Das Wilde...

[Mouse™]

Das Wilde are taken over ships/pilots by nomads.

The scorpion...
Shouldn't guns and their ships look... mutated to some degree?

OR-

Reason behind not having mutated ships/tech?


DISCUSS!

Why?
Why would you need to 'mutate' the ship or weapons if you're in control of the pilot?

---

[Mouse™]

Because:

1. nomad ships are alive.
2. nomads 'infest' hosts
3. nomads should have the ability to 'infest' ships in a sense.

They infested humans because they don't have the ability to infest ships or build ships of their own. The infected humans build the Nomad combat army. The Nomads themselves are squishy, although they emit something similar to shield it only takes one ship shot to kill it (in RP). The infecting of humans with opposabble thumbs and stuff gives Nomads access to metal ship with shields and tech and stuff.

Imo, awesome idea (HW:C Beast much) but it would mean that somebody would have to model, hitbox, hitpoint and ballance them.

It was just an idea, possibly someone may take the time to create some nice mutated ships.

Nothin' much, just added blue tendrils on the ships they already have, such as infected wraith.

This is Freelancer, not Homeworld.

If you play through the campaign there is no "infected" ships the way you describe them. Only infected human hosts who fly normal ships, the Scorpion is a Drone created by the Nomnoms anyways, not an infected ship.

The biggest argument for this would be the LNS-Tundra. As for a modeling issue, could be 'solved' by modeling weapons for Das Wilde that were 'infected'. Because of how they would attach it would look by extension the fighter was infected. However this has the potential of clipping issues.

Ooops, I completely forgot about the Tundra. :$

I kinds see what he means have a ship like the wraith but have it Definitely Different from a normal wraith in some way nomad like engines maybe or a different Texture like the wraiths maybe?
