Tip for MP newbies.

Figure i give them a starting out strategy.


If you want to get a new ship right off the bat go get a patriot. But heres what you do.


Transfer the shield that comes with the patriot to the dealer, it's the same shield u get witht he starflier, but you can sell it for more than a few hundred.
Sell all of your shield batteries. You wont need em, they are poinntless to me, shields can regenerate, hulls cant.

Then when your dont with that, re mount the shield before you buy (not the one you just sold, the original shield you have) then buy the ship.

after that go to the equiptment dealer and buy w justice mk 1. They fire fast and is good for energy saving.

Then if you have money left buy a cargo hold full of water. If you have enough money, stock up on nanobots.


Then go trade some water to pittsburg (buy at manhatten for 15 and sell at pittsburg for 30. It doubles how much you spent buying it.). Then do some missions, you shouldnt have too much trouble, you can out maneuver any pirate with a patriot. Just keep shooting that little crosehair thats always on the enemy.


If you want to keep your rep up with the system AND you want to get freindly with everyone else. there here is what you should do.



If you want to stay friendly with bounty hunters and all of new york, but get friendly with the other pirates, kill xenos.


If u want to get friendly with xenos and everyone else and stay friendly with new york, kill bounty hunters.


If you just want to piss off manhatten kill everything in site.



But dont sit there like an idiot blasting transports, that's a good way to die. Instead start picking off a few people out of site of stations like in a field or in the middle of no where. If you are fighting in a patriot and all of a sudden a dozen more enemies pop out of nowhere. Run. You will not survive long. Not even expirianced players can survive a huge swarm of pissed off people.


Rochester is a good place to sell cardamine without getting scanned. Though it only sells a lil less than on manhatten, it's still the second best price in all of sirius. (after manhatten of course)

"Newbs to MP!" Most people on any server are generous so you could always ask for some starting creds but don't expect 5mil aight? Someting is better than nothing...

"Oh SNAP FOO!"

OR when you come out of manhattan, you can blow up the cargo depots, grab the cargo before the police gets to you and run off. (RUN, kill eng turn around, this is easy)
Sell it and go for some other depots or check the wrecks. Sell everything you have (guns and bats - keep shields) and do a few small traderuns. (because you attacked and killed the depots, you should be neutral to pirates!!!)
With the cash you got from the depots, there's no point to trade water.
Do stuff with light arms to montezuma and cardamine back. Or the long Ainu base-manhattan runs.
Grab a rhino. Do the runs, grab a drome, grab eagle.
Got me eagle (no good weaps yet) in like 2- hours on a server that starts with 10k $
It was weird but funny. I made a new char while there were like 5 guys level 4-6. After 1 hour they're lvl 5-7 while i'm 20+

Heres a tip. Never ask some one for there weapons no matter how many of them they have. Its just anoing and not very smart when you see a starfiler asking a Titan for its Diamondbacks when they can't even use them yet. Also know the Cerbeuse is better then the Diamondback so stop asking for them.

Thanks for the tips. Much appreciated.

Here's a tip for new players,

avoid dung-eaters like Heretic. The only thing he can teach you is how to cheat, lie, and use 3rd grade-level spelling and grammar.

Post Mon Jul 28, 2003 9:07 pm

if you wanna raid transports do it in the middle of a lane, not right infront of the planet or station, im so sick of having to bail noobs out who dont realise this

Dont like friendly fire? Move!

Good tips Heretic, but i didnt seen any MP as stated on the topic. Other good tips on "SP" can be found under "SinglePlayer" category in this forum.
Heretic check them out maybe you find somthing new.

For MP there is only one major tip: Dont cheat.
(look at the post: The verb "cheat"

Post Tue Jul 29, 2003 7:05 am

im a newbie myself heretic this was really helpfull , btw what server do you play on heretic i remember seeing you on Elite the first time i ever played MP freelancer , but never saw you again

Post Wed Jul 30, 2003 4:56 am

A good set of explanation for the new peoples... but I am personally a fan of giving a n00b 20k or so... just some spending cash but it lets them have some fun without having to go for half an hour making piecemeal... and what is 20k to a level 30 person anyways? popcorn leftovers (you know the little unexploded popcorn thingies a tthe bottom of the bag... i HATE those!) so yeah... in conclusion... n00bs are peoples too... sometimes...
