well, personally, i don t like those brand ships in freelancer. the original FL ships have more of a jules verne look. sort of retro, not really sophisticated.
besides, some ships are just too polular to fit into FL. a X-wing is just a star wars brand product. of course a juggernaut might be aswell, but its not so widely recognized. you wouldn t want to be able to purchase a deathstar in freelancer i guess, or would you?
i do allready have problems with ships like the viper and the battlestars which just don t fit in too well - and had to be reduced in their size .. which makes them appear to be rather models of what they should be ( especially when you think of their docking bays that now look like toy docking bays )
