I've been playing Freelancer since it was released but only came to Discovery a few months ago.

I only found the Freelancer Shots folder in My Pictures last week, I had been pasting each screen grab individually into Paint. I did wonder how people managed to do multiple grabs mid battle...

- How to use mines effectively. I never bought mine droppers for my snubs.

That is still my tactic with mines. Just not mounted.... I never got it.

When .85 still was there and NPCs still had their CDs it took a while for me to notice, that it's possible to avoid the CD from them when EKing while on cruise speed. So I was able to pass them easily without being CDed.:D
Took a while.

And now for something, not so different about lanes.

Because we spend most of our time shooting or running through the lanes, maybe no one noticed this.

For example. Look at the trade lane when you un dock from Bonn the lane in front of you will say:

Bonn Station -> Dortmund Station

Go to the other side of the same lane you're looking at and it changes to:

Dortmund Station -> Bonn Station

Now I know which way I'm looking when I'm hugging a lane to escape or someone spins me and I can't see exactly whats down the lane.

Sometimes, when all you want is to gain your freedom, you must be willing to risk it all.

If you travel through lanes and have an active navigational path, the beginning and the end of a lane will always be set as destinations.

Since the next destination is always shown in the left lower HUD window, you can always see how far it is to the end of the lane you are currently in.

If you want to know where exactly in the lane your ship is at a current time, all you need to do is to target the lane-gate you entered through in backview right after passing it (this is necessary, because you'll lose any active target in the lane).

You can then see in your HUD in a yellow color the distance from your entering point, and in purple the distance to the end of the lane.

The closer position will always be on top. So it will happen that exactly in the middle of the lane those two positions will change places.

for those who missed it: the moral of it all is ----> traders with teeth are fun for pirates. - within reason.
