New freighters? - Toaster - 12-04-2013
Simple question. What new freighters (if any) did .87 introduce?
In fact, any sexy new models for previously existing ones?

Actually a follow-up question too:
What happened to making lanes for freighters or something or over that was talked about before the Beta about plans for freighters?

1st problem with freighters: choosing between CD or Torp
And where the hell are the Class 10's??? No missiles? Which means if you wanna use it to stop ships you have to forgo your torp. Either allow both or throw on at least 1 missile slot!
RE: New freighters? - nOmnomnOm - 12-04-2013
Freighters are not a combat ship. They have guns to protect their cargo and can cruise very quickly away.
RE: New freighters? - Binski - 12-04-2013
Yes but why not? Who's to say inRP someone might wanna outfit it to do so? Can't ever be a such thing as a combat freighter? I mean the highest freighter cargo goes is like 650, so no one actually uses them for trading. They're best as scouts if you go for a fast one. Its not like you're going to take on any fighters in one anyways, they handle worse than bombers. But against transports, certain ones rock.
RE: New freighters? - nOmnomnOm - 12-04-2013
I can imagine in RP they are used for pirating or transporting IMP cargo like codenames.
Yes, I have seen combat freighters before, but you cant put missiles on everything :S
I think missiles are restricted for fighters. Because thats their -only- purpose.
RE: New freighters? - Highland Laddie - 12-04-2013
I used to fly a combat-orientated Anki loaded with Deb turrets and C-ball launchers. It was great both for fighting against snubs, AND for taking on larger Transports if I wanted to pirate them.
Now....all I can really do is run away fast. Q_Q.
