MS in Freelancer?

Hello all Freelancers out there!

I was curious after been reading the tutorials and at some point I read that you can create moving parts, so I was wondering if you can create let's say an head that turns 30¤ when you turn the "ship" or legs that hm... Let's say you are in cruise drive and then you stop, while the legs should be back postitioned the stop makes them go forth.
Or why not when entering the Cruise drive, the ship "transforms"?

I've been planning on creating a Mobile Suit (Gundam, Assult Suits Valkien and such stuff), that's why I'm asking this.

im curious where u read that.
to my knowledge you cant make ship models as animated models.

i would have a workaround for you though:
guns are swivel - they look into the diraction where you are looking to.
create a gun that doesnt shoot but it looks like the "head" of ur combat armor. should work

i'd personally love to see a flying spacesuit. its fun for sure. give it a single small gun, make it small, agile and fast and, ... hmm, rofl...
(just thought about incoming sunslayers...)

Well, it was in one of the "Tutorial" threds here..
Hey, Glad that there are more then just me who likes mobile suits!

That sounds like a good idé althou... I think or I hope that the head won't spin total around 180¤ but you gave me an idé, most Gundams have smal machine guns in the head so might a low Mk Lavablade or Justice in the head (2x) maybe?
I just got an Idé for making the arm move to, like adding the whole arm as a weapon.
Let's say you are chasing your opponet and he/she does an evasive manover and flies past your side while you still aim after him, the arm should move in order to aim after the enemy like if the whole arm is a weapon.
I think it should work, but it would probably look terrible if you use the "turretview" when he would turn his arm the opposit way.. Hm..

The CGUE, a more advance version of the GINN MS. Never saw mass production and only given to the best officers

Ofcourse it would be agile, it would be alot more agile then a StarFlier and remarkably much faster capable of out running most of the ships, maybe not outgunnerd... While I got another idé now haha

The Buster Gundam from Gundam SEED, the long range cannon as a weapon?
Additional two diffrent weapons perhaps?

And where the missiles fire from

Other things such as the SkyGrasper, Moebius or Moebius Zero would be good additions to the Freelancer universe with the classships.
Look at this site;

I think this might be great! What do 'everyone' who reads this think?
(hm.. This might become a MOD someday?)
