Levels?

    more money = higher levels. what do you think? you can start the game and fly the best ships right of the bat? Sheesh! RTFM If I had a nickel for every time someone told me that my idea for melting down coins to make a giant robotic parrot was a bad idea, I would have one kicka$$ giant robotic parrot.

    So let me get this straight! My pilot levels go up when i collect enough cash? I would have thought it would go up with a certain number of kills. Anyone confirm this please. P.S. I didn´t expect anything, just merely asking a question. You need to sit back and take a blue pill or two.

    actually it your current worth that levels you the amount of money you own and the worth of your ship 10´000 Lemmings can´t be wrong Break the bone the body heals, Break the spirit the body dies. The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides By the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, Shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, For he is truly his brother´s keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger Those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you. Ezekiel 25:17

    open the char. payne (if i remember right the defult key is F-8?) and look where is says "next level". it should have a monitary value there (unless you are in SP then it gets alittle confusing but same consept). That is how much more you need for the next level. In other words RTFM.

    Is there a utility for the level, apart from the fact that it limits the ships we can buy? I ask because i heard rumors that level is limited to 38 in the game... Is it true? Do we care?

    As far as I know, 38 is the maximum level. Trading is my favorite way to level up quickly. I spent about four hours making trade runs last night and went from level 1 to level 35. It´s not as easy as it sounds, especially early on, when you´re sinking all of your available cash into your cargo hold.

As soon as I can afford a ship in MP it allows me to buy it.

    <font size=1 face="trebuchet ms"><BLOCKQUOTE><hr size=1 noshade>But what is the meaning of levels greater than 32? The biggest ship requires level 32. So to be level 38 is useless? <hr size=1 noshade></BLOCKQUOTE></font><font face=´trebuchet ms, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica´ size=2> Your level seems to have a little impact on what class of weapons enemy ships can drop when you kill them. There are certain enemy ships that everyone hunts down at higher levels because of the weapons they can drop, and for those specific enemies the chances of them dropping their weapons for a character below level 35 seems somewhat low. Note: The statement above, while supported by my own personal experience, is based entirely on the supposition of the general community here and observed trends. It has yet to be backed up as &quot;fact&quot; by someone digging through Freelancer´s code. Your mileage may vary. Check the spoiler forum for further details.

    I am presently level 14 and i have 1000000 credits. I would have loved to buy a titan <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> I obtained those credits by 3 very lucrative cargo runs after i got the Dromadary... Takes 45-50 minutes per run but it pay real cash!
