Only factions can buy guard *systems* (probably representing the costs of colonization, development and in some cases administration) which can (very rarely) contain planets, but not just planets.
We could RP the buying of a planet thought right? Say if Liberty authorities tired of owning Manhatten...
or Pittsburgh, I could "buy" it for a substantial fee right?

The only way to acquire a planet would be by conquering or colonizing it, really. Freelancer's scale just isn't large enough to support the idea of whole planets being sold.
Maby it's my egotisticle side but I really like the idea of 'owning a planet'
Baron von Soong. Nice ring to it.
But seriously...if I owned a planet I could charge a docking fee. Say for some planet like Denver.
Or I could refuse certain factions entry.
Heck you could even have a unique item that grants the carrier the right of ownership to XX planet(s). That would get the pvp whores going.
"look! I own 7 planets!!! I pwned the previous owners!"
Say for example each privately owned planet would be 'sovreignly' owned and have a 2km radius of ownership.
Most of the time the planets would act in the space they are in
like in liberty you follow liberty laws and such.

I don't think I could stand if certain players got their own planets.
