It's a silly game on a silly console with a silly name.

I wish they'd released an expansion for Freelancer.
You could tell they were planning for playable capital ships :D

Freelancer was fantastic
but I could never get around the 'race' mission. I hate anything that is time dependent and usually fail. It's unfair to spoil a game by making early parts of it too difficult for players who want fun.
Without a doubt the best space trading/ battle game in the universe is X3-Reunion which is everything that Elite would have become without the bitchy legal battles that killed it off.

well, there are no offical expansions, but Freelancer Discovery mod was AMAZING
makes the game quite a bit more difficult, but the extra stuff is astounding!

I agree the console is silly
but it is a wonderful game that everyone should enjoy. Borrow one if you have to.
