   Freelancer (the game that is)(SPOILERS)
  Okay, now that my summer vacation started I decided to play Freelancer again and there is one thing I can't find no matter how much I search: the Sunslayer Torpedo Launcher. You can buy the torpedos everywhere, but I can't find the damn launcher!I mean, I know the game like the back of my hand. I have the best ship (Corsair Titan), have those cool Nomad guns that don't use any energy, have found the two weird robot- and monkey-planets; I have been everywhere. But I can't find the Sunslayer-launcher. Also, the Void mod mentions a place called Europa. Anyone know where I can find the Sunslayer-launcher and Europa?   
  Google says that Brushchal Base in Frankfurt sells the launcher for 250k. Dunno if this is a red herring or not. By the way, where are these monkey planets you mention? Never saw them before :DEdit: Judging by the link it's specific to that mod, I guess.   ;  X2 will suck you in and make you jones for another hit of that sweet space goodness.I wanted to get hooked on Freelancer, but couldn't find it anywhere after release. The demo is pretty fun.   ;  Wow, those monkeys really exist huh ^_^X2 reminds me, I just played the X3 demo... kinda strange. I tried and tried again but I just don't get this interface. Icons too small, too many icons floating around; I tried for some time to find this "player-owned" base before giving up in frustration. Wonder if the actual game is like this, too.@Ravuya: Some Amazon sellers are offering Freelancer for 30 bucks right now, though that seems kind of expensive. It's a good game though, if a bit simplistic: a dumbed-down version of Privateer with modern graphics but less gameplay elements. It also has a nice story (though the level progression is a bit limiting)   ;Quote:Original post by lightbringer@Ravuya: Some Amazon sellers are offering Freelancer for 30 bucks right now, though that seems kind of expensive.

[grin]   ;  Considering that one of the entries for Freelancer reads "$1,000.00 Like new" I think there is good cause to be cautious :DI like that idea, but it may not be economically viable -_-You might be better off to subcontract mercenaries who track down and execute fradulent resellers.   ;  Freelancer is a great game... but only once.John B   ;Quote:Original post by lightbringerWow, those monkeys really exist huh ^_^X2 reminds me, I just played the X3 demo... kinda strange.

Just be sure you update to the latest patch.   ;  hmm, im gonna have to replay this game so i can make it to germany and buy the cool stuff. by the time i got their the first time, the game main quest was almost over and i couldnt get a ship. only some small guns   ;  Sorry to derail the topic slightly:How does X2 play?  Do you fly the ship manually, pointing at where you want to shoot?  Or is it a click-to-target and wait to die kind of game?
