Various Thoughts (Rep, Ship Merchant, etc)

... You really do have a point there about the Barracuda vs the Anubis. The bloody thing's brick-like physics (at least it wasn't a Freighter) really did make dogfighting difficult. The Barracuda, on the other hand, handled like a dream and could still dish out punishment.

As for campaign and rep-wise... I've spent ages without progressing the story before- Juni can wait a surprisingly long time for Trent, it seems. She must really like him.:laugh:

I even managed to make my way back into Liberty space from Bretonia and get to where Xenos were (Texas being the easiest to reach, working out of Beaumont there), and make the Liberty authorities not want to shoot me on-sight in no time. Would be even easier from Kusari space, thanks to the Xenos being based right in the Independent Worlds between Kusari and Liberty.

While I was still kinda in Liberty space during the Bretonia segment, I got 'the call' from Juni, and made the long trek back to Leeds. It was somewhat amusing. And the New York-Magellan gate is a very convenient shortcut.

When I recently replayed the game using that 1.4 patch, I actually had enough funds on me after the Nomad defeat to make me a level 32 right away, once the campaign level restrictions had been lifted and I sold all my extra loot. Though that may have been the Level 10 guns I looted off the ancient battlefield wreckages in Sigma-13. From that war... 80-Years War. But, anyway, those Iron Hammers fetched a mighty fine price and made me a wealthy man during the Kusari segment. Those wreckages aren't all that hard to find and get to, and they make you damn rich right quick.

As for the voices... yeah. Sh*t-load of work. But if it can be done...

I also saw some things about non-Lancer ships being in the mod, and I have to agree with some of what I read. Y-Wing in this game? What the hell? And the suggestion that added ships should build off of the established Lancer designs, for the most part, and just basically preserve that 'Lancer feel' ... Like that 'Rogue Cruiser' in New York (Heuegenot or something?). What, exactly, is a Hiigaran Battlecruiser doing in Liberty? I suppose so long as it's a placeholder, that's fine. But if that's what's meant to be there...:blink:

EDIT: Also, if I can help with any of this, I'd love to. I have a bit of training with 3ds max and photoshop, and I might be able to adapt to whatever programs are used for FreeLancer modelling. I have a fighter design I made during my 3ds max classes for my own concept idea. Uses default textures, but I don't think it looks too bad.

Currently: Remastering Kiith Somtaaw's Acolyte Fighter. These Homeworld ships need some Sirius work done on them. ^.-
