What do you do with your Freelancer chars?

[jammi]

Well, I made my first Freelancer character a few days ago called Paul.Harrison who's tagged and IDed as Freelancer. I generally use him as a space tourist although I'll escort traders for a small fee if they're heading in the direction in which I want to go.

Freelancers are fun to play because you can do quite literally anything. You can't write down the things a Freelancer should do because they are independence embodied and thus can do just about anything you can imagine.

Paul flys an IMG GB (place holder for the Zoner/Civi GB), with six crew members and a loadout of five Basic Gunboat Turrets and one Basic Missile Turret. So far I've got most of Rhienlands lawful areas mapped, a little bit of Liberty and Kusari and a chunk of the Sigmas. Once I've cleared them I plan on exploring somewhere else.


Oh, and to get my tag, I got Zoner bribes then flew out to the Zoner guard system and blew up the guard Storage Depots outside Lividia Shipyard then running away. You only have to kill guard ships if you're impatient.

If you blow up every single one of the depots, the normal Zoner faction will be about one or two points from hostility, so you'll still be able to dock on Freeport 9. If you get a bribe Freelancer rep will take a -massive- jump. It took me about five repeats to get the IFF (and a trek to Liberty to lose a Police tag I accidentally picked up:dry:) over a period of two days.

Generally I'd blow the depots about an hour before server maintenance, then get them straight after as well. On the fifth time the server crashed, so I got them again after it started up again.
