New ship idea: class transport

[Kazinsal]

The spatial, firefly, kujira are all imports and a lot of ships I see look like stuff out of Babylon 5 and a few other series I watch.

That's THREE ships out of multiple hundred in this mod.

I really don't know what you're trying to accomplish here. The dev team would not add another import to the mod no matter how shiny it is.

Again, no. No imports. None. Whatsoever. We're working on getting rid of the current ones.

Say whatever happened to the Metropolis?

Do you SEE a Spyglass model anywhere in the Discovery files?

Ummm... I've never been interested in the spyglass but yes there is the spyglass on the wiki.

So your RE-SRP request didnt go then?I seem to remember you posting something about that?

That's not an answer to my question. In fact, that's a totally unrelated question (the answer to which is we haven't actually done the SRP yet because it's not paramount to our existence).

I wasn't aware that the Metropolis implied being an import. Please, O wise and brilliant one who determines whose RP is valid and whose isn't, elaborate.

I guess not huh. Weird that it hasn't been removed yet from the wiki

[Altejago]

Or simply wasn't updated when Spyglass became Arbiter.

Either way, the Wiki is exactly that; Wiki.

If you base your arguments on that, then you're doomed to look like an idiot.

Never argue with an idiot. It will bring you down to their level where upon they're more experienced.

What?

I asked you what happened to your SRPd Spyglass which I believe was called the Metropolis, and an import Thought it might have been updated to Arbiter when Spyglass was removed.

I have no idea what you're talking about?

The Raiders SRPs were removed when the original faction left and Switchback took over. I'm surprised you don't vividly remember him whining about that every ten minutes.

Every Spyglass was updated to an Arbiter in 4.86. The Arbiter uses the old Spyglass file names and entries.

This thread is going nowhere.

Yes, there are imports.
No, no more imports are being accepted.
No, partially changing them is not acceptable because it has to fit with whatever shipline the ship is included in. It can be inspired in a ship from certain series, but not just steal the model and add/remove a few bits
No, paying someone won't make your model accepted.

If you really plan on submitting ships do something new and original that the community will accept. Not imports.

Imports is kill

The Development Team's current policy on ship submissions includes the following points:

• We no longer accept submissions which are imports from a different game universe or other setting.
  
• All existing imported models are being phased out of the mod as soon as a replacement model is available.
  
• We are unlikely to accept work from other Freelancer mods unless the original creator explicitly offers it to us.
  
• We welcome original work provided that it meets a minimum quality standard. However, we would rather have ships submitted that are suitable replacements for imported ships before we consider adding brand new ships to the mod.
  
• Submitting ships that are unique or for personal use only are much less likely to be accepted than ships which will be open for use. Faction-restricted ships will be handled on a case-by-case basis.

Ship Submissions are closed for Mod version 4.87, and will re-open once we are into the v4.88 development cycle. You may still post models to discuss feasibility for inclusion in the mod and receive feedback on ship designs.

The model in the original post would be disqualified for the following criteria:
- It is drawn from an existing non-Freelancer setting.
- The model is not of sufficient quality.
- The model's design does not follow the aesthetics of any existing ship manufacturer in the mod lore.
