Hmm...I wouldn't want an FL ship in real life. Real Life physics would put the smackdown on all of the FL ships.

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

i'd use a modified humpback... why a humpback u ask? i'd install a treadmill like track in the big ring that is the cargo hold so i could maintain my muscles incase i have to walk in/on something that has sufficent gravity. and i would have reverse thrusters so i have a way of stopping myself.

Courage isn't the ability to fly head on into the jaws of death with an arrogant smile. Its the ability to run away from a couple of Xenos and face the laughter.

the drake;
small enough to go unnoticed, and damn hard to hit
carries a semi decent weapons loudout to make most think twice
decent enough cargo bay to make nice and small run with decent profit : engine components/gate parts/cardamine/diamonds.($30-35k), as well as being able to handle most lvl 20-30 missions.

brute force isnt always the best answer. Sure, i may be forced to run from a titan or eagle if i am jumped at the wrong time, but i will escape, the escape will be a thrill ride , and you wont get what you were after, which i find immensely satisfying, and you will be all nice and pissed off



Just my $0.02, but it could just be the cardamine talking.

In REAL LIFE? I'll take a 747-400, out-fit the cabin to be more luxurious than the VC-25 US presidential transport, with hot water shower and spa etc... but then I won't have the money to pay maintenance and parking fee, so I'll sell it to some rich oil tycoon in the Middle East and make a huge profit out of it!

Yes...I would also take a freighter and live with it...missions are too dangerous, and I'd try to be a Zoner like someone said, to be neutral to everyone.

Heck, in real life I want one of these:

Silly question,but probably what is the most advanced right now maybe from any of the secret military installations like area-51.Usually they have some very insteresting tech. but what do I know.

Post Sat Jun 21, 2003 8:14 pm

well, in real life i whould like the tie fighter or x-wing and explore all the planets.. but if you must choose a FL ship i'd love the dromadary or the nice stiletto!

if a naked woman and a naked man is about 2 meters between each other the complete friction should be 0

well it would be the buck rogers ship from the latest version of that sereis
( god i'm old) and why are there no mods for that? any how just loose the dogs of war.

Stand back I don't know how big it gets.

i will take the white starcruiser , with 4 diamondback in the extra 4 class 10 weapon-slot

but of unmodded i will take the drake (vrey hard to hit and can outturn almost every1 )

i did with a drake (in my own, no help) a 120k mission from crete, base destroy, thus VHF can't hit me good

Post Mon Jun 23, 2003 12:36 pm

it would be cool with a sabre but in real life you could do some damage with any ship!!!!! but a sabre would be cool (imagine the chicks)

Post Wed Jun 25, 2003 5:28 pm

I would take a Liberty Dreadnaught with a full bay of fighters and own the solar system.

Or

I would take a Cruiser ( oh that front gun is gonna get a work out )

Post Thu Jun 26, 2003 3:43 pm

I'd take a Liberty cruiser, recruit a crew from these FL forums and then take over the world.

Or maybe just take a fast and nimble ship (like the drake or dagger) and fly around shining as I'd have the only good space ship on Earth
