btw, if you install freelancer to ANOTHER folder on your desktop - that's two copies - then you can point FLMM to the new folder and apply other mods, so you can chill in the underverse, hunt the cylons on bsg, etc, when things get a little 'bleurgh' on disco
DON'T DO THIS!!!
Unless you absolutely know what you are doing. I did it and after 2 days of expert help, I have finally got a single working copy of Freelancer back, although I have managed to loose all my characters in the process.
Coin you are EVIL, promising goodies but stealing my toys! Grinch!
(LOL, don't mean that my fault for not knowing what I was doing)
