barracudas? you have problems with b. hunters? go to the bar and see if you can get a
misson and then is possible that even if they are there waiting they do not attack.
otherwise ... if you don't have no other savegame close ... start again :-) i played the
game 3 times :-)

buy new ship same weapons but check shield for any thing better

Once you're outta there turn it off.

when your out of the game, go into my computer, my games, freelancer, click on the
perfoptions file and go down to the bottome and erase the 1.00 on the difficulty scale =
and replace it with a 0.00 :)

other than using god mode you might try loading your game 2 or 3 times from the essex save
point sometimes the amount of enemies sometimes vary when you exit dock

or fly full thrust and dance back to the jump gate throwing mines and flares and hope for
some molly's to show up

If you do want to dance back to the jump gate make sure that you use the super sliding...
(Tab + Alt + E)So that you can turn around and shoot at them while retreating at the same
time!!!
