Just tossing this idea out in the open

The general place to discuss MOD''ing Freelancer!

Actually, the first version of the Balistner is ready along with the Javelin cruiser and Longsword Mk II. The only problem is that the mod is relatively large since it involves both new ships, battleship encounters and some other changes as well. I heard some of the previous testers had some problems but if you want to use the ships, email me and i will send you the first beta. I'd like some feedback regarding it and any bug reports before i release it on TLR though.

P.S. The Naginata is complete and undergoing local testing before being imprted into the mod. On a side note, leave about 1.8MB on your mailbox empty if you want the mod.

You know... I have kind of wanted a simple ship shaped like a brick with a half cylinder across the front for a cockpit (you're in space after all, wings are only necessary to mount stuff on, but if you have a big flat body, well...). The whole rear could be the engine exhaust. It could be used as a freighter or dreadnaught. You know, the classic 4-2-1 rectangle shape, no special color but maybe reflective gold for the "windshield" and black/red trim or grey/green trim for the body. It could have say, 4 forward firing guns and maybe 4 turrets on the top and 4 on the bottom in a V configuration or just 6 on the top and some missile or torp launchers on the bottom (I would make them all the same type so the weapons could be all fired with one button push) and the usual other accoutraments like counter measures, and mines. I personally would give it a hold of about 3250-5000 units or so, about 15000 hull strength, and make it use heavy fighter shields so I could use my "diamond shield" modified shields (I don't really like the invulnerable shields 'cause it's like god mode, mine are only like avatar mode!). Then I could haul water to the border worlds in peace and security, or roll up next to, say, Cadiz base and whallop the pee out of anything that shows up to talk, including the base (I just love peeling those turrets off the pirate bases, don't you!). Can anyone out there make such a thing? PLEEEAASE????

Some guy, just use one of the existing battleship mods. That way you can stay outside any base you choose and whack anyone or anything. Go to the tutorial forums to see whats already been done.

I have swordfish, its textured and ready for use in FL. The only problem is that that ship was created by Havikar who still did not answer to my emails concerning his ship. If I don’t hear from him anytime soon I will finish ini and infocards work and post it for download. I will give Havikar his credit because he deserves it...ship look nice.

Cool. I have a sworfish model, too. It needs some triangles cut here and there. Can I see what Havikar's got?

For some reason it makes me think of a crop duster. It still looks nice though. A 60s or 70s impression of a starship.

Supposedly, it was originally designed (withought the cannon) as an atmospheric racer.

WOW. Could it be any more perfect? Cuz I don't think it could. That goes for both of you. Excellent work, and when can I implement this into NG mod? =D

Post Tue Jul 15, 2003 6:06 am

So when are you guys releasing? =D

Post Tue Jul 15, 2003 9:45 am

Thats what I want to know, what would really take it over the top though would be if ya disconected the cannon pice and actully made that the gun to mount so that it would turn as you point. Just an Idea.

Moding, its a way of life.

What about the Defiant from star trek, or a borg cube or sphere.
What about all Star Trek ships...

But what I need is information about how to release new ships into my mod.
