Are those ship models on the front page from DriftingGhost13b's Privateer Ship Pack the same as in your mod? If not, does he have some that you need?

Sir Spectre:
1) No, those aren't from our mod.
2) I considered using all of them, because they have cockpits, which ours don't.
Unfortunately, they're not in-scale with each other, or, with our ships:
The Taurus and Orion are the same size as the Talon, and all three are the size of our Orion.
And, IMHO, our Talon's and Taurus look better.
The Centurion, IMHO, doesn't look as good as ours, and it's bigger than our Thunderbolt VII.
The Galaxy is about the size of a Rheinland Gunboat, and the cockpit is not quite right on the sides.
The Gladius seems a bit boxy, to me.
Not that I'm knocking his mod...
It's a nice collection of ships, and it works quite well.
It's just that, after playing our mod 10+ hours/day, the ships in his mod don't quite feel/look right.
StarNova:
The term "BETA" in the name should have told you that it had bugs.
The mod, and Freelancer, has so much in it, that finding some bugs is almost impossible for one person, me, to do by themselves.
A "Beta" release, oftimes, is the only way to find some of them.
Watch your 6!

Update:
"Fixed" the asteroid fields:
Some were dispensing Liquor, Plaything Magazine, Wood, Appliances, and Robot Servants.
Except for the Drone, and the Vaktoth, all of the ships are back in the mod.
I've arranged it so that the Mercs are flying the Centurion, Demon, Morningstar, Orion, and the Stiletto.
The Orion is much tougher than before.
The Paradigm is now the Bretonia and Kusari Destroyers.
The Crossbow is the Bretonia and Kusari Gunboats.
The Broadsword is now the Rheinland Gunboat.
The Banshee, Centurion, Galaxy, and the Orion, show up more in the missions.
I'm hoping to have the MTalon fixed, and a texture for the Galaxy, before the next release.
I'm half-way through the missions.
I'm planning a new release for this weekend.

Warzog and the team:
I gotta say this mod keeps getting better and better. I'm looking froward to it's completion.
I do have a small issue to raise however. I've attempted to fly every ship currently available in the 2.4 build, and most seem to fit the feel of their original games. Except that is for the Banshee Mk II. It seems to me that to counter balance it's speed and manueverability it's weapon max levels should be reduced. The Banshee in it's current configuration with a balanced spread of generators, shields and guns out classes every single fighter in the game.
Don't get me wrong. I loved the Banshee in WC IV, but it's gone from being an older light fighter to a light fighter with very heavy fighter weapons capacity.
Just my humble opinion of course.
Keep up the outstanding work!

Sabre29:
I agree with you about the Banshee.
Unfortunately, that particular ship was made by PantherX, who's not a member of the mod's team.
I got permission to use the ship in our mod, but, as he set it up.
So, it is.
Black_Phoenix:
The Vaktoth's left wingtip is about 80% invisible, still.
The Demon is invisible beyond about 70 meters.
(And it IS the model, not the settings.)
And the PTalon/MTalon won't fire missiles on the Torpedo Hardpoints.
The Galaxy is causing the game to constantly look for texture 0, can you get it to stop? It eats up game resources.
(I think that the Taurus and Orion have a similar problem.

Warzog, I thought that you got the Demon...and said that it worked.
Warzog:
Am I wrong...again?

Warzog:
Chemus:
They WORKED!!!
I need the MTalon, too!
(The RTalon is the same as the PTalon, and is out of the mod.)
Update:
The Demon is back in the mod!

Waaahh... *drool* I love the Centurion...
However it seems that the words on the side are somewhat backwards and covered up by the wing (it still looks sexy/deadly) but that's just FYI.
By the way, Warzog, you were right about the FP7 scene, awsome job! But stupid Trent keeps lying to people about losing his ship there (I bet he was trying to scam Lonnigan out of $1,000,000)
Wow, the mod is pretty tough. It's as tough as Privateer (Damn missiles keep knocking out my shields and destroying my guns)! But there are like three Kilrathi Factions and one of them (used to be outcasts I think) fly Banshees. That and the fact that Kilrathi pilots have names like Sam Jones and Bob Fentworth, that is just confusing. Can you give the Kilrathi more, um, alien names?
Could you balance the resale value of some equipment? $3,000 resale for a $20,000 gun doesn't seem fair (unless you have a reason due to repair costs and salvage profit).
I hope you can get the Capital ships back in the mod, and the fact that I find liquor in asteroids is pretty wierd...
Good work guys. I love this so much...
EDIT: I kinda wanted to see what the Orion looked like when the pilot was drunk in the FP7 cinematic.
Also is the Stilleto skin supposed to look, eh... ....Crappy?
All the Kilrathi ship skins look excellent except the Jalthi (sic, the one that is the heavy fighter in privateer) that is sold at junker bases. It's skin looks really bland compared to the others. But I certainly couldn't do better, so whatever...
Keep it up!
