Greetings All, I am going through Freelancer for the second time, only this time I am taking advantage of a "walk through" about the wrecks in freelancer done by Matthew Lawson (Thanks Matthew, great guide!). I know that any ship I have has a few different "cargo bays" on it. The main one that most everything you beam aboard (the gray squares turn blue in your inventory screen) and one for your guns that I had heard holds 26 guns/missile launchers/drones etc. I am at that part where we got the Proteous Tome(sp?) and I am in an "Order" heavy fighter. I have been looting the wrecks in each system I can get to when I'm not being dragged around and yelled at for going to slow for my main source of income, which has been *very* profitable! I am at level 17 and I was wondering, what is used to determine at what point I go up a level? Is it related solely to my income? I have about $400,000 in cash, my ship, my mounted guns. Approx. $700,000 total. Does the guns I have "in stock" ie not mounted, count into it or do I have to sell them in order to gain the monetary benefit? I have about 10 level 10 guns I can;'t use right now but was hanging on to them to use later (although, they all have a fire rate of 2.00, I have learned to like the ones I am using that fire at a rate of 4.00 but thought 2.00 might be too slow. I can sell them for $33,000 a pop as they are "code" guns you can't get anywhere else. Also, has anyone continued on much after the story to get the top-of-the-line ship and guns? Just curious ;> Thank you in advance. Paul C. Heisner ************************************************************************ "Trent, your going too slow, give more power to the engines!"

It should indicate the stuff needed for the next level right under your level. Either it will say MISSION or it will indicate a certain ammount of money needed. > Is it related solely to my income? It is related solely on your net worth IIRC with the exception of the storyline where it is also dependent on the progress of the story. > I have > about $400,000 in cash, my ship, my mounted guns.

I think it counts for the worth, but I am not 100% sure here. > I > have about 10 level 10 guns I can;'t use right now but was hanging on > to them to use later (although, they all have a fire rate of 2.00, I > have learned to like the ones I am using that fire at a rate of 4.00 > but thought 2.00 might be too slow. I can sell them for $33,000 a pop > as they are "code" guns you can't get anywhere else. Definitely sell 4 of em (except you are a collector that wants to compare their graphics). No fighter can mount 10 guns. But there are better guns then the code guns out there... BTW: Personally I like the 2.0 guns. > Also, has anyone continued on much after the story to get the > top-of-the-line ship and guns? Of course. Played to the last level and looted every wreck. Not really worth it however. You've seen pretty much everything that is cool in the storyline. You can however find the wreckage of the Hispania and you can find 2 special systems (don't bother exploring either - one is empty, the other one only has the two planets that are visible from the start) -- A transistor protected by a fast-acting fuse will protect the fuse by blowing first.
