Freelancer 3d models and dimensions

[Nightfall]

Swords fail in Sci-Fi? The Jedi/Sith in Star Wars fail? Dune anyone (they used rapiers and knives) fail too? Even the Klingons in Star Trek? A lot of others I can't remember right now?... I'm not sure but I think I even saw Rheinland or Bretonian NPCs (guards!?) in Freelancer (in the bars) carrying some long blade kind of officer saber thing.

I think no one would like a stray projectile or beam hitting anything too volatile inside a spaceship or puncture the hull. Decompression would be extremely unpleasant, same with sucking vacuum if you survive the decompression or explosion in the first place, not to mention that no one would like to blow up the ship up. Not much sense in boarding it in the first place then.

As for the guy being green, the color of skin isn't final but let's say that Darkstar granted him/her the wish but added some genetic engeneering of his own (btw, found the link).:P

Melee weps definitely ftw.... nothing like a bit of good ol' hack and slash, sci-fi style, haha:D

Hey you forgot one.... original Battlestar Galactica, the Cylon centurions used them for executions and such:)

[Lux]

Final Fantasy... seems to be in the future, but they use melee weapons too:D

@onca: this is the Discovery I remember - from proportions of the vehicles over character design to melee weapons:P

@Hellfire0: exactly, though wielding a katana twice the size of the char would be quite a stretch, even fitting it inside the cockpit:)(speaking of which, Kristy Pride is going to have a problem... how come no one thought of that?)

@Exile:

Gray skin better?

and a new one today, fresh out of the clone tanks:

Jonathan Pryde of the Black Squadron (Wolfpack98's gonna want him now on every sig he has:lol:)

[Nightfall]

On a creative streak tonight... a part of the atmosphere on Corsica:


@Templar18: I'm not back, not ingame definitely, just this thread on the forum and PMs (email notifications LOL).

@Nieck & Mike: The "Legacy of Cain" (OC Destroyer) is going to be black with red details (like the Halloween "Area 58" is with orange details). I might add elven archers to shoot magic arrows at bombers.:haha:

Long time ago I actually started an RP story about stealing a prison liner. Basically what the pirates did was stand on the out side of trade ring, disabled the ring via a jerry-rigged emp device (Not big enough to take out the electronics in thier suits) and let the liner and its escort fall into real space.

Since not attack took place, the escort made a quick patrol, decided there was no threat and proceeded through the now re-activated ring. A second device was detonated, which again disabled the ring and signaled a pack of bloodhound to come out from behind junk debris and catch the escorts off gaurd.

The kicker bit that ties in with the sub-topic of archiac weaponry in sci-fi is when the prison ship was passing through the ring, (Even though it was disabled the ship has mass and would not be able to stop moving until it was half way through) the pirates fired magnetic graplers attached arrows which were fired from compond bows. This allowed the pirates onto the hull which gave them the ability to breach the ship via a window on the bridge, and take control.

If you think about it there are many ways you can use old tech in a sci-fi setting. It has more to do with aplication of design then the design itself.

Rico, just a little comment about the bar guard. Your description says "Is not happy 'bout the guy on the other side of the gun". Mebbe make him look like that? Make him go all "Rawr growl growl ect". Since right now he looks abit like he's taking target practice inside a bar. Blank, neutral, un-angry-ish.
