Hi all,
A little update as to my plans for the Genesis mod.
I noticed over the recent celebrations for Freelancer's 20th anniversary, that there is still plenty of interest in the game. When i did my AMA session for Genesis, it was well attended with plenty of questions and interest.
My plans going forward was to finish Genesis in it's current guise and that's that. Of course, that's not going to happen. One idea i had years ago when i was making a mod that i didn't actually release, but had large parts of Genesis already in it, was to include remnants of the Starlancer storyline. This is important for the backstory of Freelancer as the two are connected. So to this end, i'm currently converting a large number of Starlancer assets into useable models to use in Freelancer. One of the other reasons to include these, is the inclusion of the Sol system in Genesis. This allows me to add Starlancer assets to the Sol system and try and further the story of what happened to the Alliance and the Coalition after the Sleeper ships left the Sol system. Did the war continue? Who won? Are they still here? Especially as the Sol system has now been re-colonised and the children of Sirius have returned.
