' Wrote:It is not at all to scale, have you seen how big tall decks are in discovery? I mean container must be for giants that are as tall as 2 story buildings, at least.
Perhaps we should take this time to discuss all the other things that are horrifically scaled in Freelancer?
I think if these pods were scaled to match larger ships with similar sized windows and such, it would lose most of its charm. I would much rather that it stayed this way, since it is unique and recognizable, something a block with rows of white squares isn't.
' Wrote:My second issue is an RP one. It Is very doubtful trains are made to provide life support to all their containers. Perhaps they can do this while docked with the assistance of the stations resources but I very much doubt it is done in space. If you want the pods to be realistic I would devote at least a quarter of each one to life support systems, to represent this I would just make a section with no windows.
I think miniaturization and every other aspect of design and engineering would have come a very long way by 817 AS. As an example of this, take Cryocubes, or perhaps even thrusters and shield generators.
