No release date given at that site or Matrix Games, I noticed...

BTW, has anybody here played FreeLancer? Any comparisons to Starfury?

I loved Freelancer! The main missions were OK, and the random missions had a lot of promise. Being able to stray from the main story was a great experience, as you could explore off the beaten path. It made the universe seem very big! Patrol ships, transports and cargo haulers buzzed about space stations and went along their business along the trade lanes, and you could hear their chatter on the comms. Every system had a distinctive look and feel. Very immersive.

Unfortunately the random missions grew repetitive very quickly, and the galaxy seemed smaller after you found that there weren't very many star systems after all. I hope Starfury puts more than this into random missions than the main story, or else it's going to be a short game.

Unless, of course, the MM tradition continues and the game is highly moddable.

Speaking of similarities... how similiar is the game play going to be to Escape Velocity:Nova ?
