Where can I do the best missions?

You can do high-level missions (up to 265'000 Credits per mission) on the following bases:

Base System
Station Java Tau 23
Planet Malta Omicron Alpha
Ruiz Base Omicron Beta
Tripoli Shipyard Omicron Gamma
Freeport 9 Omicron Theta
Battleship Hood Dublin
Planet Kreta Omicron Gamma
Leon Base Omega 41

Where can I get the Train?

Omicron Lambda at the Sinai Shipyard. There two tow ways to get there:

  • Omicron Alpha -> Unknown Alpha -> Omicron Beta 2 -> Omicron Lambda
  • Omicron Gamma -> Unknown Gamma -> Omicron Major -> Omicron Major 2 -> Omicron Lambda

These routes lead through pirate and nomad systems and are therefore very dangerous. It's advisable to hire an escort, because you might not make it otherwise.

Where can I get the Liberty Cruiser?

Omicron Major 2 at Planet Alexandria. There are two ways to get there:

  • Omicron Alpha -> Unknown Alpha -> Omicron Beta 2 -> Omicron Minor/Lambda -> Omicron Major
  • Omicron Gamma -> Unknown Gamma -> Omicron Major -> Omicron Major 2

These routes lead through pirate and nomad systems and are therefore very dangerous. It's advisable to hire an escort, because you might not make it otherwise.

How can I get Nomad weapons?

The easier possibility is to buy them from a weapon dealer at Manhattan. Just ask in the universe chat. A cannon should cost 170k to 220k credits, a blaster shouldn't cost more than 250k credits, everything above is usury.
Alternatively you can hunt the weapons yourself, but remember that you need a certain amount of skill. At the beginning you should hunt in groups (2 or 3 players) in Omicron Major 2 or Unbekannt Gamma

Which is the best fighter?

If you're looking to focus on fighting in Freelancer, the best ship to look at is probably the Eagle. It offers four Class 10 weapon slots plus an additional two Class 9 slots and can carry Class 10 Elite shields, while still offering good maneuverability. The downsides are that the turret can't fire straight ahead, making it effectively useless, and the relatively low armor value.

Heavier alternatives are the Sabre and the Titan, which have a significantly lower turn rate and are therefore easy prey for a skilled Eagle pilot. More creative pilots may want to try the Dragon or Drake, which can dodge shots from heavier ships very well but have to rely on missiles for hull damage. On HHC the Seth and the Blood Dragon are also viable alternatives.

A good starting layout might look as follows:

Some possible changes are: One Lancer Missile and Wasp instead of a Tizona del Cid and Starkiller Torpedo; One Salamanca Mk II instead of a Tizona del Cid.

Which is the best transport?

On HHC there are many transports with different advantages and disadvantages:

Name Cargo Price Turn Speed Equipment
Humpback 250 170.941 0.43 °/s Weapons + Shield + Thruster + Countermeasures
Dromedary 275 62.821 0.90 °/s Weapons + Shield + Thruster + Countermeasures
CSV 300 453.011 0.80 °/s Weapons + Shield + Thruster + Countermeasures
Armored Transport 340 326.401 0.64 °/s Weapons + Thruster + Countermeasures
Transport 400 560.401 0.25 °/s Weapons + Countermeasures
Train 450 790.201 0.21 °/s Nothing

Try, which one suits you best.
