Thanks for the help. So the solution we found was that we had to apply the patch from Microsoft bringing it up to v 1.1. Without the patch, it won't generate the multiplayer ID. Seems like a big thing to leave out of the first release.

We will try using Zero. Not sure if he did that yet. Good idea.

Also, it is a used full copy of Freelancer. I bought it off ebay for him. I'm assuming the authentication of the multiplayer ID is local as MS doesn't support the game, I wouldn't think that there is a server somewhere that may have ...

I have a friend that just got Freelancer. He has installed it and he got the mod manager and the mod for the void. When he goes to play multiplayer, it asks for a multiplayer id. He wrote down the one that showed up when he installed it, but it says its an invalid number.

How can I get him setup to ...

Any other ideas on how to get the full use of my cargo space?

Very nice!

I dumped the thrusters, no change.

Ah, OK. Thanks for the tip!

I just got an armored transport ship. I was a bit disappointed to find that I couldn't use all of my cargo space. It shows 1140 out of 1540 available, and I don't have anything in there. Is this a bug or does carrying turrets count against the cargo space.

I feel like when you buy a new hard drive ...

I'm new. I am currently unemployed, except for being a house husband, but spend a fair amount of time gaming.

I haven't experienced any VOID server events, so I don't know what they are. However, I'd like to play the game more with other real people. I wouldn't mind helping out. I'm just not very ...

I dabbled with this last summer, but wound up losing interest as my regular gaming buddy doesn't have this game. I thought I'd try playing again. I was surprised to read on the forums about the shake up that happened.

I played a couple of days last week and enjoyed it. I got to interact with some ...

Thanks for the info

So then I take it that syndicate and Black Legion are rogue clans. My char is unaffiliated and I just use him to trade to try to make some money so I can buy a ship that I can dogfight with someday.

One time I was killed while docking with a planet. I was about to be brought in ...

So I'm curious how this works. Twice today I was attacked unprovoked by other players. My char has never engaged any others, he just trades, so I don't see how he is an enemy. How am I supposed to know if I'm going to be attacked by some random person or of they are just going to wave as I go by ...

Wow, well thank you so very much to who ever it was that was so generous as to give me some credits to get me on my way. I used them to buy a bigger cargo ship so I can make credits for my characters and buy bigger and better stuff.

So I need to finish the solo game I guess then. I tried and the ...

Just discovered the multiplayer universe of Freelancer. Never finished the original campaign, but thought this would be a more fun place to spend my time than in single player.

I was a big fan of Wing Commander back in the day. Once I got WC Privateer I really liked it and from there ...
