Are there any hacks for or cheats for freelancer multiplayer

There are no programs to help you cheat except for ones that help you locate areas, items, bases, etc. Be warned that the use of a popular program called DataStorm has been disallowed when used in multiplayer. These servers can detect them and you will be booted or banned from the server. You can, however, use a program called Freelancer Explorer to view the system, base and faction properties undetected by the game servers, but you can not change anything or it will be detected by the server instantly, resulting in a ban.

Altering any ini files are also detectable by the game servers. This can only be done in single player mode.
