Freighter Shields lvl 10 - BIg Problem!

Thu Jul 10, 2003 4:08 am by Frako

Has any one noticed that freighters can't carry more than lvl 7-8 weaps and sheilds? But, there are lvl 10 sheilds on Malta and Crete, but no Freighters to mount them to. I was just wondering, was this a mistake they made during the beta of Freeelancer, or is there a secret Freighter hidden somewhere?
Here's my thing

Libery - Rhino
Bretonia - Cycslade*
Rheinland - Humpback
Kusari - Drone
Hispania - ????

For hispania, would the Dromadary* be the Freighter? It's a bit strange, cuz you have to travel all the way over to the other side of the system to the Border Worlds....I think the Hispania has a secret Freighter n one has found yet....

Please post your comments on this post, and what you think about it!

I use TNG v 1.4, but some of the freighters can carry lvl ten weaps and shields.

nope, no fireghter can use a class 10 shield. however, The BorderWorld/Cosair/Outcast freighter is the Dromedary, sold at Mactan. It has a cargo hold at 275 (best in the game) but not much weapons capability.

think that maybe the problem is that microsoft planned on some stuff and never finished it off - check all those other weapons and commodities that appear in the ini files - wierd to have em and not actually in game?

lol- one other thing - if in SP - why not mod the shield class carrying capability of your frieghter instead....hehe - then mount a class ten. Work in multiplayer - not really - unless someone has no safeguards on their server....

If your going to change a freighter to allow lvl 10 shields just may as well get yourselve an Eagle and change its cargo hold to 500 like I did . This is one great site and I wish I found it sooner before I got creamed so many times playing the game through the storyline missions and burning up from radiaton searching the wrecks and being surprised to find your first lvl10 gun when you do manage to survive. Now I've learned to make changes and cruise at 2000, thrust to 520 with a normal speed of 160. Can buy certain lvl 10 items, ships of your choice and the sunslayer torp laucher at different bases. Tried ubershields/hull but what's the point as it takes away the rush you get when your trying to just survive an attack from Outcasts as your exiting a jumphole in the Omnicrom systems. I would like to thank the persons for making BINI and the "quick and dirty" interface for it. Now I need to learn how to use UTF as I want to put a missle/gun hp on the top of my Eagle to replace that light over the cockpit. Going to try MP someday.
Keep up all the good work you do and hope this site will be around for a long time. "Check!"--Trent

One of my SP savegames has an Awing with a 150k capacity cargo bay. I like to plot a course circumnavigating the entire galaxy and when I (if I) get back to the start point I cash it all in. Like a locust I move from system to system and destroy everything in my way. It's a fun diversion if you like killing and looting things nonstop. Try it sometime.

Don't forget to make escape pods (slaves!!!) as a sellable commodity and make ships drop them. That adds a richer significance to the entertainment.
