I'm just saying, with this rebirth of the space sim, freespace might be considered once more... not only did FS2 fail because of lack of advertising, but it also lost out because the industry was slowing down. Just now,
of good sims are comming out, and that is likely a boost of a possible official sequel...
Everyone wants a sequel to FS2 that is made by
... we don't give a sh*t about other companies' possible sequel...
Remember
is very much alive, but it's interplay, a company that did the game with
, that is deep in debt. I personally liked the old games from Interplay...
Oh quit it. It is best for all if

won't make a sequel even if it gets the chance.
1. Much has changed since

made FS1 and FS2, people have come and left.
2. If FS3 would be announced, either by

or another company. Do you seriously think it would live up to its expectations?
3. And there is always the possibility that FS3 would genuinely suck as a game.
4. The community has made and is still making unofficial sequels and other mods to FS2 and there is the SCP. Announcement and eventual release of FS3 more than likely would deal a serious blow to the community mod and SCP development.
5. FS2_Open and FRED2_Open is FS3 and much more than that. Because it is open-source, only the skills, time and imagination of the community developers is the limit.
If

does have an official continuation to the story, they don't need to develop a new game to tell the story.
