The only mod i know that has all of the cap ships is the Freelancer Massive Addon 1.2. and i don't think there's anything else.

If you have FLMM, you can activate the mod called cheap realistic battleship mod. It comes with the download.

Other than that.... LOOK IN THE DOWNLOAD SECTION

The battleship mod that comes with FLMM sucks.
It takes a couple minutes to turn around.
literally.
I'm not exagerrating, or however you spell it.
Although if you're competent, you could open the mod with word and edit the turning speed of the ship.
If you could turn it around fast, you could swing your ship around to hit people.
That would be funny.

thx for the info, ive tryed the battle ship mod for the nomads that came with fmm and ive got to say that thing sucks balls.. i go faster backwards than forwards, does have bichen guns though.. and the gunboat mod is pritty cool.

if some one found another mod where you can fly cap ships plz let me know.

Please watch the use of words. This is a family-oriented site.


The cap ships are SUPPOSED to have bad turning. They are not supposed to be able to turn on a dime and give you 9 cents back. Just think.... Those things are atleast 500 meters long, they ain't fighters.

you don't have to turn to fire at the other fighters. Just press 'h' to go into turret view. then fire upon the ships. That is much easier.

That is kinda funney that the nomad battleship goes faster in reverse. They are only supposed to go a certain percentage of the total engine thrust.

oh, I forgot.

You can download a mod that enables the Osiris to be used. Check the downloads section.

thank you xeno...

get used to the poor maneuverability. That's what makes them fun to fly. And just think about it- how fast would a battleship that flies like a fighter get old? Nothing would be able to touch you, not even nomads, so you'd inevetably get bored because total invinceability is only amusing for so long.

bship, cruiser, and gunboat mods can be pretty fun- fighting nomads in a rheinland gunboat is a great distraction, especially since they actually have the potential to hurt it. I prefer to mount undersized shields on capital ships when I use those mods, though, to add a bit of challenge to flying them.

The manuevarability is not fun when it takes an hour to turn around just to dock on a planet. I don't care how realistic it makes it.

then don't use the cap ship mods.

If you are going to use them, don't complain. Because WE DON"T WANT TO HEAR IT.

Post Wed Aug 13, 2003 8:41 pm

does any one else have the problem when you try to dock with the planet or in warp jump it crashes?
