(Should have done this before)
VOTE!
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]There are 2 nominated FL mods (Crossfire and Freeworlds).
[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]Vote for any of them to push Freelancer as a game, keeping it alive!
Freelancer mods winning ModDB awards is for sure a good advertisement for Freelancer being still alive.
So, go and vote for Freelancer!
