You can't capture planets, ships, or bases in FL.

You can take *systems* in MP Esq, you know...

Step 1 : The solo assault.

Okay, stand outside the planet and make faces at them. Yup, faces (to make faces press Alt-F4). It also helps to have contraband in your hold. Now, sit in front of the docking ring until a Liberty Police squad passes you. When they ask you to drop the contraband, spin and shoot them. Now, everything will go hostile, so dodge like there is no tommorow and take them all out. Be sure to take out the supply deposts, and tractor in the contents. Eventually, you will have to run, but don't worry, this is only step one.

Step 2 : Redemption

I'm guessing that your shields are down, and your hull is cracking by now, but don't worry, just fly into the badlands and go to Rochester base. The rogues will be friendly with you now, if thay ain't, go to West Point Military academy and shoot some more ships until you are neutral/green rep. Once at Rochester base, take some missions against Liberty until you are totally green with the rogues. Eventually (4-5 hours) later, you will get two rogue escourts folling you wherever you go, so start claiming your territory !. Firstly, go to W.P Military acadamy, and destroy ships appearing until you have it dead. Congrat's, you're on your way onto conquering liberty.

Step 3 : Retaliation

Now, gather 10 + mates, and head for Planet Manhatten. Once there, organize a surgical strike against the Police to take them all down. Once they are all down, move into the tradelanes, and camp in the middle of them, terrorising n00bs to give you their cargo. Organise the group so there are two people per middle of each tradelane, and start destroying anything that comes through them. Hold this for 1hr +, and then get your groups to camp the jumpgates, scaring innocent passers-by to give you their cargo, and use rochester as a re-supply point, and cover your groups as they move back and forth through them. Now, hold n00bs hostage for a cash fee from their mates, and charge a jump-gate toll to get through the gates.

There you go.
Now go, and become ruler of liberty in MP !

That's interesting, Neo_Kuja, but what do you mean with "making faces"? If you press Alt+F4 you will exit the program...

It's a shame Rochester Base Isnt in the BAdlands, though.. lol

Yes well, the Alt-F4 thing was meant to be a joke, I didn't think anyone would do it, but anyway ..........

And yes, I know Rochester Base ain't in the badlands, It's Buffalo Base, sorry, my bad.

Ya know, Neo, I can't even consider this a spoiler because the idea so insane that if people want to try it, all power to them. I won't lock because crazy ideas really can't be considered spoilers.
