1853/30/08/2003AD - Sorting out the site layout so it'll be simpler. Decided to concentrate my guides mainly on Liberty and the beginning period of a multiplayer game, before all the heavy stuff, because other sites will do all that, so go there instead.
0127/30/08/2003AD - 'Drunken Lancers' is an idea for a Freelancer Guild, check out the Bar Section for details. It might be a good way of getting peeps together for games. Its nothing you can't drop out of whenever you feel like it. So relax.
0800/29/08/2003AD - Well, sorted out the interface for the moment, until i can be bothered to make yellow mouseover thingies for all the buttons, which probably won't be for a while. Content is being made as we speak, experience is being gathered as i drift into my second week playing Freelancer, huzzah!

You can expect some fan fiction, reviews of ships, beginners guides to piracy, trading, rhino joy, getting a good start online, and funny tales.
Do not expect super-important trade routes, spoilers, advanced player's guides or cheats/big shortcuts.
