Bretonia gunboats

Fri Mar 19, 2004 2:45 pm by Wash

Bretonia has cool gunboats with special weapons. You see them around but they have no part in the story line. Has anybody encountered these ships on a mission? Maybe I ought to attack one and see what happens.

Is there a mod where you can fly one of these gunboats?

You can use the Open SP mod to use ships like battleships, cruisers and gunboats. You can see the gunboats normally in the Tau systems too.

Many of the larger mods available unlock capital ships for sale at various places. I know Rebalance does

How comes only Bretonia and Rhienland have gunboats? I've seen a Kusari or Liberty gunboat before. Maybe they just never had time to incorporate them?

Kusari do have gunboats. Liberty don't, no idea why

Maybe the Liberty people voted down the gunboat idea because then they would break some treaty with the other houses. maybe it's an insider political problem and they just don't want to build up. Wait, I got it, a gunboats purpose is primarily for patrols and junk like that. Maybe the Gunboat's role doesn't fit in with the tactics of Liberty. Just a thought.

They probably figured that they didn't need any gunboats to fight the low-level criminal elements in Liberty space.

THey didnt think at that moment. But now they are about to have the crap kicked out of them by Rheinland. Great thinking there. History always repeats itself. Someone will always betray the others.

Rheinland, Bretonia and Kusari all have gunboats. Liberty has the Aggressor fighter. Its that simple.

I have never EVER encounter one single capital ship/gunboat in the unmodded version of freelancer, that is of course not counting the storyline and the battleships like missouri...=)

If you go to cambridge, and then head to the base that is off of the moon at the end of a tradelane (top right of nav map...), then you will see gunboat patrols around there - bretonian ones.

I keep encountering the Bretonian gunboats out around the Omega systems. It's pretty funny, but their favorite spot seems to be camping out between the trade lanes in the general region of Freeport-1 (Omega-3 system: Edge Worlds territory).

I also ran into one in the Omega-1 system, although it just made a pass through the area, then headed out through the jump gate to Omega-3.

the gunboat was too big for the battleship and i could see right through the gunboat.[i did not use open sp
