Freelancer as I Saw It

[Warhawk]

ignoring almost a year of RP entirely?

I wouldn't know which specific RP you'd be referring to, but that argument in of itself as it relates to a Discovery reboot serves to reinforce my premise: Get it down pat first, before anything has to be retconned into dust for inconsistency or who knows what else. I don't expect Discovery to ever do that; rather, let it be a caution to new projects folks may have in the future.

Gotta say though, re-reading what you quoted, I let too much hyperbole slip in there. "Nothing" good? That was wrong of me to say; just about everything in life has something redeeming about it, and even a broken, half-finished game like Freelancer still had enough love worked into it that it spawned decades of follow-on mods. I deserve the flak I get for that line.
