Starting out in the world of Crossfire

    Greetings all. I have just downloaded the mod and it started working fine.


    It starts me off at the beginning of Trents story with meeting Junko and going into space to watch the battleship get blown up and then battle some baddies with that King guy.


    The enemy ships take so long to kill that I gave up. It wasnt a matter of skill, it was a matter of patience (probably a bit of skill actually as well). But shouldnt skill develop through out a game, not be required in the first outing?


    I tried to upgrade my weapons but as I am level 0 all I can get is the Justice MK2 and another MK2 shield buster one. It takes ages to kill one ship and I lose the will to live before I can get through them all. Is there a way to bypass the first mission with King so I can go and trade and get to a level where I can buy some decent stuff to be able to kill an enemy before my 70th birthday?

    Try to find wrecks and sell the loot from them. Most of my money and weapons were looted only from wrecks from my start of the game :)
    You can also try to sell escape pods in any prison station.

    This dream is a universe
    And every soul shines
    Where the darkness turns into light.
    I take you to fly with me
    And follow the way
    There will always be a new day!

    I am not a major player so I am sure I am not good enought for MP...............yet.


    The wrecks thing sound promising. So I can fly away from that first battle/mission and do my own thing with no problems?

    I am afraid you may not be able to skip the first mission before being allowed to move freely within New York system.


    After being disrupted on the trade line, you have to manage to kill at least the first wave to be able to jump to planet
    Pitsburg. Once there, you have some little extra money to purshase extra guns (I usually go for Lavablades as if having
    a decent accuracy, NPCs may not have time to recharge hull/shields).


    It may take some time at the start to kill them fast, but do not give up! Your skills will improve with practice and it will make it
    much more easy, when you can finally wander around, getting money and upgrade equipment (before mission 2 anyway hehe) ^^

    Install the mod and select "open single player" in order to move about freely. But please come to MP, I know you will have more fun, plus you will have actual players online to help you develop your skills.

    Thanks a lot for the advice and the welcome.


    I am not a total newcomer to Freelancer. I bought the game when it came out in 200? and completed it then. I went back to it a few years later and did it again. I am really looking forward to exploring a much expanded universe.


    Regarding the installation and selection of "open single player". Do I have to do a full unistall and reinstall? Or, do I deselect the mod in the mod-manager and then reload it?


    I am not bothered about missing the original freelancer missions but if I install the open single player game, do I also miss out out on the new CF missions / story?
