' Wrote:I hate the cockpits honestly. I liked them before they got all the crisscrossing metal beams. In freelancer all ships have a transparent cockpits. I use to think the same way, why make it transparent? But, I learned, thanks to a beat down I got from ashes several months ago on one of my ship. It doesn't look freelancer with out it. If you can't do it yourself ask someone who can. It's really not hard.
That's true. Having worked on the Coalition ships quite a lot (had to fix quite a few errors in the models and textures) I can tell you that unfortunately a transparent cockpit glass won't work without rebuilding the entire cockpit.
The way I see it, Current Coalition ships are Pretty but not functional
These new ships are functional, but not pretty.
They'll do for now, and it'll mean the Coalition will have some decent ships they can fly without getting royally pwned every time.
I'd like to see the Coalition line revised again though, there's a lot that can be done to increase the quality of the ships. But for now, the Coalition seem happy with these ships.
