Big Ships in FreelanceR?

Wed Dec 03, 2003 7:05 pm by eXe

Hi,

After looking at all the ships in Freelancer (the fly-able 1:es from this site),
I really wonder why in HELL there are no BIG ships in Freelancer?
I mean, wouldn't it be cool to fly a big battleship or titan or something?

And maybe the battleship/titan could have docking places, for my friends to dock in?

Just getting so damn pissed, I hate space-sim games without BIG fly-able ships :@

btw big ships arent all they are cracked up to be

Big ships are hard to drive, can't dock everywhere, and isn't always easy to fight.

Life: No one gets out alive.

still, I'd like the chance to at least FLY 1.
if they are bad - then I'll stick to fighters, but seriously - why the hell are smaller ships, like cruisers, not in the game?

It's making me sooooooo mad!
Can someone here help me with cruisers or something bigger?
Or shall I just leave Freelancer on my bookshelf and wait for "X2 The Threat" or "Universal Combat"?

can you give me a name of some good ship mods, with well built, nice looking, BIG ships?

would be great =)

Battleships and Cruisers would cause problems with the storyline, but I don't know why they didn't put it in at high levels or in MP.

Why the hell didn't they put them in?

yeah it's a shame =(

so, what is the biggest FLY-able ship in Freelancer?
I belive it's 1 of the Freighters...

I'm gonna get myself a Dromedary, and I really damn hope it's a HUGE ship

(Or else I'll buy a other frighter, if someone can come up with a tip of a bigger 1 than Dromedary) =)

You wanna try it? Download one of my mods - the OpenSP one will be best. Then - activate it (use latest FLMM versions) and pick your ship of choice from the options menu. WARNING - only pick capships if you are willing to start on planets. Suggest that you use stuff like manhatten - and a rheinland battleship. Then find out why you might not think they are as cool as they should be......

Give it a go........they are as they should be in the game.....(no shields, thrusters or other such luxuries).

Yeah, it sucks that you can't.
I heared that the biggest fighter you can fly is some slowturning, whale-like, big@ss fighter.

It's better to chase a rabbit then to catch a hare...

In your original post you said it would be cool to fly a titan. You can, it's for sale on the cossairs home plannet (the name escapes me at the moment, I'm outcast orriented). Its got the most armor, but flies like a dead cow. And no, I do not mean to start a best ship thread. --- RR16

Whoever came up with "Mission Commision" should be lined up and shot

If you want a good Cap. Ship mod, get TNG 1.7
Make sure you are either willing to put in 5+ hours in MP to get a cap ship. Or, you could always get an open SP mod, and ioncross char editor, and go into SP, make a file, then edit it to get you more money, then you can buy a cap ship.

See you in space!
