Did you buy the rights for Freelancer from Microsoft? Also if a company is involved it may sound like you are looking for people who work for free for you.

Yeah I guess there is not enough info yet. I was a little confused on how to interpret the intentions. If you all work for free on it, then it's the typical modding spirit and it is fine. "professional modellers" in connection with a company sounded quite commercial to me, hence the questions.

Hey all.

I'm the founder of MAK-Corp. Its a pleasure to meet you all here. I just wanted to stop by and let you all know a bit about us.

We began as a mod group in the sim-racing genre with the aim to become a self-made game development company similar to Simbin, Blimey Games, Slightly Mad Studio's etc. With our commercial and modding success in the sim-racing genre now reaching quite high levels, we've wanted to expand the modding side to a new genre and help modders in that genre become more well known and even reach industry standards if that is their desire.

Freelancer Chronicles is a free mod project. As fans of the game the aim is to expand it with fresh new content, create all the original content in higher poly, update the graphics and provide fans of the game a whole new revamped version of the game.

Xeltron245 is heading the development of the project and will keep you all up to date with all the happenings. We also welcome any modders who are wanting to be a part of this project or who are looking to learn how they can become industry capable to get jobs in the industry. You can contact me at any time on our forum as I am on there every day.

The FL Chronicles website will open very soon as its having the final stuff being done to it to be released to public. We hope to provide a fun and enjoyable experience for all of you and hopefully we can revive Freelancer into new heights.

I look forward to getting to know the FL community and hope you will support our project.

Original content in high poly with updated graphics, can't wait to see that

Well, what can I say, I'm really curious about what will you be making so I wish you guys the best of luck with this

Essentially we are pushing the boundaries of Freelancer. A new nav map will be needed as we are adding far more systems than you could imagine, they've all been planned out which took me quite a while. That's so hopefully they will work well when they are released in terms of commodity trading etc. Lots of new factions too. New alien races, but essentially it will be well beyond what you would imagine in Freelancer. We have even managed to contact someone from the original development team of Freelancer to ask a few questions about the limits of it and believe me its exciting what we can actually do. If I tell you that the number of systems is larger than 3 figures that should give you an idea of the scale of this. Obviously it's going to be a project that will develop as time goes on and we will allow you guys to test it as we are working on it but you get the picture.

Yeah as we go we will share the info with you. We aren't gonna hide too much about what we are doing because ultimately we want to help revitalise this community so yeah we will share stuff with you as it happens.
