Smuggeler Freighter

Tue Aug 19, 2003 9:04 pm by Warlord Bob

Wouldn't it be nice... A ship a little bigger than the Dromidary, looking a little cooler (but still with that skin) with say 400/500 cargo space. Plus the manuverability to cruise through and asteroud field on "go to" and not hit too many rocks. About the same as Dromidary, but if its too much bigger there could be problems. Than make it bristle with about 10 turrets and a small number of foreward facing guns. The idea here is to hide behind a powerful lvl10 freighter shield and use turrets to reduce any attackers. Dual thrusters might be good, maby dual shields too. Any other ideas?

P.S.:The reason Im posting this is that I don't know how to make mods so if someone who does is bored... here is somthing to do!

um... hi

If you read how to mod ships from one of the tutorials then you could do it your sefl! I would explain how to mod the existing drom, or just make another using the drom as a template (basically just create a new ship using the droms files - but without overwriting the drom - so new ship, same body - new stats though) However - its best to try stuff for yourself........especially before someone else does all the work for you!

p.s - that means give it a go!!!! its sooo much more satisfying!

i think a good smuggler ship that would resemble a "smugglers ship" would be like

Guns/turrets: 2-5
Armor: 2500
Good Handleing
Cargo Space: 250
Small size.

Because a smuggler would want a ship that could move in quick, attack a transport, get the cargo, get out, and because of the small size, it would be hard to hit by pursuers.

But thats me...

Well man, i'm a fixer for ALG Waste Desposal.

Smugglers dont attack transports... pirates do.

Millenium falcon is not frelancer, much too much starwarsy...

Just get the CSV and set it to that, thats what it is designed for...

No more Star Wars...gosh darn, I sooooo sick of the Star Wras plague on Freelancer.

Now, on MP servers I just play/run Freighters. I've found that anything bigger than a Humpback is tougher to manage in a fight. If they were a bit more manuverable, then, perhaps yea, it would be better. But the bigger they are, the easier they get wasted. A CSV is okay, but damn, I can't see 300 Load out on a ship that looks like an over sized toilet seat. (Even with a spacial condensation generators...or whatever FL uses to explain small ships with big cargos...) Just doesn't "look" right for the size and load ratio.
