HI, Is it Possible. Or am i nuts.

Hi I just signed up to the star port.(Very Cool) Sight.

I had been playing freelancer for probably a year AFTER winning the GAME searching every section looking for the next step to advance to the next level and open up all the new possibilities that the game seemed to promise -Fed up I went Online with full Intention of cheating me up a solution. NOT relizing that i had already won the game.and that orillian was a big fat liar.
my searching eventually led me to the modders (this was probably three years ago and this sight may have been going through a change to star port. not sure) That was awile ago. But it was U the modding community that gave me the answer i needed.

I was both disappointed and Thrilled. Freelancer is beyond Cool
Despite the fact that the game was released unfinished.

I had hope that now some really cool people Had The ability to finish the game or increase its potential beyond what could be expected.

I downloaded mods as fast as you built them hoping that the next one combined with that one would give me what I believed to be how the game should be. sadly the combination was never right.

individually the mods where more than I could have imagined Adv-beam Gundam missles (Sweet) 7-up mod and all the others that have since been molded into a standard.

I attempted back then to modify the game myself wishing I had the braines to make freelancer what I expected it to be.
I Failed miserably.

Eventually life Or Rather 14-to-20 hr work days took me away from my obsession with freelancer all together.

About a month or so ago I poked my head into the star port and was amazed at the changes in mods.

DRIZZT: when I saw your tutorial I was nearly thrown out of my shoes. could I dare hope that I as in me. Really get a Ship into freelancer. I DARE HOPE.

Whether or not i got the brains or not your tutorial along with reading the modders chatter I Hope to this time succeed. I REGISTERED IN THE HOPE THAT I CAN GET ADVISE ON MY JOURNEY.

I Started writing a book nearly 17 years ago (ouch) and have worked on it hit and miss Mostly miss through the years. not so concerned with finishing the book I Know the Story and how it ends BUT the ships for the book on the other hand HOW COOL TO FLY THEM IN FREELANCER.

I created the ships as tools for inspiration to the story I drew them up on both paper and in the computer have seen them fly in my head any number of times and have always since finding freelancer all those years ago wanted to see them truly in action. They are probably why freelancer is to me so Danged cool …then again maybe not freelancer is just so Dang Cool its hard to say so many avenues and possibilities.

SO AS TO NOT BORE THE COOL PEOPLE THAT I NEED ADVISE FROM I’LL GET TO THE POINT.

As i played the game certain things stuck out to me as not right and the modding community made a great many of those things right. with my limited abilities i might be able to get a ship in the game but I want to go further than that.
While I don’t believe I personaly can I Know that it’s possible with what iv’e seen. I’m bound and determined to try regardless of my abillities.

1: I want to get my ships in the game (baby steps) alot of work To be sure. I just purchased milk shape and I downloaded a lot of tools I went through the tutorial and managed to get PicToPic and Gmax but the other links lead to lancer reactor the old page or dead links
Q: how can I get the tools exporters importers converters Ect…that I need. And what are the new Updated Programs tools Ect…I need.

2: Not remembering names of mods or modders i remember a Talk about a garage or somthing but the general discussion had something to do with having ships at your disposal without having to sell your ship to fly another.
Q: Is this yet possible.

I think I once saw somthing about a flyable base.
Q: is this True

My hope is to make a mother ship always friendly to me that I can dock on and fly. that is to say i can peeve off the wrong faction and still repair my fighter,frieghter Ect… and move it through the systems. I was hoping to be able to buy ships through out the game and sell them on my ship and once sold on my ship they are free to buy preferably with the same set up I sold them with. same with weapons.

Q:The info card set up and limited 3 ship purchase per dealer
problem. Is it possible to create within a Single structure(ship, flyable base,Battle cruiser Ect…) multiple dealers say a spot from Different factions dealers in one structure.

Example buy a frieghter from britonian space sell within ship to named dealer what ever that may be of that faction. buy a fighter Say Drake and sell in ship to Kusari dealer. buy heavy fighter Anubis or Titan And sell to within ship to proper faction dealer.
possibly only bieng able to hold one ship per faction but at least Always having a ship to fly for purpose you need it for without buying a thousand frieghters and fighters through out the game just to make enough money to buy another ship.

I want a place to go that I can Sell Loot without Actually selling them but store them to get later on or sell later on weapons,Diomonds Ect… Sell Make no money -buy use no money
Reason Safe haven to get or repair looted weapons that got blown off my ship, Small cargo bay long journey, looted those who would have me dead. burn baby Ha Ha WHAT what do you mean cargo bay full tractor fail my a@*
fine be that way my base is only a trade lane away. Be right back dear cargo with plenty of room for u. Oh hey theres tokyo Let’s sell off these diamonds while I’m in the area.
Q:Could this be pulled off.

These are some of the things I’m trying to accomplish and would like to know if I’m Totally off my rocker for even thinking it possible.

Some other things I was expecting to see in the game

1 If you read history on weapons they talk about I believe the cannon missle was designed for mining don’t know why I thought it but when I bought them I Immediately wasted a pay load on one of them beauitifully huge rocks floating in space thinking to make me a base of my own

2 I Thought I might be able to hire Certain factions for job’s like say build me a base. And I believed Orillian about the Anubis. and at the end of the game I believed I would see him again.

Silly I know Just saying.

If Any managed to endure reading this i’m sorry for boring you But THANK YOU GREATLY

I Would love feedback if Possible to Know if any or all of my thoughts are possible for me to accomplish. Or for that matter anyone to accomplish let alone Be interested in.
