Maybe some of you have played Freelancer, the unfinished (and unpolished) Third-Person Space Trade and Combat Simulator game made exclusively for the PC. Many of you have not. For the ones who haven't, I'll explain best I can.

Freelancer was a game that, in a lot of ways, changed the dynamics of the Space Genre. By offering great graphics for the time, an incredible number of mods available, and while people hosted their own servers, a great game that really changed the dynamic of space games forever to come.

Reach showed me something, something very interesting. While I was playing on Longest Night of Solace, there was an idea that came to mind, when flying through the space part. The Auto-Docking, being carried through space by larger class vessels, the pass based fighting...

Then it hit me.

By complete accident, the people at Bungie stumbled the foundation upon which Space Combat Trade could thrive in modern world. The interaction for Halo on Long Night of Solace are absolutely perfect for the genre. That's how it's supposed to be, in the next generation.

What, personally, I ask to Bungie is to consider the idea. In a world where Space Trade and Combat simulators are rare, Jumpgate Evolution, a game that was delayed for two years, has over 250,000 beta test applicants. And that, is without any advertising of any sort.

It would take an innovative mind, but space combat trade can be a revived genre, it had millions of fans before, that are still fans, but waiting for the right title to come out.

I know that I, for one, have had many many ideas and visions of what this could come out as. Thoughts, anybody?

Edit: And just for the information purposes, Freelancer was made by a studio called Digital Anvil, owned by...Microsoft. So, it's not impossible of an idea either.
