A good friend of mine, who happens to hate every game I love, had lots of bad things to say about the Freelancer demo. One of them was that he got destroyed by attacking Rogues right after take-off from Manhatten in his Rhino.

I decided to prove him wrong and traded in my well used Patriot for a Rhino and equipped her with Class 2 shields, some Drail and Sunpulses in the front, and all the turrets the ship can carry.

My first tangle was with 6 Rogues in the debris fields. I went into Turret mode and had no problems with any of them. I actually think I took them out faster that way than I would have in my Patriot.

Freighters, if outfitted and flown well, are VERY formidable ships in battle. Now if only they weren't so ugly. *sigh* I miss my Galaxy from Privateer.

i found the best route was light arms from the military base to the east of manhatten to battleship missouri and then h-fuel from the battleship to the military base.
Could only fo the route about 5 tiems before the demo cut me off for having too much money.

Hehe Wyldkat, I was gonna ask where you got the drails and stuff from. I guess you have the beta. Lucky SOB

Hmm silveralex, I'll give it a try. If you're very short on cash, Manhattan->Fort Bush->Pittsburgh (non-stop from planet Manhattan to planet Pittsburgh carrying water) is a very nice run that doubles your cash. Then Boron from Pittsburgh back to Manhattan gives a profit of 24$ per unit.

You can get Drails by salvaging them from killed rogue bloodhounds (maybe you need to kill em in a random mission for being equipped like that).

Liberty System
take manhattan to fort bush.. fort bush to Nolfork shipyard, Dock at the Battleship Missouri. BUY H-Fuel for 336 . go through jump gate to westpoint academy and sell H-Fuel for 389 profit of 53. best ive found in the system yet.

You can't equip the drails without being level 2

the Drails on bloodhounds are class 3 wepaons so you can install them on the demo ships.

@666Heretic I look foward to seeing you in my sabre and humbling you a bit....

Move to Texas system buy arms (250) from planet housten then sell to bering system freeeport 2 for (490). Then buy fuel (300) and sell back in housten for (408) you'll soon have the 250cargo carrier (170k)which is sold in hamburg next system along from freeport and then you'll rake in the money. Be sure to spend the extra 60k on the class 7 sheild in freeport once u have the 250cargo ship as then no problem when enemy attacks u can survive easy.
