Special modded LF''s and help needed for new faction
Hey all.
I'm working on a new mod which, in it's completed form, is supposed to add a new faction to freelancer.
This faction, whose name I haven't sorted out yet (I always get lost in search for an appealing name), is something in the likes of the bounty-hunters. They are more like guns for hire on the good side of the houses. They are usually paid to escort and protect any one that wants to venture into hot spots like corsair filled systems/sectors/whatever.
These mercs will have a special taste for speed over armor and will mostly fly special modified light fighters. The modified light fighters are supposed to be on equal footing to a Titan, eagle or the Saber but on totally diferent grounds. They are supposed to have only about half of the class-10 VHF's Hull armor (hit points), less shield, and only some of them will have an extra hard point. The major enhancments to the special modified LF's are the max hardpoint rank which will be raised considerably as well as the power source, and the maneuvrability/speed which will be something between 50% to 100% better than their original versions.
This faction is for people that like to dog fight around enemies knowing that one small move can mean the end rather than just stop to a standstill with the Titan and blow everything with one single shot. Also for those who like to help other players getting through hot spots since the only way to hire one of these mercenaries is by finding a PC that "belongs" to them.
The ships will get minor model and skin alterations so they dont look exactly like the originals.
Ok... I'm gonna need some help with this. Ican do the 3d thing... it's my ball game. But I'm gonna need a couple of people to create bases for the faction, the faction itself, the missions you can get at the bar, etc.
I will make the ship alterations... the Patriot is already being given the finishing touches in the stats. If no one volunteers I'll just release the ships when they are done and the faction thing will be just RPed out.
But if you do want to help and create a faction just mail me at [email protected]
Cheers all.
