LF, HF, VHF, Fr...and other oddities
Something just occurred to me-there aren't any medium fighters. Heavy, Very Heavy, and Light fighters, but no mediums. Only one question here: Why not just call the Heavy Fighters Mediums, and the VHF's Heavies? Would it BE that hard? Or did they just want an excuse to use "Very" in a class designation? Or did they just not want to use the initials MF for a class, because so many people would start calling it the Mother F***** class? Eruuummm...riiight.
And also, has anyone else noted a certain similarity between the Marine Boarding Ship of Starlancer and the CSV of Freelancer? Could the basic design (minus the droppable cargo pod and with a relocated engine) have survived the exodus and been re-worked as a Combat/Salvage Vehicle?
On a last note, the Liberty Patriot seems to draw a lot of its design from that Alliance fighter in the intro...could Liberty be honoring its origins, or just using a proven design? It seems to be the former, since a good kick in the shin will blow it up.
Just some more of my random babblings.
Reaper: $200,000,000.
Rockets: $100,000
The look on that pilot's face when you launch a full pod of screamers up his tailpipe: priceless
Officer: "Freelancer, what happened to the transport you were escorting?"
Me: "He told me my ship looked wierd...I invited him to have intimate relations with my SunSlayer"
