Mmmm... In the ships folder there is a file called loadouts.ini you may have to un compress it with BINI, but anyway in it is a section:

[Loadout
nickname = msn_playerloadout
archetype = ge_fighter
equip = ge_gf1_engine_01
equip = shield01_mark01_lf, HpShield01
equip = ge_fighter_power01
equip = ge_s_scanner_01
equip = ge_s_tractor_01
equip = ge_s_thruster_01, HpThruster01
equip = li_gun01_mark01, HpWeapon01
equip = li_gun01_mark01, HpWeapon02
equip = special_gun10, HpWeapon03 <-----ADD THIS LINE
equip = LargeWhiteSpecial, HpHeadlight
equip = SlowSmallOrange, HpRunningLight01
equip = SlowSmallOrange, HpRunningLight02
equip = SlowSmallOrange, HpRunningLight05
equip = contrail01, HpContrail01
equip = contrail01, HpContrail02
equip = DockingLightRedSmall, HpDockLight01
equip = DockingLightRedSmall, HpDockLight02
cargo = ge_s_battery_01, 3
cargo = ge_s_repair_01, 3

this MAY add an expensive weapon to your loadout. I dunno, since this sets it to be equipped, not in your inventory, and the starflier can't hold lvl 10 guns, nor can a lvl one guy use em. Bu that only solves the money problem. I dunno how to fix the others.

OR:
you can create a ne game, play a bit and get some cash, and get somewhere, and then find the save file,
C:/My Documents/my games/freelancer/accts/multiplayer/
in windows me/98 or in
User's Documents/my games/freelancer/accts/multiplayer/
in XP. Copy it and replace the file mpnewchar.fl in the SERVER'S Freelancer/exe folder with it. Make sure to name it mpnewchar as well. you may have to do it on the client computer as well... i dunno... haven't tried it yet, but it might work.

Look in data\characters\newcharacter.ini It changes the MP starting info. I don't know if it changes anything else, though.

Thank you very much. These tricks will be very useful.
