The best way is to buy the rhino freighter as soon as you can and haul everything for a profit no matter how small. Do a few of the level missions and once Juni opens the Liberty jump gates to you, trade in as many different things and hit all the bases you can. You will hit upon a trade route hauling one kind of goods buying something there and hauling it to the other place until you have a lot of money.
I personally never took a bar job and ignored the mission request from Juni,(after she opened the jump gates), until I had made about 750,000. You still need the missions to level up (unless you MOD your game) but if you have a fair amount of money before you begin the campaign in earnest you will be much happier later when you have to purchase the big ticket items to finish the SP Game.
I sold the freighter and bought a Bloodhound and flew it until about mission 10 before selling it and buying a Hawk (I think it was mission 10 or 12). That is the ship I am trying to use to beat the SP for the 3rd time. I used a freighter the 2nd time to beat it so I am a glutton for punishment as you can see.
The game is called freelancer and I took as much advantage of that as the parameters that were built into the game would allow. If you have to purchase items to make it through the SP game you should at least make a lot of money before hand to help your own cause don't you think?
Just some thoughts from the edge of space!
