Mid sized transports

[SA_Scavenger]

Let me be clear then.

Are we getting a better firefly model soon?
Are we getting more 3000 range transports soon?

No.

The Heron train is pure civvie. As I believe the firefly is too. It was Bretonian civ and then got changed to pure.

It's still Bretonian Civ, AFAIK.

Also, lol, this thread again.

I am going to have to disagree with Mr. Lens here. Lets call a medium transport something with 2000-3800 cargo hold. Now, Freelancers and Indy Trader ID are green cell to all 4 Sirius houses.Taking those two things into consideration the following is a list of transports available.

Albatross - 2000
Behemoth - 3000
Big Dragon - 3200
Border Worlds Transport - 3600
Firefly - 3500
Geisha - 2500
<strike>Hegemon - 2750</strike>
Heron - 3000
Kamome - 2800
Mammoth - 2200
Percheron - 2600
Taureau - 3000

I don't know, that seems like quite a few options for Freelancers and Indy Traders to choose from.

(changes are mine--Hegemon is no longer in that category, and the Taureau has been added)

I don't think that "I don't want to use a dozen of the options available to me" is a good enough reason to make more ships. There aren't very many "unaffiliated" transports at any level of cargo.

Well, I think most people would want to use a transport that is pretty much the max their ID allows. Especially considering trading on a Freelancer ID. Therefore, anything below 3000 cargo is dropped. Then of course there is the factoring in of the house civilian ships which cause trouble when trading between certain houses and therefore a Freelancer needs to be picky. My favourite freelancer trading ship, hands down, is the Firefly. Just wish it would get a remake. Or at least a re-texturing.

All the ships mention above are civilian transports. I used to fly Percheron in Kusari as a freelancer. When people asked I told them, I'm Libertonian. Just like that. I was like Han.

You are basically asking for civilian ships that hasn't been built anywhere by anyone so the origins can't be tracked.

There are no plans I'm aware of to introduce new ships during updates. I am also not aware of any pending models for new mid-range transports.

Fair enough Xoria, thank you for the information.

I just prefer that the content in game has some background instead of just appearing out of thin air.

Let the renown Sirius shipbuilding factions with shipyards make ships instead of adding mass produced ships that appear in Sirius via portal or something.
