There are some spectacular looking environments in FreeLancer, like red, cloudy nebulas streaked by lightning, and icy asteroids fields with clouds of wispy vapor that stretch as far as the eye can see. These environments look stunning and HERE are some screenshots to demonstrate it:

About missions:

Roberts says there are about 16 mission templates - cargo runs, escort missions, search and destroy - reconnaissance, bounty hunts, smuggling, and more. Then there are different variations on these themes, depending on who gives you the missions, what ships you have to destroy or defend, the cargo you need to carry, and so forth. With these combinations, Microsoft is boasting that the game has over 300 specific missions. All of these missions come through interacting with the NPCs at various bars on the many worlds and space stations. I hope this means that we will be at last allowd to land on pirate space station. Discuss this in FreeLancer Forum.

More news about mouse control and the new interface. Microsoft and Digital Anvil want the game to be very easy to get into and easy to play for the beginners. But there are rumors that there will be a possibility to fly the ship using a joystick but then it will be much more difficult to target individual parts of the ship. That is supposed to be major innovation in the game since player can target ships engines and weapons and then salvage the crippled ship. Discuss this in FreeLancer Forum.

Some more news about NPC's in the game. As they talk to you, their faces twitch and move and their eyes light up or darken to accentuate their speech. You'll see the eyes of characters wrinkle, their lips pull back for a smirk, or their eyes narrow with suspicion. This detail lends a lot to the credibility of these NPCs.

To celebrate 1.000 visitors I decided to redesign the page. I think this looks much better.
