You can tell the Colonial warriors on Rogue Ideas that they have bretheren on disco 24/7 that even now lobby to the Lords of Disco Kobol for new equipment to use. Until now we have been alone in our prayers, but with more souls appealing to the gods perhaps we might get an answer...
We do not need any more BSG ships on Discovery. They take away from the original feeling of Freelancer, something this mod has done well already in keeping. I think we need people to find or make new and original Ideas to the game.
Aye, at least some of the SW ships fit into the game, but the BSG ones... They aren't freelancer. I like BSG, but its not in the same universe. I think adding more ships would be a mistake.

Well im with you buddy, i am the Clan Leader of the BattleStar Clan and yes a couple more ships wont go a miss, take away a few star wars ones and we will get more clan members lol
Not trying to rain on anyone's parade here, but...
This is Freelancer, not BSG. I would much rather see origonal ships that look Freelancer-ish then ships modled and named after ships from other shows or places. When you download discovery, you're downloading an enhancement to the storyline of Freelancer. Just because we have ships from BSG or SW does not make it a BSG or SW oriented mod.
This is the real true story of rock and roll; it was not about anything more then, how to live your life, as a gangster, in sartorial splendor, and turning the world into a place where normality would never return again...- Malcolm McLaren
I have to second Kane on this. With the two people around here that seem to want to do the ships, I'd venture into suggesting a redesign of the existing non-FL ships to a more appropriate look (Outcast Dreadnought for example can be made off of the basic Sabre design) and if they want/can spend enough time on it, also making the custom hitboxes and 'detacheable' parts. Then alltogether removing the ones we have now.
It would make Discovery even more unique and 'an extent to the original game'.
If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God? - from 'Nightfall' by I. Asimov The Outcasts consider Siniestre Nube a sacred place for several reasons. Early explorers discovered a jumphole within the depths of the cloud that leads to a strange world of ringed stars and strange craft. All ships in the burrial ground are placed facing that hole to honor the Alien Spirits. - An Outcast rumor
Im sorry guys but both kane and nightfall are right. We have discussed many times in the past about adding more SW, BSG and hell even star trek ships but everytime the feedback from the majority has been a definate no. personally i feel that it is the right choice for all the reason all ready posted. Sorry guys but thats the way it is. Ill gladly shut up if igiss decrees that this will change though.

BSG ships don't just .... look FL-ish. They have a weird feeling to them. I think they should be taken out completely. They're not even that good! I dunno, that would kinda kill the BSG clan, but the Viper doesn't even look like a FL ship.
I am a long-absent Supreme Commander, Executive Commander, Grand Admiral, Fleet Admiral, and Captain in the mighty Hellfire Legion. I have returned, and am on an urgent mission from Drake Thastus to return the Legion to its former glory, and to claim the galaxy for its own. Only then will I be able to rest.
RP Story (Still deciding whether or not to finish)
So, in other words, since BSG ships should disappear, maybe a whole clan should as well?
It's the players, that create this community, not sets of pixels and scripts. Although they too are important, what would we now be flying if it wasn't for mods? sabres, titans, eagles...maybe a few more courageous fellows would dare to use non-modded heavy fighters. They would certainly be as much FL-like as possibe. There is so much talk about RP, those BSG ships, vipers, battlestars, raiders...They actually created an opportunity for excellent RP. The BSG clan is an example. Each of the house factions has the following set of ship classes: light fighter, LF mark II, heavy fighter, VHF (even 2 as in Liberty), a gunboat, cruiser or other medium-weight, capital vessle and a battleship (The Liberty even have a carrier, which is so FL-like, that George Lucas would be proud of it) I say: Give us what all already have(And not always use). Besides, if you need a comparison between FL and BSG, look at the Dagger and Viper MK VII, Both are blue, both have a lenghtened bow, both have wings...The VII is only a bit slimmer and has an upper wing, which the dagger lacks. There are also lots of ships, that don't resemble the FL style at all: Raven's talon, claw, the talon, slipsteram, not to mention most (if not all) of the newly added capital ships. As for the BSG ship's quality:
Quote:They're not even that good!
Well, what can i say... It is not or fault, that a lightly armored VHF due to some mysterious reasons, handles like a titan-the best-armored vanilla VHF. It's the numbers, not the looks, that make a spacecraft god or bad. Besides, of you, gentlemen stress the imprtance of "Freelancerness" so much, there still are many active FL 1.0 servers availible.They surely will fulfill your need for FL purity:crazy:
