I prefer roll playing in a Freelancer universe as a 'normal' pilot.
Instead of adding lots of odd stuff.
Of course people want to be unique and stuff its the nature of humans.
However you can be unique in roll playing a original roll without all the addings from outside of a freelancer universe.
But maybe I'm just like that since I prefer Realism over Fantasy.
Hence why I play race games, strategy games (hostorical mostly), and space sims such a Nexus because they make sense in some way but all the cat, elf, orcs whatever ain't my thing.
