Pyro GX

OK, if anyone here does not believe that the Pyro GX from Descent 1, 2, and the start of three is the coolest Light Fighter ever made, please raise your hand.

All who raised your hands give me a perfectly good reason.

Nah. Back to topic. I just want to know, that if someone made a new Pyro GX for Freelancer, would you download it? I would, and I know millions of others who would too.

If you could get it HANDLE like a Pyro I would be ALLLLLL over that, as I would just RULE at PvP.

Before D3 came out (and Collage took up to much of my time) I used to be a BIG part of the Descent Online community and played with the likes of Karash, DrDon, Strap, and the other true gods of the game. While I never beat any of them I was good enought to challange them and gave them a good game. I was also the only one to fly at that level keyboard only, so I would not need a joystick (sense you cant use one with FL ANYWAY) to fly circles around most players I have seen in Freelancer.

hmmmm...

The link doesnt work.... I am a huge fan of descent,, and the Pyro is v cool.... someone actually exported one and tried to adapt it to Freelancer.. however if I recall it was mega polys so the project was abandoned... I could have a go if someone has a model... there was a magnum floating about here a couple of months ago but that never made it either....

like some of the descent weapoms would also be very nice.. the plasma cannon and was it the swarm missiles in d3... the chaingun idea came partly from d3....

Though it could be remodelled from scratch.. what do you do with the fixed guns? ...it's a dilemma... use nomad .cmps and make invisible weapons..., someone buys the ship - gets the weapons, sells the ship - keeps the weapons which will mount happily on another ship..... but are invisible.. small point I know......

These are all pretty good ideas, and If I can find a way, I'll export the Pyro GX from the Descent 4 project and try to incorporate it.

The invisible weapons trick sounds good. The weapons aren't that hard to make.

Oh, and the physics, just give it excellent strafing speed and Bob's your aunt. Up and down, though. That's a different story.
