I ban Michael because we just took down a mothership fleet with 4 fighters

I ban GeG because yes I got some fighters in IC ready too

I ban Ajay because my dreadnought is hungry for dooms

In singleplayer, it may be better to stick to fighters and freighters, trains work better when used in cooperation with other players. Also, some bases later on in story can only be docked by fighters and freighters.
My favourite ships in single player are APC freighter, Bullpup Mk III freighter or Deathblade VHF (both are great for podding) -

Most dockable locations for trains are large bases and some planets in vanilla FL systems, and the large bases around the X systems.
there are only 2 dockable places for trains outside of Sirius sector: -
before installing anything, make sure your AV leaves the following stuff alone by adding exceptions to system scanner
-program files location where Freelancer is installed (something like "C:/Program Files/Microsoft Games")
-crossfire setup exe file
-freelancer mod manager folder (before you copy crossfire mod into "/mods" folder)
-"Documents/My Games/Freelancer"
-anything you can find which has something to do with Freelancerafter that, check your quarantaine for freelancer related files
edit: you can also try turning User Account Control completely off before running Crossfire Setup. (was needed in my case)
Sometimes running setup with administrator rights doesn't work. -

if it is limited as ammunition is, then we will have problems to get them from IC to Sirius and have to increase the traffic.
All you need to do is jump into Venn, collect 50 crystals and try to kill the biggest mothership you can find
by the way, I only ever use cloak in IC to get away from aliens. In RP, I'm usually dead before it is activated. -
I ban Michael to come back in this thread

today's tour: Nomads Lair, X-3043, Omicron Alpha, Tau-37, Tau-23, Tau-31, Leeds, Dublin, Hyperion, Sol, Styx, Mandar, Gurm, Sovetskaya, Vorkuta, Meschhed
I waited until 12:00, then used /jointour and jumped into Nomads Lair system
Nomads Lair and X-3043 didn't register.
by the way, this one was perfectly doable in fighter (52 minutes,with a CTD in between in Sovetskaya system) -
I used /jointour in omicron alpha, before jumping to X-3043 (and it said I was succesfully registered)
I didn't get reward for X-3043. then I jumped back to alpha and got a reward for that.
I jumped back to X-3043 to see if I'd get a reward (I didn't) and then continued from omicron alpha.
all systems tagged succesfully after that
from my past experiences, registrations fail in story related systems and in X-3043. maybe it has something to do with different versions of these systems? -

you will remain level 17 until after the end of Crossfire campaign but don't worry about that. You can buy equipment and ships regardless of your level.
You will get a few breaks during the campaign (which can be used to do a hidden bonus mission) at 2 points in the campaign, you can decline a mission and come back there later to pick up the story again (same as mission 10, which you receive right after 9 (without level up) but with option to decline) -
welcome back mate

... then Stinger and Elder as well as Junis Defender - even tough listed in wiki under medium/heavy fighters - wouldn't be allowed for this TDM, since these are capable of class 10 guns ?
(btw: ever tried firing class 10 guns on Junis Defender for longer than a sec even with power upgrade ?
. 
)
more because of shields than guns. a class 10 shield alone on a HF is a big difference. About guns, if you install a power generator mk V you will have the same firepower as with a normal VHF -
I didn't fly any of these except barracuda, stiletto and Anubis.
based on armor, shield and weapon class:Display Morehmmm, how would you then classify
Barracuda HF because only class 6
Stiletto HF because only class 7
Exocet HF. only 2 guns class 9, other 2 are cass 8. Shield is also class 8
Vigilant HF based on weapon class: 3 class 7 guns, 3 class 8 guns, class 8 shield
Anubis HF because only class 6, is only to be considered a VHF in its own class and for the Nomad campaign (missions 11-13)
Bowin class 10 shield qualifies it as VHF, and all 4 guns and turret are class 9
Stinger VHF because class 10 shield and guns
regarding the TDM-series ?
I think it's safe to say that class 10 shield means it's a VHF
maybe even class 9 because of Champion H. F. Shield
