Tradelanes and jumpgates

[reavengitair]

Would it be possible to give each house their own tradelanes and jumpgates? I've always dislike the way how every single house uses the same type...

Also, if we could, is it possible to make them... bigger? For the sake of fellow powertraders you know!

With the new "big fat" ships, its probably necessary to make custom tradelanes and jumpgates due to the really annoying docking glitches that the big fat ships face in their everyday flying life.

If cars couldn't fit on roads... well... then...

1. All the tradelanes and jumpgates in Sirius are made by Ageira, variety would be silly for them, though pretty for us.

2. The actual tradelane 'circle' that you dock with in the tradelanes cannot increase in size, going on what was said about the Nomad tradelanes that is. The model of the whole thing can be increased in size but your ship will still need to get into the right position to dock with that same 'circle'.
So no, can't increase it as you are asking.


1. Is more of an RP thing. It makes little sense since Ageira make them all.
2. Is a game mechanic thing, something that can't be changed as far as we know.

So it's a no on both fronts sorry:(

Well, it does make sense that all the tradelanes and jumpgates look alike within the 4 houses. Being manufactured by the same company and all.

However, Gallia does need new models for them, and I know certain people are already working on them:)

In the Freelancer lore, Ageira of Liberty designed and built all of the trade lanes in Sirius, either through exports or on hand work.

All the work for Trade lanes & Dock ring made by Ageira agreed but each government must have different contract with them like multinational company (In this Ageira), due to this they have to built trade lanes & Dock ring as per House design.

is a bit strange that only ships are different, but not other technology (bases, lanes, rings etc.). For example, Corsairs have very distinct-looking ships. It would look great if their bases followed the same design.

I have also posted the same discussion topic (http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?...=41452&hl=)

thanx for reposting it Rev...

What about turning them horizonatlly instead of their usual vertical position?

You'd also fly horinzontal i think. If i remember correct.

if you r talking about remodeling the trade lanes and jump gate i agree to a point you see with the new gallia system they should be changed
but in time past i had always work out to my own sat that the house system jumpgate and trade lanes where frist invented by one man who then sold the idea to all the goverments that he new of at the time
thuse they all look the same as every one was workign off the same blue print he made
but yes the Gallia system ones should look diffferent even if just a little or mybe just change the color of the effect when you start the trade lanes in gallia but then i'm not going to do it so what ever someone less lazy then me desides to do will porabley be just fine
but then it could just stay the same and just say junker spys stole the tech from teh other house's

All the four houses use exactly the same technology with them because they were all built be the same company.

They don't need a change, but if someone goes ahead and does it...


Rheinland calls the Vanilla TLs because the Rheinland GB and the TLs use the same texture!


EDIT: Oh, and as for making a new JG, good luck getting the spinny thing and other moving parts to work.

The nomad jumpgate doesn't have an animation now, does it?

No, you're just docking, all of a sudden enter the "tunnel" thing and you enjoy the fancy custom wormholeish effect.
