Freelancer Shiplines

[aerelm]

Latest Update:

Newport SHF is up.

This one's not intended as a "combat ship" tho it'll still have the usual combat capabilities, but it's instead more of a "space trailer" of sort - sturdy and roomy enough to make longer deep space travels less uncomfortable.

Also, cruise animation, probably.

Freelancer Shiplines

I did a bunch of random sketches a while back, and since people have been noticing these on my p3d and asking me about it, figured I may as well just post a thread and provide a little context. These are Not at the top of the priority list, but more part of a long-term plan to give each major Freelancer station a minimal shipline fitting with the general theme of that station.

Whats Next?

 

Spoiler

Note that these are all still in extremely early messy-sketchy stage with the general shapes defined but the actual surfaces still extremely rough/unrefined and details lacking, so it's just being posted as a little preview of what's planned for the upcoming months. These sketches were just to establish the general overall look of each line, so expect things to still change a fair bit as each line gets cleaned up and refined to be pushed ingame.

 

 

Heisenberg Research Station, Koeln	Security & Sample Collection Vessels
Very Heavy Fighter Bomber Freighter (Mining ship)
Noshima Freeport, Shikoku	Cartel Ships
Light Fighter (Racer) Very Heavy Fighter Bottlenose-style Gunship (Soon™)

All of these lines will be under the Sirius-wide Civilian techcell, so they'll be openuse for everyone. Barrier Gate line is higher priority than the rest so expect to see that one much sooner than the rest.

Any feedback, questions, concerns, etc is as always welcome.
