leveling up has nothing to to with SP.. it depends on the money you have.. And why do you want do disable SP.. that is the best part of the game..

it has something to do with SP to become level 4 you need to complete a mission......

Allready finished SP... want to create my own universe
want to start as level 1 and be able to level up without a story...

you CAN do this, except you just skip single player altogether...

in Windows go to the Freelancer program group and start the FLServer application, wait for it to load then load FreeLancer and go to Multiplayer -> LAN and you should see your own server you can connect to.

Change the option on the server too so it doesn't advertise itself on the internet!

that's worth a try... thx

Or use my new mod I just posted in a reply above that removes the SP campaign scripts from game and starts you out with a puny ship and NO mission.

The beauty of this is you do not even have to connect to the Net using FLserver and you being a client, lags. This is only on your own computer!

SP No Missions MOD.

Made by me the Xerx. (and 12 hours of work!). No cheese, you must earn your money and level up, you status is good with Liberty Police, and not so great with pirates, threashold hostile to you, some will attack anyway. As you level up to money marks, you will unlock more jumpgates as was in SP Campaign, but of course this can be changed also! Script which ones you want open, or just go ahead open them all. This MOD is basic no SP Missions, and that is it. You can always fool with it.

Look in the freelancer.ini

you found this:

DLL = Content.dll, StoryLauncher, BELOW_NORMAL ;story/static missions

make:
;DLL = Content.dll, StoryLauncher, BELOW_NORMAL ;story/static missions

and you beginning in the Omikron System Major.

I have only the demo and it work.

yeah, but you can't do anything then, better is to play untill you are level 1 and then save, quit, disable story and load again. Also change ship stats so you can buy at level 1
