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:
