Dumb a*s question on Freelancer

Wrong forum, but I know some people who read this forum are playing it (for obvious reasons) so here goes...

How the hell do I change my ships load out?

I found a class 3 drail I want to put in my third slot (which is Class 3) but I can't move anything around, let alone customize what slot a gun goes in. :/

WTF am I missing here?

Inventory let's me see what I have, but won't let me interact with it at all. Am I doing something wrong or is there a bit of an oversight b y the game makers here?

Oversight I think, either that or your ship can't take a gun of that size, is the same class, but might just be too big. Haven't played a whole lot, but the only way I really found to change parts was to sell and buy. =/

I finally figured it out.

In the upper left corner of each picture of equipment is a little "lock" icon. You can unlock stuff from slots then lock other stuff into it. It's not as easy as say, dragging and droppin gthings into load out slots, but it's not too bad.

I got a mad scheme to make lots of $$ I just need some escorts while I fly a cargo ship chalked full of diamonds.

You still have this up? Couldn't find it in the list.

lol

the boards over at FL portal are all about making the "diamond run" to finance basically everything you do after you finish the Single Player campaign. I guess it's fight....diamond run....fight....diamond run....lol.

Fun game, not sure how long it'll keep me entertained though. They need about 10x as many mission types (kill THIS guy and kill THOSE guys being the only two I"ve found so far).

Some actual variation in the resource prices would be nice too. There used to be an old windows transport game that was all about flying stuff between X and Y (and surviving) that I just LOVED. The prices were kinda stable (place near diamond minds would almost always be cheaper than place away from mines for instance) but I remember making this amazingly dangerous run, being totally broke and nearly out of fuel to find out the market for my product had tanked en route! lol. Was great fun.

I'm impressed with how stable and well-built FL is, but it needs a bit more depth and variety to keep me entertained. Still a good shoot-'em-up though, and the single player missions are sweet.

No, no one joined so I shut it down.
