    Yes, it is possible, but you have to take 2 bribes at once for absolute maximum rep.

    It should be possible at the Freeports in the edge world systems (5, 9 and 10 come to mind)

    Make sure the bartender has the bribe first, if not, launch and dock again.

    Once the bartender has the bribe, look for a second npc that has it.

    If not, go to the equipment dealer and back to the bar. All npcs except for the bartender may have changed.

    Repeat this until 2 npcs have the right bribe at the same time, then buy both.

    It's in the launcher, click the Cog in the bottom right Before launching there is a tick-box for Windoed

    I tried that already, the window was still borderless. Not what I need.

    If I uncheck it, it starts in fullscreen, and Alt+Enter switches it to borderless window.

    How do I get a window with a border? I need the ability to drag it around.


    By the way, I play with Vanilla FL shader in case that matters, but I tried Recommended too, to no avail.

    I can't find the option so I'll just ask here.

    I like to play in windowed mode with border so I can move the window.

    How do I do that, after the latest update? It will only go in borderless mode.


    I have always played Freelancer in 4:3 mode (1280*960), windowed, because I don't like how it looks in widescreen. Now, that doesn't work anymore for me.

    1. this is an english Forum so write english other Russians also do

    2. here are playing enough other Players from Russia without this Problem so find the Error

    I believe he doesn't speak english, and puts everything through a translator.


    TAYrus_2009 Even though I didn't see any screenshot proof, I assume you done messed up and Dom'Kavash are actually hostile to you.

    Last page, that post about going to Nomad sector and looking for weapons: Did you kill any Nomads AFTER killing the ancient drones in Dervon?

    That could explain it. You must not kill any Nomads after Dervon, especially not in Utopia in the asteroid field.

    Use Difficulty = 0 (godmode) to escape them if you have to. If you really want to use Nomad weapons, farm them BEFORE Dervon.

    But at that point in the story, you're supposed to have Coalition Gattlings. (when you visit Coalition HQ, during Crossfire chapter 5)

    A Titan with MK2 Codenames goes a long way in Sirius, it might even beat the Ancient drones, but it doesn't make the cut in Inner Core.

    At this point, you should just lower the difficulty or use godmode, or reload an old save and get a better ship.


    When you're in Altair, you should at least pick up a new ship (unless you already have something like an Iguana or Chimera)

    a class 9 Champion H. F. Shield and 4 coalition gattlings, and Yakutsk wreck loot missiles too if possible.

    You are allowed to dock on every base during this part (eg. buy a Saracen on Donezk station when you pass it),

    And you can even jump into Yakutsk to loot missiles. I did that too. You just won't be able to set waypoints.


    To those who like the Titan, stop reading here.

    I missed the name of your ship? Can't find a ship with those stats on the wiki.

    Also, against aliens, best loadout is 4x Coalition Gattling, 2 class 9 missiles (have a look around in Yakutsk) and no turret, because it throws off the aim of your gattlings.

    Do NOT use a battleship in the story.

    Just adding to this: the game does not require you to kill any of those aliens. Avoid a fight if you can.


    Get an Advanced Subspace Scanner, at this point in the game you should have the credits for that.

    When aliens show up on your radar, steer away from them, and kill your engines. (requires manual flight, does not work in Go To / Dock)

    If they hit you with a cruise disruptor, fly away from them full speed and do corkscrews so they miss you.

    When you are out of their weapons range, kill your engine and turn back towards them, so they back off , then try to cruise away from them.


    And even when there are no aliens on the radar, stay in Free Flight and do little corkscrews, they tend to spawn mostly in front of you.

    Also saves reaction time because you don't have to cancel the autopilot when aliens show up.


    Alternatively, set your difficulty to God mode, and drink coffee while it's on autopilot to the next system.

    I believe that has something to do with the HUD you chose in the mod install options. I'm not sure how to change that without reactivating / reinstalling the Crossfire mod.

    When I installed mine, I chose Vanilla FL because I was used to that look. It still works in widescreen mode.

    That Nomad city is actually one very long tunnel with a few curves. You can go into turret view and zoom out to see the outside.

    When flying through it, don't go too fast, there is no time limit. Don't fly into anything, because you might get turned around without noticing.

    When your waypoint updates, take note of the direction by going into turret view again and zooming out.


    Before you go, make sure you have a Medium Tractor Beam, and the best Scanner you can afford.

    Also, lowering your graphics details might give you better visibility because less fog.


    Waypoints come In this order:

    1. You will be entering at the top airlock. Fly to the reactor core, away from the airlock

    2. Fly back to the airlock to shoot the power relays.

    3. Fly away from the airlock, past the reactor core, all the way through the 180 degree bend.

    You will pass another reactor chamber before reaching the second set of power relays. You are now flying towards the airlocks.

    4. Destroy the second set of power relays, this will unlock the core in the first chamber. (the one furthest away from you)

    5. Collect the core. (see second screenshot) If you have at least a Medium Tractor beam, you don't have to fly back (realism be damned, but it's a game anyway)

    6. Fly to the bottom airlock and exit.
