It's not terrible, but for some reason I just can't get into it.

First of all, I'd like to wish you luck with the project. It's truly an ambitious one, but if it succeeds I can see it becoming a great asset to the longevity of Freelancer.

I do have to say though, it's hard to have faith in your ability to back up your claims. You're asking for testers before even showing the community what you've achieved. Until you've reached an alpha or beta state, testing can generally be done internally by the creators.

You sound very confident of your abilities, which is great, but this is not the first time someone has come along and said 'We are going to make the best thing for Freelancer since Juni's butt', and I'd wager you won't be the last.

The Starport is home to many veteran modders (and so not to be accused of bias, I am certainly not one of them ) who have done absolutely amazing things with the engine, but that didn't come without a lot of work. And time. And probably tears.

What I'm getting at is, if you want to become more than every other group that has made similar claims in the past, I would suggest you knuckle down and get something done to show us. Pretty renders of models is not enough, give us something with substance, that tells us 'These guys know what they're doing'.

I don't mean to sound nasty or whatever, I just want you to know it's extremely hard to get excited about this sort of project, when we've seen so many of them before.

Oh hey look a thread on the Starport with OP posting in it, and suddenly everyone is at each other's throats.

If you're running Hamachi, make sure to disable IPv6 on that connection too; it's been a trouble-maker for me in the past.

Been burnt way too many times by games like this, so I'm not exactly excited, but I am looking forward to seeing what comes of it.

Nice work as always adoxa, good to see sound getting a bit of love.

Neb disappeared right after I pledged to become a modder... figures.
