Culture, anyone?

[Mr.Fabulous]

We all know that the many countries here in the Sirius system are not realistically matched. In the days of Vanilla, the rank from lowest to highest ships & equipments were the ff: Liberty, Bretonia, Kusari, Rheinland and Hispania.

I know that there are already many ships, equipments and designs that have helped improved the situation to make the countries seemingly "balanced", but there are still some tweeks. Here's an example:

The Rhino and the Clydesdale are both "technically" of the same rank, but they have SIGNIFICANT differences in all forms: from armor, nano/batt count, to the cargo space available (most significant to traders though).

The Discovery Freelancer team has made so much effort to make this game a great success, thank the divines for that; but I think it would be greater if the Human race in this sector had some sort of classification structure to manage the limits for a type of ship to be in its class.

An example would be like this:
For freighters, there are 3 classes of them: light, medium or heavy. The light ones, like the Rhino, Clydesdale, or other ones like them, would have more or less the same amount of techs, but that the country they are manufactured from would put their cultural trademarks: the Rhino of Liberty would be a runner-ship with a relatively minimized cargo space, but increased speed, cruise-engine-charge time and turning rate, yet have smaller armor, shield power, energy power, turret count and bot/bat count; while as the Clydesdale of the Bretonians, seeing as they like to have BIG, STRONG SHIPS, would have a bigger cargo space, armor, shields, energy, turrets and bot/bat count, but at the expense of speed.

Then the Medium-class would be the MKII version of the Light, and it also holds the same for the Heavy.

This is just my idea. I really would love to be able to fly a ship, an example like the Mammoth, that really gives the spirit, differences in tactics and advantages/disadvantages of the manufacturing country in every model they make.

Thanks for reading...
