Pirate Cap Ships??

I would like to add cap ships to some of the Major Pirate groups like the Corsairs and Outcast, and Bundschuh. However, I want to keep it a freelancer environment, yet I do not want to use the House Navy ships any suggestions?

I think you'll need to make your own ships then, since afaik there's only house capital ships in the standard game.

i think that what he meant, I find scifi movies bring out the imagination best. Or you could download some free models and base it on them. (Not stealing, but useing them for inspiration)

Hey! A great idea for modders...

I kind of like the idea. I still think that house millitary should have more resources for things like capital ships than pirates though. I think it would be really good if it was limited to gunboat or just a bit bigger than gunboat sized for the bulk of the pirate fleet. Maybe with rare larger cruisers or battleships serving as strongpoints and the occasional encounter.

Yes that is what I was thinking nothing big at most a Cruiser, for your Corsairs and Outcast, then something like gunboats, example the Correlian Corvette for the other groups like the Rogues, but each one having a cap ship all their own ships. No cap ships for Junkers, Hogosha, GC, Gaians etc.

I also would love to replace the Nomad Battleships, fighters, and gunboats. They look out of place in the Freelancer world.

Again any suggestions on what ships to use for this project?

How about the Corsairs getting the overhauled Hispania? After all, its hull was strong enough to break through Coalition forces...

Ask permission to use one of the void mod battleships, they have a pirate one, but I highly doubt you'd get permission, maybe with a re-skin? Dunno, but its not going to be easy.

Quick thing about the Hispania: It would probably be for the Outcasts, seeing as they control it.

Another quick thing about the Hispania: It's a pile of junk, so it would look silly to have it as a battleship.

Well, the Osiris was a liberty prototype, so I would imagine just a reskinning of one of the battleships would do just fine.

You could also look through mods for BS's and pick the ones out that you like the most and email the maker of the model.
