Why no carrier patrols in NY? - Jihadjoe - 02-11-2012
There was a fair bit of work done with the trade faction NPCs to get them flying some of their own house transports and so on.
Frankly the only reason I'd object to there being lib carrier NPCs, is they the carrier is so horribly ugly it shames me to fly the thing. I'd rather not have to look at it any more than I already do.
LABC NPCs would be an excellent addition though. Could do the same with the rheinland carrier, Kusari Battlecruiser, etc.

RL carriers are carrier groups with multiple destroyers and cruisers, not to mention they have snubcraft that launch and fly interdiction
In-game carriers are weak and the patrol sizes are too small

And we all know that Freelancer wasn't made to be real.

' Wrote:And we all know that Freelancer wasn't made to be real.sorry is this a +1 or are you trying to make a contribution?
my point is that in-game carrier patrol group would be weaker than a battleship group, ergo not serving any useful purpose except as parade grouping.

carrier patrols would have to be a rare sight.
and only implemented when that fugly piece of poo model gets replaced. why this hasnt been done yet is beyond me. it's like looking at the bottom of a pregnant elephant with hemorrhoids

I actually like the Model- re skinning it would make it really beauty. The Model is nice the skin is ugly.

NPC cap pilots are terrible, they keep crashing into the planets. Maybe a bit off topic but is it possible to replace the non-movable Dread bases with their carrier counterparts?

Vanila cap ships looking great in patrol formation, dont replace them! :nono:( I dont mean, that new caps are bad, they are awesome :yahoo:)
New caps could serve like stationary base indeed. Like, Liberty Carrier can be placed like base somewhere in war zone. As for Rheinland.... their BSs are like space fortress, no need for change. (+100K for their hull hit points plz;))
Crazy idea to place stationary base- carrier in Delta. :crazy:

Liberty Carrier patrols already exist in the code, but have yet to be given spawn locations is all. This is true for many new NPC classes such as Liners and pirate faction transports.
