You mean that you are playing Freelancer, alright?

Good, then i would like to give you some tips:

*Begin with small mods, and then work yourself up, to big mods like TNG, The Next Generation. The Next Generations Homepage
*First, finish the SP campaign, then go on MP.
*Be nice to other people on MP, else you get banned.
*Do not use a mod on a server that doesn't support mods, because THAT'S CHEATING!!!
*Have fun

And welcome to the Lancersreactor!

Cheers for the tips Orillion

PS- of course i'm playing freelancer! EvE Online isnt as good

Good that you liked it

If you need any help, just drop me a line on [email protected].

Try the Game play Patch mod. It's great for people new to the game. A few tips for MP:

1. Don't expect to be fighting players in a kick-ass ship right away. It takes time.

2. Start trading. Trading pays off much better than missions. Do missions in your starflier until you have enough credits to get a freighter.

3. Join groups. That way you don't have to do missions alone, and you'll have someone to talk to on long trade runs.

4. Most importantly, HAVE FUN!

Happy freelancing!

Ohhh! Beu-tiful! Preeety! How do I blow it up?

Once you've been through the story line, explored the universe afterwards, tried all the ships up to the most powerful ... then go back and try the story line again in DIFFERENT types of ships. Try to do it in a low level ship with low level guns -- can be a challenge! Maybe even play it through in a freighter. There is a lot to be got out of the game without evening using the mods. Just my opinion, but I'd save the mods for later.

lol if only people would talk that way about EvE online here


this is my world; it goes round and round and round

I love the Bretonia Crusader, a heavy fighter, available on any battleship, throw a few Skyrails on there and your all set, this is the ship I usually use, I love it..

I'd use that too if it weren't for its low armor.

IMHO the crusader looks too fat for my taste. eagles all teh way !! <no, not a best ship thread.

as for newbie tips, you should figure out all the controls and set it to your preference. i'd advice not sticking 'cruise mode' as shift+z or whatever it was. change it to one key. it'll save you heckuva frustration later (coughracecough)

then, when you're exploring, it'd be wise to open nav map, go to 'patrols' its the one with the loopy arrows. then see where many of the routes converge. at that point, there is a suprise for you. a base? a jumphole? empty space? no one knows but you usually won't be disappointed.

trading is good at the start as it brings more revenue than guns do. but later on in the game, the cargo hold doesn't really mean much when you can carry an unlimited amount of firearms in god knows where but brings so much more cash.

last but not least, find out which faction you hate most, then when you finish the campaign, kick their sorry butts

btw did any1 know that the kraken type 2 and the prometheus have the same damage cept the prometheus takes more power,thnx for the tips ive finished the campaign using the equalizer 2 mod but not regularly yet, i recommend the equalizer 2 mod to newbs.

I've played it a fair amount this weekend and i've just been chased out of the liberty system to bretonia. Just changed my liberty forces heavry fighter to a piranna and now i'm whooping the molly's and the gaians asses....

I didnt think that i would like following the storyline as i like to do my own thing - but the story is quite addictive !

i hate all the bretonian ships cause they are all fat and ugly

The wolfy types like a cow

yeah they dont look too hot - especially that light frieghter - looks like it belongs in a starship trooper movie !! lol
