A really good run, except for Tekagi's Arch bugging out a bit. Luck was average. Sub 4:05 should be possible, sub 4:00 will be hard without new strats or a new route.
Wow, I didn't expect someone is still trying to speedrun this game. Speedrun always shows the game from a different angle, so I wanted to discover one of my favorite games this way. Thanks a lot :D I'm surprised that there are glitches even in such a technically simple game.
Always bothered me how Juni could go from Manchester to New London to Cambridge (01:20:15) in the same time it takes me to fly from the Jump Hole to Planet Leeds. Great run!
@@rogerwilco220 He doesn't die inside the ship. If you deal too much damage the mission will fail, you also have to wait for the objective to update, that's when he stops being essential to the mission. The reason you can still fail the mission after the objective updates is because Cosmo is listed as a friendly/neutral unit, and attacking friendly/neutral units will always fail the current mission. However, there is a damage threshold, in case you accidentally deal damage. So to kill Cosmo without failing the mission, you need to first wait for the mission objective to update, then destroy his ship with the least amount of damage possible. A good way to ensure he will have little health left is to first take down his shield and damage his hull as much as you can without making him cease fire, then wait for King to fire a missile at him and immediatelly shoot Cosmo again to trigger the cease fire. That way, King's missile will strike Cosmo during the cutscene, when he is most vulnerable. After the cutscene, just wait for the mission objective to update and then kill Cosmo. The most I've got him to drop was 7 artifacts out of the 20 he is carrying, the amount that drops is related to your net worth, so the higher your worth, the greater the amount of artifacts that drop.
@@mackxzs yea, i actually tried to killed him slowly and failed the mission. Good thing is liberty has plasma weapon in roster. 4 lavablades on a patriot chew anything with a few shots. U dont even need king's rocket to make him cease fire b/c one good shot on the armor and he's ready
Dunno if you're still doing this but I found a bug a few years ago, if you kill your engines during afterburner and hit one of your own mines (I believe that was just dropped) you will be propelled a huge amount, like several K. Might make some parts of the run quite a bit faster if it can be replicated quickly and how to aim it
Thanks, I haven't done a run in a while but I hope to eventually get around to it. The bug itself is known, it's a quirk of the physics engine at high frame rates. Unfortunately nobody has managed to aim it accurately/consistently enough to make it viable for a run, yet. If we could it would indeed save quite a bit of time...
@@tsnyYou seem to have a point, that seems to be a lot more consistent than I remembered it. I just did some tests myself and it might actually be accurate enough to be viable. I suspect every ship to behave differently on this, though... Time to find a section of the game where it can be used. I already noticed that sections with other NPCs around can be problematic... So thanks for that hint. ;D
The main reason is the larger cargo space, which is useful for getting lots of money in the early game. The extra guns are nice as well, but overall I'd prefer a Defender for the fighting part myself. And it may actually be viable to use one. Current second place is already using one and with the new trick of looting the transports in Mission 3 we could loot the H-Fuel depot one time less... So a future route may actually use a Defender in Liberty.
I actually go into formation with a docking NPC as soon as I'm close to point where your ship normally accelerates, causing me to jump at an instant while maintaining my cruise state. The same works with jump holes.
@@SydMontague habe frindly fire Bugs genutzt wie du aber mir auch nen Frachtraum vor einer Mission gekauft und nach der mission verkauft verkauft hatte dann direkt wieder die nächste mission, außerdem habe ich wracks beschossen wo es nur ging während einer mission. Beispiel: wenn du nen lucky run hast bekommste 1 Azrael und 2 Drails mit 10 Schutzschild Bats und 5 Nanobots, bei der MSN 01a/01b und verkaufst dann dein gesammtes equip hast dann schon eig. die nächste stufe. Bei der 2ten mission kannst du den DSE typen abachiesen. BTW nachdem das spiel speichert.
wenn du die hälfte der Cutseense wegglitchst dann geht sowas alle Cutseense sind so ca 1.30std lang wenn du ein teil weggschneidest dann gehts auch schneller, außerdem wenn du alles vorbereitest kannst du auch die Dialoge komplet rausmachen.

34:13 Good to see King getting in the spirit.

Best game ever!
Agree, I am still playing it to this day. Would be awesome if they ever make a Freelancer 2 and continue with Trents story
@@Fhoxi What server are u playing?
@@kasius27 Freelancer Discovery, if you want info on it, ill link it for you.
Discovery
thank you for speed run
every companion in this game is a certified ehrenmann!
33:55
TrEnt, We HaVE To Go FasTER!!!!
xD
47:37 "NavBouy"
02:18:18 "What are we waiting
for?"
03:46:33 "That's what she said!"
Nice!
it's a good run, but super quiet for a UA-cam video. gotta love that voice acting.. TRENT!!!
0-titan speedrun was my favorite to do growing up
28:06 you can kill that guy after the objective changes to go to pueblo, he drops some artifacts (not the 20 he's carrying, but it's worth something)
That is what I was trying, but I didn't manage to kill him fast enough for it to be worth it so I just moved on.
@@SydMontague could have used your guns, it only fails the mission if you deal too much damage (like a missile), he had only a sliver of health left
@@mackxzs u need to wait till he starts coughing and died inside, after that is safe to kill and loot his hip

@@SydMontague Oh I haven't seen that. Seems to be semi-aimable if you drop one and then reverse engines and kill engines. I put out a video just now.

So thanks for that hint. ;D
Hell yeah can't wait@@SydMontague
50:29 why did you shoot the transport ships?
To get the artifacts they carry, which are sold on Manhattan for quite a bit of money to bankroll the rest of the run.
Sound level is so low :(
Of all of the ships, why get a Rhino? Better power plant? More guns?
The main reason is the larger cargo space, which is useful for getting lots of money in the early game. The extra guns are nice as well, but overall I'd prefer a Defender for the fighting part myself.
And it may actually be viable to use one. Current second place is already using one and with the new trick of looting the transports in Mission 3 we could loot the H-Fuel depot one time less... So a future route may actually use a Defender in Liberty.
43:20 how did you end up flying into the jump gate and using it without docking or flying formation with someone who is?
I actually go into formation with a docking NPC as soon as I'm close to point where your ship normally accelerates, causing me to jump at an instant while maintaining my cruise state. The same works with jump holes.
1:15:00 I am prety sure you can head for the gate atleast 10 secs faster.
I'm using Engine Kill to make Juni fall back so that I can dock before her.
ach sieh an ich habe das spiel auch gespeed runnt, blos schneller in 3:30std, woher ich weiß das du deutsch bist schau Discord HC Server ^^ XD
Video? Womit hast du 30 Minuten im Vergleich zum WR eingespart?
Sorry, so eine Behauptung klingt nicht sehr glaubwürdig. ;)

@@Feuerknabe Das klingt nach einer Standard Geld Route die der WR auch nutzt, wo willst du damit über 30 Minuten einsparen?
