Too bad the combat in X³ is so boring. Would be an excellent Privateer successor otherwise.

I don't mind the combat in X3 at all. I do wish I had the ability to turn the engines off and pull some of the manuevers that I could in Freelancer. But all in all, I don't mind it.

Well.. In Freelancer you could cut engines completely off and just use directional boost, allowing you to fly through space just rotating. It made it me near unstoppable in the PvP and PvE fights. Also great for avoiding missles (Which you run into alot in X3) as you could cut engines and boost into a solid 180 degree turn. The physics of it are wonky as such a turn would make your brain turn into jelly, but I do miss it. I never found a way to do similar things in X

Umm, you mean MODDED Freelancer - right, bud? Stock FL didn't have Newtonian physics, so once you cut engines you came to a stop. Mods like TNG 1.7+ added Newtonian physics =)

No way man..my stock freelancer you could cut engines and float along.. You had to actually bind the Cut Engines button though, there was one that was similar and it would stop you. The other button would cut it and you would float. I never played any modded freelancer... Well actually I did try rebalance once but it pissed mehoff.

No one I played online with seemed to as well.. I guess because it wasn't bound by default. It added ridiculous amounts of control to the ship though, and combat much more easy/fun if you could put up with the constant tapping of cut engines..and monitoring your speed once you put them back on ..and trying not to puke from spinning around so quickly.

That was the only good feature about FL combat though. Aside from that it was the same popamole hold-LMB-and-follow-target-with-mouse crap X³ has. This kind of game needs joystick controls for cool dogfights.

I guess I can agree with that. But after playing X3 for so long..I have to admit I'm only in a fight once every blue moon. And usually then i'm driving some school bus full of ore and just hide behind the nearest base until they go away lol.

You could actually do it with mods..
For X3 there's the mod "Advanced Thruster Control"
Also X:TC had one as a reward from "Deathmatch Arena"
They did work.. but mind you last time I tried either has been years ago.

I really love games like this, sadly they are too far and between. Wish they would have multiplayer in this.
Still hoping for another freelancer.
