If you get friendly with the cossairs or outcasts, you're also set to buy thier very heavy fighters (don't argue about which is best!). Also, if you keep one of the polices on Good terms, then you can run some very lucrative Cardamine trade routes, especially to capital plannets (300 dollers at planet Malta, 1500 at plannet Manhatten). And, if you eventually decide to switch alligence to the criminal groups, nothings more fun than blowwing up freighters just to watch the explosion, and the 4 on 1 dogfight that follows. --- RR16
