Ship Designs
I am concerned with the number of extremely "schlocky" ship designs available for download on the game.
I am not patient enough to use the 3-D modeling software, but I have quite a number of ship designs that I would like to see incorporated into a mod if someone is willing to work with me on it.
Staying true to the "canon" of Freelancer is something I consider important, this means I would never want to create a ship or weapon that is part of another genre. It also means that I would consider the evolution of the current ships available in the game as a logical first step towards newer designs. This is how innovation generally takes place. Radical designs are too costly to mass produce. It is more efficient and cost-effective to use designs and parts one already has on hand.
