ok so i pulled out my old couple of freelancer discs, blew off the dust, so me and a friend could play...(he never played it before)...so we are probably going to do MP, but just play on our own LAN server.

ive always thought the 100% death penalty in FL was a bit high. especially if your doing cargo running, one bad trip and you could lose SOOOOO much time and effort. youd think cargo merchants would have insurance of some sort!

i (think) i remember changing it before. in the game folders there is a freelancer.ini with a death_penalty 100 line in it. i set it to 10 instead of 100 and tried to play, but it doesnt seem to be different. its still 100% loss.

am i doing something wrong? id like the loss to be around 30-50% i just dont know how to change it right.
