Humble request for a new Colonial ship

[Yngen]

if the looks could be upgraded a bit, it would make a great addition to the BSG, cuz it's ***** ugly man :(

I think it looks perfect now that I've seen it up close, exactly like the show.

yes...i have flied it too...ships looks nice...as for power of it, make it in between RH bomber and taiidan bomber....
it would be better to introduce that ship in one of the next releases and make it less powerful, instead of making it over powered
since we have only two bombers in the mod maybe adding few more would result in seeing less RH bombers

[OrrinDymas]

I hate to say this. But to be fair, there should be a bomber for each house faction. It would have been better to do a Liberty bomber than the Liberty Carrier. Yes the carrier looks cool, but its a redundant ship and was a waste of manhours. The Liberty capital ships are quite adequit and they dont need another cruiser/gunboat. Lets get all the model builders out there to submit designs for a Kusari, a Bretonian and a Liberty bomber (and we can slip this already made raptor in with them,) and start balancing them all. If comming up with balanced variation is an issue then make them all the same balance-wise. The point is, if you provide a ship that is more appropriate for role play you at least encourage better role play.

Put the torpedo bays on the aft of the Bretonia bomber, since the current story arc has them constantly running away.

I agree, we really need some more variety when It comes to bombers. While were at it, make a bomber along the Dagger ship design for all the pirates! That would be cool as well as being a great addition to the mod.

well i would mind seeing a bomber modleed on the droid fighter from sw

Obviously this is not about Starwars, if you want to go 'pine for a Tiebomber, go make another thread.

Ok, so this little discussion has spawned the big bomber debate and we aren't getting as much press because the dreaded reinland bomber is stealing the show.

I'll throw this out there: Someone involved with the making of this mod likes BSG *cough*wolfpack*cough*
Probably multiple Admins like it, heck Igiss likes it-Otherwise we wouldn't have all the Battlestars, vipers and cylon raiders in it. Take these ships out of the mod and =BSG= goes to another mod obviously. Yes, the community is great, but the first hook for all of us on this is the ships, we have to have the ships. Then consider what the builders have created. =BSG= and [CR] did not bully their way on to this mod, they were enticed by all the cool toys and role play as well as the server activity.

Is it not then logical to continue that idea and include the raptor?

No more SW ships. This is not "Episode VII: The Discovery of Freelancer". This is Discovery Freelancer mod. A mod that expands the FL experience with logical changes.

If you ask me, adding ships from SW, ST and BSG is not a good idea. It spoils the FL universe.
Although, the Bomber you suggest seems to fit well within the fl universe because the design follows other FL ships...

You're dashing my dreams Korrd!

I've heard this sort of argument before but I'm not sure it was from you. Back when [CR] was starting up...something said about keeping the Freelancer-ness in the mod. I'm afraid if that is a concern, the mod is already tainted with more Hollywood hulls than one could shake a stick at. I see this as a very practical matter. Most of the custom models out there come from TV. People get inspired by these shows and spend the time to create the ships. Its much more difficult to create something from scratch-perhaps less diffictult to make a model derived from the vanilla FL universe. However for the most part, modelers are interested in making ships they see on TV.

Obviously I wasn't around when this mod began. I don't know what vision Igiss had when he started it. From second hand accounts, this mod was intended to keep its plot confined to the story started with the single player campaign. And now that I think about it more, I would prefer all rumor information/stories to remain so, with expansion possibilities like the Bret/kusari war done occasionally. So the idea is to keep the Discovery story pure so we don't end up with another SW installment, or BSG season 10 for that matter. But the ship models being so hard to come by...I think it would be ok to add ready-made ones and incorporate them in the same way all the other ones have.

When a ship prototype leaves the research bureau, it takes lots of tests to determine its qualities. In a way, the same thing is happening on Discovery. Some ships are good and gain popularity, some aren't used by anyone never were and never will. A new topic about BSG ships has started elswhere. The sole fact, that the matter of new ships sparks so much interest ensures, that the added ships would be at least tried out. If they fit a faction's RP, it is certain, that that faction WILL be using it. This applies to all factions. The KNF, SA, SF and of course BSG, they all would benefit from the application of a bomber. And the raptor, whiches model is ready and commonly availible, is a perfect candidate for such a ship - the BSG bomber. Besides, using the Taiidan bomber by the BSG has started a very hot discussion about RP correctness. The same applied to the Talarca cruiser, for which there simply is no replacement (as yet:rolleyes:). In other words, Let's add the ships, that are seriously in demand. The raptor is one of them The initial stages of its presence on Discovery would serve as a trial period, serving the purpose of balancing and refining it, so that it was free of bugs
