Okay, so the textures on the firefly transport are currently TERRIBAD and need to be replaced.
I know plenty of people here know how to texture, but I figured I'd lend a hand and see if anyone can convert these images (this image, technically) into a high rez texture for the ship in-game:
Such an awesome ship deserves awesome textures, right now it looks like they were made in paint.
Second... would it be possible for someone to model the firefly shuttles? I know we hate imports here, but we already have one ship so it couldnt hurt. I'd suggest having these shuttles made by the same manufacturer ("Generic" Bretonian manufacturing company) as freighter-class ships, 490 or so cargo space with high armor and decent manuverability but only a couple of guns:
Also, I think the stats on the firefly itself need to be re-visited in 4.85. Currently, the firefly has 3500 cargo space / 450 bots+bats / 8 Turrets / 100,000 Hull at the price of 40 million~ credits. Compare that to the pirate transport, which has 3400 cargo space / 450 bots+bats / 9 turrets / 115,000 hull at the price of 28 million~ credits, and you see a problem.
The firefly costs 10 million credits more than the pirate transport, but has 1 less turret, 15k less hull, and only 100 more cargo space. I dont really think 100 cargo space equals up to 10 million credits.
Suggestions:
-Buff the firefly up to 4000 cargo space
OR
-Make the firefly's 8 turrets all capable of firing 360 degrees, so it can actually fight off enemies or pirate
OR
-Give the firefly an extra 50k~ armor
Any one of those would make up for the extra price, as currently even it's manvuerability is pretty close to the pirate trans.
