How to make millions in seconds and increase your cargo hold

Tue Jun 07, 2005 6:08 pm by crazedcommander

This is my best discovery yet...
follow this to make millions without leaving a station

1. open the equipment folder
2. open "goods"
3. with "goods" open remove "goods from the equipment folder to the desktop
4. save as: goods
(now you can edit this folder)
5. open ships folder
6. repeat this for the "ship arch" document
7. know your ship and its make(border world-bw, liberty-li,rheinland-rh, corsairs-co and so on)
8 search for your ship and edit "hold_size" to desired amount
9. land on a station and check what commodities are for sale
(the example is cardamine with a 3000 space cargo hold)
10. open "goods" and search for cardamine
11. set price for cardamine (or desired commodity) to 1, save but don't exit
12. run the game and fill your hold with the now cheap commodity
13. save game and exit
14. in "goods" folder set the price for cardamine (or whatever good your using)
to a desired amount and save
15. open freelancer and sell your now valueable hold for cash

Well, I'm going to be nice, and say, "gee, that's a great modding trick for somebody who's just getting started"

Please don't try this in multiplayer - because most servers are either patched or run Ioncross. You will be booted from the server for cheating (and possibly automatically banned if using Ioncross), and admins don't accept "It was my first time" or ignorance as an excuse.

Other than that, it is a good way to make quick cash if you need it

If you find it a bit tough, look up the wrecks located in a file somewhere along the left border. In OpenSP, the ideal is to do "Flint" in New York +30k, up through colorado and kepler to Shikoku "Kobe Maru" and "Shibuya Maru", up through New tokyo to Hokkaido there`s "Kayo Cloud Battlefield" 3 wrecks, pop to chugoku, honshu, "Fugako" and "Malaga" drop down to sigma 13, 5 wrecks each giving 70k+ each.
If u are doing the story, make sure you get Flint NY and "Balboa" for the weaps. Once you learn the locations, the game is made a lot easier. If anything, a bit too easy.

interesting tip about the wrecks. And i would like to thank Chips for telling people that it won't work in MP because it won't. But i hope this helps people because it can be very difficult to get alot cash in the beginning of the game.
And there is a pilot name "Balboa"? Well, i wonder if he was looking for the atlantic ocean

Insanity is elemental, so shoot

It DOES work in MP... they're just so quickly looted and the server re-boots are so infrequent that it's hardly worth it. Flint, tho is usually ignored by most players. ( I donno why, 20 of some of the most valuable stuff, right outside the best place to sell it)

Or you could just get the trainer and hit "m" and sell one thing and instantly have 115,000,000 credits. Just a thought.

Or you could use the saveeditor (for SP) and just punch in any number you like for your credits. That's how I do it!
