New Mod anouncement, The Great War
Me and a friend are starting this mod, we are keeping it in the freelancer universe just a few years down the line after the nomad war. Rheinland has become increasingly militant and, after a huge military buildup and alliance with the corairs, began a full invasion attempt of Bretonia space. The invasion was repelled thanx to a new alliance with liberty space.
The British defend their borders against constant attacks on mining a civilisation targets by the rhienlands, unable to launch a counter attack they aide the seriously damaged Bounty hunter faction (suffering because of the rheinland corsair alliance) with supplies in exchange for espionage acts and information.
The warzone between liberty space and rheinland space is the most violent, the Rheinlanders beleive they were robbed of their victory by Liberty navy and attempt to make them pay in any way possible.
Meanwhile Kusari space remains quiet and neutral, spy reports indicate a large allocation of Kusari resources to attacking the Nomads on their own soil, disturbing information about hybred ships has led to many unanswered questions from the Liberty Navy, they are afraid to threaten for the information however fearing an assault on both fronts.
....
Just a basic story (probably think too much)
I'm hoping to add 2 new fighters to each race, a new freighter and a special ship. the special ships will be.....
Rheinland Artillery ship. weak at close range but able to launch 3 torpedos.
Liberty "Blue Midget" Superfast scout ship
Bretonia "Scouser" Amazingly tough freighter, running supplies to Bounty hunters
Kusari "Prototype" Medium fighter with infinite weapon power.
Also each race wil have their own strenghs
Liberty: good battery and nanobot capacity, fast ships, mostly guns
Bretonia: Large ships with excellent armour and cargo, mostly turrets
Rheinland: Good power supply, nice armour, low cargo and low speed
Kusari: Excellent Armour and speed, low weapons and batteries
Other points...
All factions will receive an extra ship at least
The nomads will be extended heavily. Though with the texture problems here I may replace with another organic race. I want these to house a spherical ship which can attack in any system but rarely.
there will be at least 6 top leavel ships, (I like choice)
Battle ships, Gunboats and cruisers will be seriously enhanced for encounters
there will be two hidden ship (very hidden) not much better than top level, maybe 5 percent.
All ships will be freeware, the community is welcome to them.
I attach a picture, I appreciate any feedback...
Achilles.
