Difficult Mod Request: Anyone Up To It?

I have a mod request that is a difficult one to say the least. I wanted to know if anyone was up to the task, or if anyone could make it period.

Its a custom ship mod...I want a custom ship moddled after a famous German battleship during WWII.

I won't say which one yet...I just wanna know if anyone is up to making it.

Hmm... I could give it a try... Have you tried looking for a low-poly 3ds or .max on google? I can find lots of stuff like that. You just need to get it in FL if you do find one. Anyway. I think I might be able to... Well... Its worth a shot anyway.

Sounds good.

The famous German battleship I'm referring to is, of course, the Bismarck.

There's probably thousands of pictures of the ship on google, yahoo, etc. I'm sure you can find different angles of it too.

A good 3D shot of it can be found here: http://home1.gte.net/konman/Bismarck.jpg

B-) Umm... That seems very challenging... Wait... Why do you want a ship in freelancer?

The idea of controlling the Bismarck has always seemed extremely appealing to me. Since Freelancer is all about ships and combat, I'd like to see the Bismarck in the Freelancer universe. Plus, I don't have any other games where the Bismarck would really belong.

why don't you just take the lib dreadnought and change it to be the Bismarck?

No, sorry, I don't.

Multiplayer doesn't work for me for some reason. I'll try to go on a server, get a message that I couldn't connect to the server, then the game freezes...which is very annoying.

I didn't know you could fly the Liberty Dreadnought...

Well... You cant. But you can make it so you can. You just need the model, and convert it to a ship like you do any other model.

No offence and all BUT... Why do you want to Captain a ship that sank before it got anywhere? Ok the desighn was for the finest ship ever built but that is somewhat overshadowed by it's pathetically short lifetime (head down)...

@karatekid88 - say hey to JK for me (anton/sir_tone/strawdog but i've not been on terms server for ages)

It may have been shortlived, but it was still VERY powerful. It had 15inch guns...which I think were the biggest for the time. Also, the famous and "powerful" battle cruiser HMS Hood was sunk by the Bismarck after 3 MINUTES of fighting...there were 3 survivors out of 1,500.

The ONLY reason the Bismarck was short lived was due to the fact a lucky torpedo shot hit it in the steering compartment and destroyed the rudders...it could only do 10 knots and couldn't turn...it was a sitting duck.

ok, i back down lol

re your game freezing - mine did that for a while - only when a server crashed or my line dropped tho. It cleared when i re-installed freelancer (full reinstall having uninstalled and deleted dir & registry settings)
