Hello, I am a player who played freelancer in 2004, beat it single player and loved it. Then me and my friends moved on to WoW,CSS...newer games. My friends and I decided to play freelancer again, and after reading these forums for a few hours, quite frankly i cannot wait to get started. My friend and I are going to either pirate (which is robbing freighters right?) or smuggle, either way something illegal. We both relish combat and love to fight, but are going to involve ourselves in the RP side as well. I am here looking for guidance and or answers to various questions.
1.Although it may seem trivial, because of our WoW heritage we always like to aspire to become the most powerful;essintially, what are some of the best ships around in the different classes, and what is a bomber?
2.Considering we will ALWAYS be playing together, and hopefully with friends we make playing this game, what are some factions or what I have gathered reading (clans) or whatever the smaller more defined groups are called. Which of these groups will fit our illegal,robbing, fighting style of play.
3.Although it will be hard being attacked at the early stages, what is the best way for me to acquire one of the ships you hopefully listed above, and how fast can me and my friend do so?
Thanks very much for your help everyone!
