It is darn near impossible for someone to easily get into this game without mining helium or getting money from someone else. Why? Because you start in a starflier. I think you should start in a startracker.

And your point (besides the one on top of your head) is?

Back in 4.84, I started in a starflier. No one gave me any money. I went up to Colorado and did some mining. Then I did a few missions, and saved up a bit more money. Did some intelligent trading and moving up with ships. Within 1 month of starting, I was flying a Firefly - all on my own.

Since then - and without power trading - I've bought a BUNCH of ships, and helped pay for official status on a faction, a system purchase, and system modifications. The key thing is - once you get enough money, don't piddle around with in between trading ships. Find what you want, and then go with it.

Oh, and that first character of mine is still around, too. He just traded his Orca in for a Border Worlds Transport, and is still making nice runs around Sirius, exploring and enjoying who he finds. (Well, except for the Outcast npc's - they don't like him.)

Flea stays as it is. That is Final

Why change stuff which doesnt need to be changed and just creates more work for the mods and admins?

It has worked since FL started!!!

The flea is the ultimate ship i love it. All i want is for us to get a mk II version like the Libby is to the patriot.

Flea with 3 class 9 mounts anyone?

Let say it like this, the Flea is the classic and iconic ship of Freelancer. I think that with the Sabre and the Eagle, its one of the firsts ship you think about when someone talks about freelancer.

But yes, a MKII flea would be nice.

Names for the MkII?

Starburner?
Starlancer?
Starnova?

Ideas people!

EDIT: I kind of like Starlancer, a tribute to the prequel to this game

You ask me why Im weary, why I cant speak to you.
You blame me for my silence, say Its time I changed and grew.
But the war's still going on dear, and theres no end that I know...
And I cant say if were ever...
I cant say if were ever gonna be free.

They don't need a buff. Any more and it just might drive some of the players off the server.;)

I say this only because a couple of days ago three LPI, and an independent capital all ganged up on my Starflea out of pure terror of its uberness.

In all seriousness, keep them as they are. They are a lot of fun to fly, especially in the more dangerous systems. Can't just target and F2.
