OT: You Know I Hate

I se your point. But by mods, I do mean that the planets, items, drop rates, toughness og hulls, sheild, equipment, human models, everything is changed. Some mods it seems like a different game. However, I am afraid I did misunderstand your point. I se now that you mean this game has more user-tunable variables. I'm not sure if it does or not... but at least I know what your proposing now, lol.

I think what Fyron is trying to say is that while Freelancer may have thousands of additions you can plug into the game, it lacks SE's ability to radically alter the game. If one so desired, you could change SE4 from a 4X strategy game into a servicable fantasy RPG. To a lesser extent, you can radically alter the type of universe you play in. Want to make a Wing Commander/Starlancer type game where big ships are relatively rare, and you main strike power comes from fighters? Doable. Or do you want to play in a universe where ALL the ships are incredibly massive, and fighters just don't exist? Not a problem. You can even create mods that would do away with the most fundamental aspects of a 4X game, such as resource collection and research if you so desired.
Essentially, while games like Starlancer may have a vast number of mods due to the larger community, a game like SE offers a level of customizability that few games can match.

Damn. Should I be the MM Press Officer or what? ;-)

The mod I am using has be fighting X-Wings, Tie Fighers, Starfury's, Thunderbolts, a-wings, a Cylon Raider, vipers, and so on. Its really a cool game in that regard, but some of the cut scenes are extremly bad. The constant "you must be new here" comments, and rehashed cut scenese just kill the fun factor.

I sware if this game was a cross with a FPS, I would blow the heads off of everyone in the bar who so much as speaks the words "Oh You must Be new here!" BOOOOOOM.

"You Must be the New Guy..."
"Yep, I'm the Replacement for the Last guy who said that."
"I just Did..."
"Yep"
"Oh #@*&%"
