What do you do with your Freelancer chars?

[swift]

So..

I have finally decided to make a *gasp* Freelancer ID and tag character.
As this is a time consuming effort, I want to know how worth it it really is?
What's all you can do with your Freelancer character? And please don't say freelance. I mean what do you do to seek out fun with it?

And along the way, please say how to get the FL tag. From what I realize, it involves something with BH and Zoner reps..

And with this one, I even think I'll start out with some crappy ship, and work my way up the ladder. I've decided that I won't support this character with my trader, the character will support and upgrade itself with it's own hard earned money, for RP sake.

So tell me your opinions? And help me get that darn tag, and please post the instructions only if you did it that way and it worked, so I don't lose my time for nothing.
