Help me see the light, don't see the 'fun' in this game

Green melon is good.

Yellow melon is better.

Freelancer discovery doesn't work in the same linear direction games like WoW do, "end-game" is not an issue. If you are desperate to have a battleship, then go for it. A battleship however, does not equal end-game viability. If you want a WoW equivalent, it is a destruction specced imp-sacrificing warlock with permanent hamstring but bosslevel hp. Just like a boss, people will take you down. Over and over again. You sacrifice a lot to have that firepower, armour and size.

The best way to make trading interesting is, as mentioned above, to RP your trader. An ALG plutonium hauler making top dollar but with a significantly increased mortality and a wife who isn't happy with his retirement plan, a smuggler that is borderline autistic, three sisters in business together running synthetic marijuana and one of whom that samples the product to the contempt of the others. Just because your trader is in a playerfaction does not automatically give it gold-plated RP.

Alt-tab less, system chat more.

mini-Edit: Productivity hint; don't go through Liberty and keep an eye on where players are in the chat board. If you see OPG in Leeds, don't go to ~:@:@@~:PP@:KN.

Okay, I won't give you that much help. Ivan would murder me.
