The planet textures could still be bigger if you ask me. Blotchy squares of blue and brown aren't exactly pretty.
Honestly, if we wanted to do it that way? Make it like X3. Stars and planets are a long, long way away- and stations make up most of it. But then it would be X3, not Freelancer...
I wanna go play X3 now. Damnit.
A million dollars isn't cool. You know what is cool? A basilisk.
