Ship Ideas

[Unseelie]

yeah.
its called anal perfection.
and is a state of perfection that can only be found in my hat.

guess what my hat is?

but, seriously....freelancer needs freelancer ships...not ships from some other scifi,

every sci-fi has its own, highly stylized and recognizable ships for a reason....try not to muddy the crystal clarity of Sirius.

Yeah yeah I get it Unselie, not FL-ish enough. They were built/designed before I had even considered buying FL so of course they weren't FL-ish. Still, parts might be useful inspiration for something as simple as the arrangement of engine nacells, the way a wing connects to a fuselage, the location of a cockpit, whatever.

AoM, I'll search around to see if there is a way to export GC2 ships into a usable format. If I find a way and have some time, i'll see if I can rough up something that fits FL. I like doing that sort of thing but have pretty limited time for it these days.

i'm starting to despise the term "FL ish".

i couldn't give a rat's crack about it.

as long as it's an original design and will fly in Freelancer without any problems i'm all for it.

Well FL-ish is important though.........The more ships we have that fit or expand that term makes disco look much more professional.

will fly in freelancer?
its a simulation.
you could fly a rat's crack.

so.....

Freelancer ish...the only way to go.


@Morrigan....sorry, that last was a crack at myself more than anyone else.
I know I'm hard line.
but I really do believe there is a destinctive flavor to Freelancer ships, and I cringe when I see ships that deviate from that floating around in Disco.

NP Unselie, I agree and I'm pretty much a hard-liner myself. Heck, I even find Nomad ships and guns un-FL-ish , even though they were part of vanilla:)

um....umm....
wow....
care to elaborate on why?
now, I understand they don't fit the human side of things....do you also find the Dom'Kavosh cities unfreelancerish?

It's really a plausibility thing. Blue jelly ships with humans flying them? I dunno it just doesn't work for me, especially in an RP server environment where things are supposed to fit together well. I see Nomad and it is a jolt to my immersion. Personal hangup i guess:)

oh.
well, I protect my immersion by using my 'Imaginary Aegis,' I assume that all nomad ships are actually nomads, and treat them accordingly...also, this also refers to anyone else who is powerplaying.
I don't have any superheros in my freelancer universe.....maybe the phantoms.....just pilots of varying ability....I also assume that all the really dumb RP doesn't exist...If someone is out of RP, I create them an rp, in my head, to fit them into my immersive gameplay.
