I would download Freelancer Mod-Manager and start downloading modifications ASAP! Visit other people's systems, or fight the entire Liberty Navy (Including the Battleships and Cruisers!) and maybe you can fly the Millenium Falcon or an Aurora Starfury as well! There are even modifications that can let you fly the NPC ships, such as the grotesque Bretonian Battleship or the sleek Kusari Gunboat. I personally like piloting Kusari ships around and blasting some Corsair from here to Omicron Persei 8, and back again of course. And if you aren't satisfied with your high level in the single-player missions, you can always join or host a server on multiplayer, after all.

Whatever you do, don't fly a Liberty Dreadnought, its top speed is 30 kph!!!!! Not only that, it turns like nothing, about .0000158882 degrees/minute, nice firepower, but this thing really does fly like a boat. Then again, you could modify it, but then it wouldn't be as realistic...even though this ship is reallyreallyreally cool

Another thing is don't fly a large train; another mod thing, 1 million cargo, but once again it really acts like a large train, with a slightly better .000244396 degrees/minute, crapy firepower tho, but fun for a while.

EEh, anyways, it doesn't really matter, just download a bunch of FLMM mods, and try em out, theres bound to be something that you like

Well jumpinroo you could always try MP. I find awesomely fun

Btw.. is "awesomely" a real word?

"Oh SNAP FOO!"

Level 39???????? I reached the maximum level at 38?????????

rebalance or hostile universe should liven things up for you

Sure, but then you get a ctd, and it's not very funny anymore.

use your imagination and pertend its real too

Try taking some lvl 35+ missions in a drake or another light fighter.

By now its not as is you dont have the cash to buy the titian/eagle/sabre again if things get too difficult.

The lighter ship you fly, the more you have to rely upon you skills as a pilot, rather than letting the shields soak up the damage.

Or play SP again and do it only in a patriot, or freighter.

there are dozens of ships, different weapons and commodities. The universe is your to play in.

Just my $0.02, but it could just be the cardamine talking.
Nil Mortifi Sine Lucre
aka Shaman - gameArena Server

I'd say, try rebalance, then accept some highlvl missions, you have to take out entire fleets from time to time (including cruisers/gunboats/battleships)
You could try multiplayer as well, seems like a lot of people like that, i personally dont really enjoy due to the cheating/modding

the shadow fighter mod get them do not get the cheapest one though.
wonder where all those credits went?

berserk killing spree yeah

blow up ask questions later

Use Reynen's RL Gunboat.

It rcks, dude!
