Being a pirate?

[Tachyon]

Freelancer IFF is totally okay and actually intelligent ( note the above ) as an independent pirate.

Also, as a sidenote, it might be helpful, though not necessary, to join a pirate group or faction. In most cases they will show you how stuff is done as a pirate and take you through the basics.

You can do so if you want, but if not it's totally okay learning yourself; the game is called 'discovery' for a reason.

oh, and good luck !
