new to this game
Hello! I have just discovered Freelancer and I love it! Currently I'm halfway through the Single Player campaign, in New Tokyo flying a Barracuda loaded with expensive ordnance, I've only got 60,000 or so in the bank so I'm going to swap my fighter for a Drone and run (spoiler) from New Tokyo to (spoiler) for a while to build up maybe 300,000 before I start Mission 8. I also might run some missions for the Hogosha to polish my rep a little before trading. I couldn't believe some of the reviews of this game, that said you could "beat it" in 12 hours. I took longer than that just admiring the scenery around Manhattan and hailing the passing fleets. Why would you want to "beat it" anyway? After I finish SP I'd like to learn some editing skills so I could work on rebalancing the game to make it just the way I want it. I can tell I'll have to do a lot of studying to have any hope of catching up with the editing community here!
