' Wrote:#2 ... I do hope you treat traders quick-docking to avoid being pirated in the same way. Many times I've engaged a trader who quickly turned and docked on Yanagi or another base "I" am allied with. If I start posting violation reports for these traders ... will they receive the same sanction? Not to mention specific faction ID's docking on their enemy's stations to avoid my piracy (for example, Kruger docking with GMG's Naha base in Sigma 13 ... Rheinland and GMG are not friends).
I do believe these things have been sanctioned in the past....
But, anyway, why are we arguing about what Freelancer doesn't do, instead of what it does do? Did it occur to anyone that it might not be the ships, but the Planets that are scaled wrong? Because the space shuttle re-enters Earth's atmosphere without a docking ring doesn't mean that the ships of Freelancer can easily, otherwise they would be doing so easily, and docking rings wouldn't exist.
Mooring Fixtures exist for the same reason, because large transports cannot escape the atmosphere of a planet. Maybe the force of gravity and their mass has something to do with that? Most of the planets have a larger radius and mass than Earth (Only main planet I looked into that had a smaller radius and mass was NL), and so their force of gravity would be higher (And in the case of NB, much higher). I would love to argue physics here, but, the physics in Freelancer aren't the best (As we all know) and an exact material list isn't given for the Advanced Train, though, we could extrapolate using Densities and whatever, but, lots of room for error there. I think that we can assume because we can't enter the atmosphere ingame that it is physically impossible for the majority of us to enter the atmosphere and then escape it. If not, well, that's what text RPGs are for, isn't it? To make your own game up?
