true, try the rebalance mod though, once i fix it from causing FL to crap out, im getting on and saving up for a gunboat on my mod server. ps: can you get battleships in that mod?

nope no battleships in flrb

I didn't like Rebalance. The inclusion of ships from other universes was dumb, totally breaks the illusion and the immersion of Freelancer. The "rebalanced" sections of the game also seemed to be poorly thought out and just plain weird, like class 3-5 Rogue lasers being 3.03 refire, but all the other classes are 8.33? WTF? That kind of half-finished work really turned me off to FLRB.

I wish there was a REAL rebalance mod... a mod that rebalances the existing ships, not add a bunch of crap like Star Wars A-wings. What I want, simply put: all ships are capable of carrying class 10 weapons and shields, and all ships around 6000-8000 armor. That would make for a more varied choice in ships being flown by players, no more relying solely on VHF (Sabre, Eagle, Titan, Hammerhead) which are nothing more then generic now, they are so overused.

Tasiin, they were redone for the insanely god-like star wars ships before the new version added new weapons for them. there's no balance to it all whatsoever but it still provides a break from normal FL (until you make enemies with the rheinland military, who have fleets in every system)

but i agree a true rebalance mod would be great. light fighters with the cargo size of a small ferighter just doesn't do it for me.

erm back on topic, elite is having some network problems.

Hmm a ships that can carry level 10 guns and stuff, all that would do is, move from VHF to LF with those stats because they would then outfly and out manouver (spelling?) the ships used now, that isnt rebalancing the gameplay,
If you dont think thats the case, take a mirage from starlancer and add reverse thrust to it and try it against a shroud in starlancer, you will see what i mean, a true rebalance mod would require 12 months of work, at least, and most people are too busy or addicted to FL to attempt such a task properly.
