Thanks for the tips MartinD. I guess I should be looking for those wrecks then. I already made one run to Texas to sell some prisoners, I almost got blown to pieces but I managed to escape with a lot of money. Sounds like I really need those lvl 10 guns first now

I've been searching everywhere, and there doesn't seem to be some kind of strategy guide for Crossfire. Although I love this mod, I've got the same problem every other noob starts whining about The difficulty man. I didn't even start mission 3 yet, and I'm already finding it difficult to survive some situations.
So I've got a couple of questions:
1. I'm flying a defender at the moment. Would this ship be good enough to take on mission 3 and the following ones? If not, where can I find a ship better suited for the missions ahead?
2. I read a lot of people saying how it would help to explore a lot before starting mission 3. Are the guns you can find on wrecks really that good? Should I pick up those first?
3. What would be a good balance for weaponry? I'm having difficulty trying to figure out which 'blend' of guns fits my ship. The firing rate of my guns should be close of course, but I also need
some guns that deliver hull damage. Anybody got a nice weapon mix that would work well for the first couple of missions?
4. Do you normally play in free-flight mode? I mean the one with the realistic physics (don't know what it's called exactly)?
5. Did I overlook some kind of starters-guide to crossfire gameplay?
6. Any other tips for the first stages of the game?

Thanks a lot! (And thanks for this great mod which I hope I'll master eventually)
