Several questions!

Hi everyone. I saw a few ads about Freelancer in magazines and was looking forward to it a bit- I love space and RPGs. So when the demo became available I jumped on it- and love it. I have a few question about how I can do the following..

1)Being a "pirate". Can I assault trade convos if I want, and not be doomed by constant attacks by police..?

2)Stopping trade lanes. The pirates have done this several times to me.. how can I do this?

3)Trading. I have a Rhino right now, and want to put it to good use- where do I go to trade things?

4)Power. I suppose I could find this out in game but why not here... Where can I buy upgrades to my power supply? My rhino eats up power very fast, often leaving my dry in fights with more than 2 opponents.

5)Why can't I play the retail version legally !!!!! Ahhhh! (Okay not really a question there )

Anyway, like I said I'm hooked. This is like Morrowind in space.. which is a realyl good thing

Prolly depends where u attack em

2)Stopping trade lanes. The pirates have done this several times to me.. how can I do this?

3)Trading. I have a Rhino right now, and want to put it to good use- where do I go to trade things?

bases

4)Power. I suppose I could find this out in game but why not here... Where can I buy upgrades to my power supply? My rhino eats up power very fast, often leaving my dry in fights with more than 2 opponents.

To answer a few of your questions:

1) The police will eventually attack you on site when your reputation with them gets bad enough. If they are still neutral towards you, they shouldn't attack unless you do first. Bounty hunters, however, might.

2) If you attack the trade route rings, it should shut down that portion of the trade route for a short time. Don't do it where police are present.

3) To trade, just go to the commodity dealers on the bases and planets. It is the symbol of the stack of bars located at the top of the screen. Selecting a commodity in the list that they have for sale will give you information about the commodity, and give a list of locations and the price that it they are currently buying for.

4)I havn't played the demo long enough, but I think it is the ship that controls how much power you have. If you are draining to much power, you are probably firing too many weapons at once, or the guns you are using are drawing too much power. Try going to a gun that uses less power.

hope this helps you a little.
