With I War 2 the cargo ships had no defence atall, only escorts(who would put up a bit of a fight on there behalf), as far as i can gather freighters in FL can look after themselves.

Yep, you can pirate! You can either destroy transports totally and collect the loot, or shoot off the canisters that are visible underneat the transport, if you like being merciful. There are also several variations of pirating, like shooting our trade lanes and so on. The traffic is dynamic, in that ships are coming from someplace and going someplace, and you can also find out that information if you like, so you can scan your cargo, see what they're taking there and perhaps copy them and make some money.

Cant wait till march. Must have frelncer *rips his own skin off*

So you can actually see what other ships are transporting and get an idea of what's a good run? That's damn cool

Can you also follow a ship all the way from it's starting point to the destination? WIll it then land and take off again, going somewhere else?

Yes, Kahar. There are some transports which are even bigger that need to dock to a long narrow trading structure to transfer its cargo, so it doesnt need to land on the planet.

heya mechwarrior... dude, u play MW?

YUp, Im a big mechwarrior fan. I mostly play Mech 3, Pirates moon, Mech4, Blacknight, Mercenaries. But I occasionally play Mech 2 and Mech 2 mercs.

Haha... if I catch any of you pirating, my Navy mates and I will blast you!

Can you burn in Freelancer? Like burn the latest pro and fly to black market?
That's real piracy! Any idiot can blow up a ship or seed terror, but not burn a CD!
I want REAL Piracy, dammit!

ahh..i see, was just curious cos of ya name. I play MW4: Mercenaries myself, in the NBT-Mercs League. It's alotta fun.

I kinda wanna join NBT but I dont have the time. And I would be quite unreliable

If i destroy a pirate ship do i get a reward as i did in privateer2 .And if so how much. If i take out a bad ass pirate with a reputation do i get more money than say a a novice pirate. Or do you just get there cargo.
