Firefly

[Akumabito]

I think firefly was OK, it was a space western which is how star trek was first envisioned (I think Gene Roddenberry called it "Wagon Train to the stars").

And the teen girl was worth watching, something about pretty and brain damaged in one package...

Anyway.

But ships from sci fi shows either belong in FL or they don't, and I'm with the don't camp, unless we want Space 1999 Eagles, the UFO Interceptor, Buck Rogers Eagle etcetera ad nausium.

Get rid of those battlestars as well.

As others have said, the firefly genre and it's ships look very similar to what we already have in freelancer. They fit. The starwars ships dont, homeworld ships are iffy (they all look like crap anyways).

And as even others have said, if you take the firefly out a lot of people will quit playing the mod =P

Firefly is an extremely popular ship, so I wouldn't worry about it. I don't see it being removed.


I'd rather the stats stay as they are, but I wouldn't care if the weaponry array was modified. The ship is perfect, leave it alone. It isn't garbage like the Homeworld/BSG/SW stuff out there.

It's obscure enough that few people get immersion broken by it, and it looks/feels FLish even if you recognize it. I'll say it again, yes, replace it as we get rid of all imports, but it deserves to stay far more than those Homeworld abominations or Star Wars lolcaps (did anyone else notice that the ships that get whored and pvp-abused in most are all from Star Wars?). So, remodel may be a waste of time, but a retexture will make it look a lot more FLish and shouldn't take too long. But yes, when the rest of the imports are gone it should go too. No question there.

I quit the day the Firefly is gone.:P

The firefly ship doesn't look any more FLish than the star wars ones, in fact it looks a bit less so.

It doesn't look Bretonian.

It's also no more popular from casual observation that the SW based BH GB or BH BC, which should also be removed, or the battlestars.

The ship should be removed, and if someone leaves because it's removed they weren't really committed to the community anyway, right?

The BHG ships are getting a total redo, Akumbiato. Firefly needs new textures, a slight buff, and it stays. It's fine, IMO.

Just go play the game and have fun dammit.

all in all the conclusion is that disco doesn't need antagonist factions, it doesn't need phantoms, it doesn't need nomads, it doesn't need coalition and it doesn't need many other things, no AIs, the game is hijacked by morons to confuse the game with their dickwaving generic competition games mixed up with troll-of-the-day.

[Akumabito]

It's no different from the SW ships in that it's an import and doesn't belong in Disco.

If the argument is made that the disco universe doesn't allow imports it should apply across the board.

[Boss]

Fine, we shall say that the dev team is completely biased and full of themselves.

Sorry, but I don't feel that your argument about that holds water.

yay for totalitarian perspectives.

If you arent in, you're out! no exceptions!

Akumabito, did anyone ever mention that you're a failure at life and should die in a bleach fire? No? Well now they have.
