Added DiffLines:
* SpiritualSuccessor: The game is one to the ''Privateer'' spinoff of the ''Wing Commander'' series, also developed by Chris Roberts.
** {{VideoGame/Underspace}}, created by well-known Elder Scrolls modder Trainwiz, is currently under development. It's also a successor to his extremely weird Freelancer mod, v/Lancer.

* CrutchCharacter: The Anubis-class Very Heavy Fighter in the singleplayer campaign. It is by far the best ship available during the story mode and also the cheapest.
* ExecutiveMeddling: Many of Digital Anvil's projects were killed when they were bought by Microsoft, because MS wanted them to focus more exclusively on Freelancer. The original opening trailer was also significantly altered, removing the scene in which [[spoiler:[[StarfishAliens the Nomads]] blow up Sol some time after the Alliance's Colony Ships warped to Sirius.]]

On the one hand, they are an all-female organization whose stated intention is to overthrow the current Kusari government and establish a matriarchy. On the other hand, they maintain a very close relationship with the masculine Blood Dragons. It's unclear whether this is just a long-running EnemyMine setup or a true alliance. On the ''other'' other hand of this mutant monstrosity, the G.C. also require all their members to get addicted to Cardamine and treat their founder as an explicitly religious prophet.

** Oddly, "Hull breach imminent" is not this, since before it could possibly repeat you either use Nanobots or blow up.

This is in stark contrast to Stalker missiles, which have much better tracking and are useful for dealing the killing blow on heavily damaged enemies while freeing up reactor output for energy weapons far above the carrier ship's recommended level.

** During the Liberty section of the game, most locations (planets or {{Space Station}}s) are green or friendly to you, and red is reserved for enemy fighters. Then, when Trent and Juni are framed and have to make their escape from Manhattan, '''everything''' save for Juni's fighter ([[spoiler:and shortly Walker's squadron]]) is marked in red. Including Newark Station, Trenton Outpost, all of the trade lanes, and ''Planet Manhattan itself''. What was once the safest place in the universe for you is now the most dangerous. And you're stuck in a small, weak single fighter against a ''huge'' Liberty Navy fleet that promptly starts to [[GangUpOnTheHuman open fire on you]] from [[MoreDakka all directions]]. Essentially, it's the opening battle against the Order fighters, [[OhCrap only inverted against you]].
** The Edge worlds are as far as one can go from civilization and reside within a [[SicklyGreenGlow Sickly Green Nebula]], which makes it a creepy part of Sirius to begin with. Then comes the knowledge of Nomad presence in the area and that their homeworld is not far away.
