Quote:I was thinking about remaking the launch tubes, shorter and more Liberty themed. But I dont think I will remove them, since I wonder where the fighters might launch from otherwise. The mid section of the ship already has a huge "vent" like thing, so I couldn't easily make lateral launch gate.
Take some ques from battlestar. Their fighters launched out of individual tubes that came out of the sides of the ship.
In freelancer, when you dock or undock from a battleship, it's done through a single small airlock, not a huge runway in a tube. The concept doesnt fit with what 'vanilla' freelancer already portrays.
Rather than tubes, just put a number of 'airlocks' - like what battleships currently have - along the sides of the ship. A dozen on each side, for quick launching of fighters.
it'd look more like it belonged in FL than the runway tubes do.
