So I had to work today (booooo) and then had to get my plane ready for an aerobatic clinic in the morning (yaaaay), and as such had to wait until I got home to watch the GamesCon presentation and all I can say is it fucking blew my mind.

2.6 will be cool but 3.0 looks to just be everything I personally have ever wanted in a space sim, if they can get that level of content in along with a minor improvement in netcode for an FPS bump I will be beyond happy. That was truly a tour-de-force presentation.

I can wait until the end of the year for that no problem - the NPC interaction was incredible, the seamlessness from station to ship to planetfall to station and so on, the damage states on the Starfarer, and the damn Dragonfly and Ursa, it was all...wow, just, wow.

Major kudos to the whole CIG team, that was one of the coolest things I have ever seen.

I loved the NPC interaction. It's not just reading some text of what they are saying. Also the double cross was pretty cool at the end.

I'm just imagining how much fun we can have in the mini PU once the planet side play comes available.

I can't wait.

I know what you mean! It was pretty much porn and the metaphorical fapping commenced in the form of a Mega Pack purchase!

How could you ever stop loving a Freelancer?

I should think so.


Don't forget folks, 3.0 will include all 4 Planets in the Stanton system plus Delamar (a Nyx Planet inserted for test purposes).
I am looking forward to exploring MicroTech (city & planet) - It is an ice planet with water.
CityBoppin & BarHopping coming SOON.

Tipsy & I are very excited. Will you join us?

Bring your Dragonfly, we'll race them over the ice.

FUN, FUN,FUN until @Montoya takes the keys away.

Me and the 'lancer have a love/hate relationship. I love it when it's "two shot"-ing Vanduul and pirates with the side mounted cannons. I hate it when I exit the pilot's seat only to discover that I forgot to close the rear door, and now I have 30 players squatting in my cargo bay like a bunch of homeless dudes in an old school bus.

Those are the best kind of school buses.

Something that impressed me and its really silly but what impressed me was just how long even that simple mission took. No shortcuts as everything is done physically from getting to the ship and everything.

Yeah man. I completely agree. The level of immersion. It's nuts. We're going to LIVE in this 'verse. Haha. I'm so excited. Can't wait to get back into the verse tonight. I'm hyped.

That guy at the bar on Levski lied to you about his identity. It was in fact @CosmicTrader just city boppin/ bar hoppin.

And coming in to steal the cargo after the we did all the work. Sounds like @CosmicTrader, especially after he finds out the cargo is beer. Dirty ol' boy. Ha. Can't help but love his double crossing, beer stealing, city boppin' and bar hoppin' self. :P
Love you Cosmic!
