Anyways, the Corsairs and the Outcasts have entire planets at their disposal. Look at our own planet... We havn't run out of resources yet (although if nothing changes, that might not be true for long)!
Take a look at all the junk floating about in space as well. The debries field around Main and Pittsburg is a good example of what i'm talking about. All that scrap, and all the Junkers have to do is tow it around to whoever needs it. Those fields, you could probobly make at least a hundred battleships (Rhinland ones, no less) from one of those alone! There are plenty of resources in the Freelancer universe.
This is the real true story of rock and roll; it was not about anything more then, how to live your life, as a gangster, in sartorial splendor, and turning the world into a place where normality would never return again...- Malcolm McLaren
