    Perhaps make your way to bretonia to start with Clydesdale, a bit better to move around, better placed weaponry (imo).


    When you have enough money - try to make it for an APC ! In Nephele, if I remember correctly, but I'm not sure.


    Not much bigger than a Defender-HF, still much more maneuvrable than a rhino OR Clydesdale, BIG and very well placed GUNS, and despite its smallness a corgohold more than 5-times the rhino.
    I think in freighter-class the nbiggest crgo hold, next would be small train. (Please correct me, if I'm wrong.)

  • If you have starting money (10M), get an APC. It should pay itself out in about an hour doing legal trade from Crossfire to either Sidewinder, or Manhattan. Or West Point - Manhattan.

    There are many different kinds of freighters and many different ways to play Freelancer. Your choice is highly individual. Asking what kind of freighter to buy (without further information) is a little like asking what you should study in school. Only you can make the final decision, and the factors involved are complex and personal.


    That said, the advice about the APC Armored Transport is excellent. The APC is one of my favorite "general purpose" ships in the game. It can take a beating or dish one out, and it has a huge hold for a multi-function ship.


    Another general purpose ship worth considering is the Bullpup Mk3 "Assault Freighter".


    Choosing between the two:



    Suggestion: Earn a lot of credits and try both. Either would be a fine starting point.


    The Dromedary is one of my favorite ships in vanilla Freelancer, as well. Rhino and Clydesdale are good early in the game but, for your second character, you will probably want more.

    There are 10 kinds of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who do not.
