Freelancer: New Universe mod

I'm still in finals, so development will begin in one week.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Freelancer: New Universe

The Border Worlds had long been populated by the Nomads, Corsairs, Outcasts, and others. Expeditions by any of the Houses were almost impossible. However, a joint expedition with parts from all Houses finally managed to break through. The expedition was composed of several battleships and cruisers. The flagship was the RNC Bismarck, Rhineland's newest battleship.

By this time, the Corsairs and Outcasts had formed a tenacious alliance. They soon became the fifth house- Hispania. However, tensions were still high. Violence and crime was still common.

The expedition, going east of the Border Worlds soon found out that the Houses had overestimated the size of Nomad territory. But they found out more. It was a shock to every group in Sirius.

There were more Houses.
Houses of the Coalition.

The first Coalition House was discovered. The residents called their house 'Moskva'. Apparently made up of Russian cultured people, they were hostile to their newfound neighbors. The expedition was almost completely destroyed, with just a few ships limping back to Hispania.

War broke out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
NEW FEATURES:

New fighter classes: Light Bomber, Interceptor
New items and ships for the new Houses
Entirely new sector with four new Houses
Companies and pirate factions for each House
More TBA

I have decided to reaveal some more things.
First of all, there are no Gun/Missile slots, only one or the other.
All LFs or HFs capable of a torpedo/cruise disruptor slot now have a missile/cruise disruptor slot.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Interceptor:
A relatively new class of ship, the Interceptor, despit being lightly armed and not very durable, is very fast, very maneuverable, and cheap. Their main purpose is an alternative to the light fighter, which is more of a civilian spacecraft.

General traits:
Low amounts of guns, four maximum, no turrets
Much faster speeds- 120 maximum dry thrust (no afterburner)
Low armor- even less than the House's Light Fighter class
Fast-activating cruise engines
Low cargo space

Light Bomber:
Another new innovation, the Light Bomber, is actually a modified Heavy Fighter. It has a bit of additional armor, as its main duty is not anti-fighter work but anti-capital ship. It sacrifices lasers for torpedo and missile slots. However, a swarm of them can be deadly to a capital ship.

General traits:
Low amounts of guns- maybe just 2
However, the guns will retain the weapon class of it's HF cousin.
Slightly lower speed than the Heavy Fighter
Slightly higher armor than the Heavy Fighter
More torpedo and missile slots

Heavy Bomber (non-flyable):
The Heavy Bomber is a multi-crewed ship. It's cousin is the Gunboat. It sacrifices tain turret slots for torpedo and missile slots.

Carrier (non-flyable):
The Carrier is a new addition to the naives of the Houses. Unlike the Battleship, which is designed to destroy other capital ships, the Carrier is designed to carry spacecraft. It is even more armored and armed than the Battleship, and carries more fighters with more docks for rapid access, or, if need be, rapid defense. These behemoths of the battlefield are extremely expensive. Even totalitarian, militaristic governments can only afford a handful.

Aztek, have you figured out how to change the labels on the universe map?
