If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God? - from 'Nightfall' by I. Asimov The Outcasts consider Siniestre Nube a sacred place for several reasons. Early explorers discovered a jumphole within the depths of the cloud that leads to a strange world of ringed stars and strange craft. All ships in the burrial ground are placed facing that hole to honor the Alien Spirits. - An Outcast rumor
There are 2 ways to recover an account with account manager:
1. boot from the old hard disk, then run the program. export the key to another place.
2. look for the fam database. It is in the FAM install dir. This will work if you had the account in the fam already.
The other way is, (you need to boot from the old hdd):
--Go to run and type "regedit".
--browse to the key "HKCU\Software\microsoft\microsoft games\freelancer\1.0". There, you will find 2 values, "mpaccountname" and "mpaccountnamesig", save them. Those are the account info.
