Few questions...

[Unseelie]

Having spent 4 years away from Freelancer and not finding a game like it (have tried Eve Online but got bored), I'm getting back into it again :)

Just started last night and I have a few questions:

1) If I'm mining and someone comes along and tractors my precious minerals, where do I stand?
2) Once I hit 40 I know I have to get rid of my Civilian ID and join a faction... say for example I wanna join BMM, do I just have to go to one of their bases and by the ID?
3) Is there a list of ships available? I currently have a freighter and have no idea where to go next to upgrade it's puny 260odd cargo space
4) This isn't a question, but it's good to be back playing Freelancer and am excited about exploring new systems.

See you all in space :D

1: you've been pirated, and since its not a combat engagement, they don't have to say anything. Its polite if they rp with you, though. Magoo suggested guards, I'd suggest compensating them.
2:BMM indie, yes. Playerfaction(Important: this is not a clan), you'll have to talk with them. I don't think they have a thread yet. The leader's skype is: husher1981
3: For BMM, I'd suggest the Clydesdale, costs about 3 million, is available on Planet Leeds, about twice the cargo. I don't know where any complete list is. Since the update to 85, the ones I did know of are inaccurate.
4: welcome. Skype is a great way to get in touch with other peeps in the community.
