question about gameplay......

Hey all,
I just have a quick couple questions about FL , and i guess i post them here...
If anybody is able to help, that'd be great.
I just bought a copy of FREELANCER, after playing the demo, and LOVING it....
My question is this tho....in the official game description it says that you can decide
to become a LANE HACKER. Is there an acutal physical way to hack trade lanes, and disrupt them, or is it more of a "wait by the exit" sorta thing, and then kill a cargo ship? Also, i seem to remember reading a couple years ago, it might've been here, don't know...but isn't also possible to smuggle materials and stuff around, or do you just kinda sell it to the underworld, so to speak? Pirtates, outcasts, all that? And does anybody know of a mod, either here, or in dev. that unlocks all the jump gates from the start of the game?

Sorry this post is so long.....
Thanx in advance....

To hack a trade lane, just shoot at it until it's health bar runs out. Don't worry, it won't go hostile on you.

About the smuggling...I'm not sure what you mean. If you mean, like, can you take contraband from a criminal base and sell it on a Planet, then yes, you can. Just don't get caught on the way.

About the mod, yes, I know there are several mods that do that, but I can't remember the names of any of them right now. I'm sure somebody else will though.

i did once download a file,not so much a mod that gave you open jumpgates,but also gave u a class 10 ship with at least 1 of every weapon in the game plus a cargo hold full of stuff.Can't remember what it's called.
The only other mods i can think that do that is the open SP mods,in that case i'd suggest Chips OpenSP lite..a great mod
