Uh, never mind…

A friend of mine (lets call him Earp) works for the cable company and talked his employers into giving him a Cisco 905 to use as his home cable modem. He set up a Freelancer server and because he lives only a couple miles away from me the ping times are legendary.
Anyway, Earp and I were sitting outside New Tokyo planning our next move when I hear the all-too-familiar pirate spiel “hand over your cargo”. You know the drill. I see the pirate, a Junker, parked behind Earp. Well Earp hits the cancel button when given the option and we hear “You just signed your own death warrant!” Earp turned around to face his antagonist. The Junker took one look at Earp’s fully loaded Eagle, turned around and ran away. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing; it was truly hilarious.

hehe. agree with u in 2 points:
In New Tokyo & New Berlin with full load of DIamonds, if u stay still for more than 5 secs some junkers will come and "greet" u. i been "greeted" 3 times in 5 mins in Berlin.

And, AI doesn't seem to estimate how good u r when they "greet" ya, it only happens after he became hostile with u.

heehheh.

This is really multiplayer the way it was meant to be played. Earp (not his real name) and I both have other characters. For example there is Wild Bill who has a decked out Humpback complete with graviton shields. He makes our cash for us (I play as Wild Bill). Jessie James is a storage character that Earp uses. We are going to buy Jessie a Hammerhead for a change of pace and to insure that he can travel where he might need to go without too much trouble. I have my own storage character, Frank James (of course) that we intend on moving to the opposite side of the universe for convenience sake. Earp and Holliday both have fully kitted Eagles. We turned off the ability to harm each other so friendly fire can’t happen. Earp is a Freelancer newcomer so this is his first Eagle. We have already had some exciting moments, and some amusing ones as well.

Hey weird...I made a character just for the heck of it with the Empathy of Xenos -1 for all, well I go around knocking out Xenos, and get Green with everyone, and neutral with the Xenos (I added them under themselves and made them -1 also, don't know why it didn't go all the way green but anyway...) anyway, I'm going through a Trade Lane to Detroit, in a fully decked out Rhino (heh ooooooooo scaaaaaaary, but hey to 2 Starfliers it might be ). Anyway I get hacked and I'm the only one around, well the two Neutral Starfliers (Xenos) fly to me as I'm waiting for the Lane to come back online, well I get the "OK that's it, drop your cargo!" But then no box comes up and they just go away...I dunno...weird...

I also saw a Junker do that to a Republican Transport....can't say I've ever seen an AI say that to another AI...

I wish you could have seen the u-turn this guy made when he saw Earp's Eagle up close. Priceless.
