dumb..this is Freelancer...not Warcraft in space.

WhiteTiger, I'm having difficulties understanding your statement. You mean that his idea is dumb because imlementing it would have made Freelancer another game?

First of all I can't see how Freelancer would suddenly turn into another game just because of a new (added) feature. It wouldn't replace anything of the current Freelancer, only add to it. And, if it actually did change it, unless I'm mistaken, that's what a lot of people want. Almost everyone on this board agrees that Freelancer needs an expansion or patch of some sort, even the ops here who effectively censor discussions where people express negative opinions regarding Freelancer.

In my opinion, your statement is just some sort of irrational defensive statement for Freelancer. Just remember one thing, those will never contribute to making this game any better.

I'm not sure, but I think that would require additional game code, instead of just modified .ini files. But looking at what certain modding communities have managed to create (Neverwinter Nights come to mind), I wouldn't rule anything out.

I don't think it would work, the ones you can dock with are treated like bases and those don't move at all.

How about a mod where by you can purchase a Battleship and your clan or group members can dock on it. The Battleship can be piloted and moved through the universe and hence used as a mobile base

But would'nt that then make so you would not really need to fly anyware at all. You could just Dock, and then plan the route for it to go too.

Ok not a battle ship but maby a Hvy Freighter smaller and more compact. Could only dock on it for repairs no other stuff. Clans could use it but iam thinking the cos around 20 million. Now the lower level guys might think that sorta money is impossible but guys who got the eagles and sabres kno its possible with a bit of work. It could give higher level people something 2 aim for.

I think you guys are missing the point. In order for a player ship to dock with another mobile ship (player or not), you would have to write all new code for Freelancer, which nobody knows how to do yet. In the future (like months from now), we MAY have the knowledge to do this. But right now, every one of these types of posts (someone wanting a mobile ship that player can dock to) all end in the same thing: Its just not possible at this point in time.

It is a cool idea though

what about battleships? some of them you can dock with, so what if you make a battleship that can be docked with pilotable? then wouldn't it be usable for the purpose he is purposing?

yah.. white tiga..

i donno where you gettin this awesomness from. but .. like.. whaaa..?
ohhoh. you don want tha game to be coola. well, then say somethin so much coola like that.

n' have some o ma bisquits. =D

ohhoh, n' yah. coo idea. i was thinkin abot that befo.

n' then it'd be so coo to have 2 clans load up their battleships n' fly tha battleships at each otha n' unload. that'd be cooness. =DDD

but am I wrong in thinking that existing battleships modded to be playabel would still be able to have things dock with them?
