I'm new to this game! Actually, I played it a long time ago, and have just gotten back into play EV. I want to pick up a bulk freighter, but I don't know where to get one. Do I have to board one and capture it? Or what? Thanks,
Montana

Board and capture.

I don't really know, but I think it's dumb because Bulk Freighters are really weak. Are you a Confed? If you are, do Confed missions and get the Frigate or Cruiser. Bulk Freighters are really weak and they aren't warships. It's pretty dangerous being a Bulk Freighter because a lot of guys can get you. I don't know why I'm saying this. I'm a Rebel Manta and I hate confeds. Just giving you an advice. If you see a Rebel Manta with nutron cannon and laser turret, don't destroy him. It's me.
You must either capture it or download or create a plugin that allows you to purchase it. (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiaSW.com/games/ev/addons.html")http://www.ambrosiaS.../ev/addons.html(/url)
There should be one there; I remember downloading it about 5 years ago. I have forgotten the name, however.

He's going to ignore you and do whatever he wants since it's his pilot file and he's obviously just trying out new things.
And which point he will come crawling back to us. THEN you can use criticism. (Actually, you probably shouldn't even use it then.)

It's a good thing in any case to ignore what that guy says I've found.
You guys are talking jibberish.

In EV Nova it does, but in EV, you must capture a Bulk Freighter or download a Plug-in that makes it purchasable. If you like EV Nova, you might like the original, which can be downloaded (url="http://"http://www.ambrosiasw.com/cgi-bin/vftp/show.pl?product=ev&category;=essentials&display;=date&file;=Escape_Velocity.bin")here(/url).

------------------ Could it be both on fire and a software problem?
I'm just saying if your going to use it as a warship you can try, if your doing it for fun its easy I admit to using them.
Make it available in a custom made plug in, giving it loads of space, shields and the physics of a defender.... Then again, that would be booooooring!

Who wantz a mega-powerful ship if you cheat for it? Ewww..... :frown:
lol, i think some of you got a bit off topic! Anyways, thanks for the help for the people that did help. I just got a Kestrel(with my own money) and some argosys to transport the goods. That's about it! Thanks,
Bulk Freighters aren't good and I think you can only get them if you become a Confed. But still that'll be dangerous because Bulk Freighters are so weak that they can even be destroyed by Argosy Pirates or Mantas. I don't think you should be one. they're REALLY slow too. I think you should just be a trader or be a Rebel. If you're going to be a Confed, don't get the Cruiser. It's so slow so you can be destroyed easily. Since it's slow, it's the same strength as the Rebel Cruiser. If it was faster, the Rebel Cruiser might lose since Confed Cruisers have more Neutron turrets then Rebels. But I still think you should be a Rebel. It's more exciting being a Rebel.

Honestly I hat the Feds so much I think I prefer the Bul Freighter over the Fed Cruiser. DIE FEDS!

Yeah I guess. Bulk Freighters don't fight at all. I at least like them better than Cruisers. Which Rebel ship do you have, or do u just have a Kestrel or something? I'm going to get a Rebel Cruiser since i just finished the Alien mission.
