Actually, trade lanes make ships travel at superluminal speed, according to the info on it, how this is possible, don't ask me.
I actually wonder how a ship would look like when it's travelling at the speed of light, or faster, that is, if the human eye was able to see things that fast.
Another hole in Freelancer lore if you ask me
Put aside the advanced technology and 1000 years the Human race in freelancer are a bunch of savages. I mean, it's casual to kill someone in space and it happens hundreds of times every day all over sirius.

No more savage that modern soldiers are.
Also I'd assume that TLs protect ships from the effects of time slowing, so time passes as it should inside of the TL.

It's not an "effect" that can be "protected" against. It is the simple fact that the faster you travel, the slower time passes from your point of view. So, if you traveled "at" the speed of light for, say, a year, to a "stationary" observer at your start-/end-point, much more time has passed, possibly up to several years, or even tens of years.
Now consider how long it takes to get from one side of Sirius to the other (several months, I believe (game-time, not real-time)), and imagine how many times a long haul engine component shipper may do that run, or a Bounty Hunter chasing targets from one side of the Omegas to the other...
Well Human genes don't allow much more than 120 years of age, after that you simply run out of cells to divide and regenerate your body... Brain is one part of the body that survives quite well but yet again to about 125 or so. With genetic engineering, nannotechnology, stuff Sirius mankind probably has, unlimited lifespann might be an option. So probably 50-150 for the poor, and 200 for the rich...

Oh and, a little idea comes to mind, caught from a sci fi book series I read a while ago.
Anyways, some rather wealthy and lacking in morals people just got themselves cloned, and then replaced the brain of the matured clone in his 20s with their own.
You get the idea, perhaps it can be used in some RP of a character that's not really a goodie..

Doesn't work. The brain ages too. What you would get here is an aging, degenerating brain in a young, strong, healthy body - which could get quite unhealthy to bystanders, I'd guess...
In my opinion anyway, the speeds/distances in freelancer are a litttle off.... But per say, If you flew around cruising all day wouldn't you live alot longer than if you would stay at home and rot?
