I was trying my strategy when i realized its harder to get a frieghter into Omicron Alpha than it looks... I decided to take the long way to avoid the GMG in Beta, then the game locked me up at a trade lane entrance and I was a perfect target for the four LWB Hawks that jumped me. Lesson learned.

@J Dawg while ur sitting at a jumpgate, and u get jumped, just hit the free flight icon at the top of ur screen (the ship surroundedd by arrows) and dodge their fire until all of the CPU ships are through, then use some sheild batts and dock with the gate when ur really close to it... you shouldnt die unless you're either a horrible pilot or 12 corsair titans and 6 legionairres attack you (good thing i fixed my rep with them... )

titans aren't hard to fight off its piss to fight off 12 corsair titans and 6 legionairres attaks if you have a titan saber or an eagal

I have a full friendly rep with corsairs.
I went back and forth from Crete to Tripoli.
Repeatedly accepted missions.
Never got higher than 140K.
Why? Why Me?
A little help here... this happen to anyone else?


We don't own this place, but we have an understanding with the people who do.....

their are multiple bases/planets...

all corsair bases/planets and outcast bases/planets in omicron alpha, omicron beta, omicron gamma and omega-41 give up to 245k missions in multiplayer...

i don't know how much the best payed hunters misions are, but my highest yet was 205k, that was from freeport 5, omega-41, but i think you can get them also from freeport 10 (omicron theta) and freeport 9 (tau-37) and the miners base in tau-37 (forgot the name and the faction).


all missions are already done in the defender, almost all 245k missions are done in the dagger (exc. kill all fighters/base and fighters/capture person without backup, what i know), i'm mostly destroyed by the remaining fighters.

Are 245k missions only in multiplayer? I've flown missions from Planet Crete and Tripoli shipyard for several hours, and haven't seen anything above 150k. In fact, the amout of reward is actually going DOWN. The only thing making it worthwhile is the reaver mkII's and Consumer goods that those wussy BHG ships drop. I've played freelancer for proabably about 110 hrs on my various sp games and still haven't ever seen anything big. How do you guys get all this??

But there's one big problem. We shouldn't really be here. People, planets, stars, galaxies should all be impossible dreams. In theory, nothing should exist.

There's the whole element of cooperation in MP play, the idea is that the big missions need more than one player (although, of course, not if you're good), but completing missions with other people splits the money equally among all of you. That's why the payout is higher. You could probably change the payouts with some simple ini editing, but that's not my field

"There are 10 kinds of people in this world: those who understand binary and those who don't"

Thanks DragonBreath... that makes more sense now. Anyone know how to edit the .ini to get more $$$ in SP? I am still one of those poor saps with dial-up to multiplayer isn't an option for me

@J Dawg, i don't know where to edit that, but maybe a look in the editting forum will help ya out

the patience game is already at work. You have to be patient, most players would lose there mind that there are no 245k missions but hang around and you will them

Thanks to all. I talked to the fellas over in the editing forum and they showed me how to up the payout. Now I just need to figure out how to increase the difficulty to match. Wonder what a $1,000,000 mission feels like...
