    I´d love to be able to play freelancer from my couch/bed <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Of course I could just hook my computer up to my TV and get a wireless keyboard and mouse <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

    According to my list of wrecks I am compiling Freespirit in Galileo should drop Alien artifacts. Was this an MP server? Perhaps someone got there before you? Also try using only one weapon, not a whole salvo, you might end up destroying the cargo.

    Just disrupt a trade lane and kill everything that comes through then fly away laughing hysterically. Okay not quite lawful... but definite rep fixing there <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Plus you´ll only wind up neutral with the lawful groups (or even keep their alliance and very slightly above hostile with the unlawful groups)

    Maybe, just maybe there is a point to there being 3 good VHF´s. Each has a very different style to it, depending on whether you want agility (the eagle), brute force (the titan) or a mixture (the sabre). So different people are bound to find different ships more their bag. I´ve just bought a sabre and I like it (especially going from a Valkyrie with level 8 weapons to a Sabre with all those nice level 10 weapons I have found <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>). Next I am going to go find myself an eagle and give it a try. I´ll probably go find a titan though I doubt it will suit my flying style much. (BTW I´m beginning to think the eagle looks cooler... the sabre looks kinda stupid with that underneath platform thingy)

    Got my preordered copy this morning, had to carry it around the hospital all day just itching to play it (wasn´t about to leave it sitting in my car <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>) About to get started <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Cya next year!

    Who knows <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Plus Dwyer you could always get your wife Freelancer as an anniversary gift (but then you´d be hoping to get it in the divorce settlement) <img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

    Yes, it is a flower (or at least Chrysthanthemum is) From memory the Chrysthanthemum is important in Japanese culture (the emperor is said to sit on the Chrysanthemum throne)... this is just from memory I may not be correct <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

    Heres hoping <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Stupid thing is I´m going out Wednesday night so I won´t get much chance to play it <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> (Of course the fact I am going out to play LAN games is just sad but anyway <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>)

    Thinking into the future a little (hopefully the very near future <img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>)... what are the odds of there being some Aussie servers up and running... I mean it´s possible that those of us on cable/ADSL (maybe even 56k´ers who knows) will be able to play on US/European based servers without much hassle but still it´d be great to play with a bunch of Aussies too <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>.

    There is a more recent version of the 4-in-1´s... I mean hyperion <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> drivers at http://www.viaarena.com, that is the version I am using at the moment (with an MSI mainboard) and the demo runs fine <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Oh and only download those if your motherboard using a VIA chipset (for both northbridge and southbridge).
