( i m confused and impressed, - why does my freelancer version not play that extended video? )
but if the ships are lifeforms itself - with a brain and neural system, what are the nomads as we see them in the cutscenes then? - those that appear to possess humans.
being a lifeform would explain why they have no shields, having a durable skin they would not need a shield, i d guess as they would "heal" damage like a living thing.
one more thing - do the nomads in the orginal version have a cruise? - i think not. so no cruise, no "weapons" as we know them, no shields - then it makes sense.
in terms of our game, i d be neat if they had no shields or anything, but a regeneration of the hull and a high resistance to radiation or immunity even.
anyway, nicely done - just one thing .. whats the spinning/glowing lights in the battleship.:D(had to ask that since the nomad ships are one of the very few ships that actually have animated parts)
edit: yea - that guy Blix - what was that one about? i allmost forgot about him. is he supposed to be infested? or what...
