I just read to the "super duper snac for BS" part.
Just plain NO.
FL has pretty much nothing to do with physics anyway, as demonstrated by the "tachyon" cannons. Tachyon can not, accoding to some quantum theory or other (correct me if I'm wrong), travel at speeds, slower than light. So we might as well make invisible faster-than-the-speed-of-light cannons which would make aiming oh so easy and bury the mod.
This idea was never meant to be a serious, feasible method of modding or RPing within Discovery Freelancer. It is entirely hypothetical and worthy of a fanfiction story, nothing Else. I have zero control over the SCRA faction (as they like to make known, apparently) and thus this has Zero bearing on Anything they will ever do.
Suffice it to say that a lot of you who considered this idea "fail" on the grounds that "fff disco dont work that way wtff" are-
.... Expletive Deleted.
I could go into plenty of detail as to how my idea actually holds weight based on the crap that's been provided in Starlancer and Freelancer, tech wise, but I don't think I'll bother if the responses I get are mostly like that.
But kudos to the people posting Soviet stuff, though, you warmed my big Red heart. <3
Not really a 'joke' but not a serious proposition, anyway.
I'd think that something like the SCRA would exist in any sequel to Freelancer; otherwise the whole point of tying it in to Starlancer was pointless. Some revival group or dare I say Coalition sleeper ships sent somewhere else, something like that. But the Discovery universe is.. all over the place, so they don't play any major role.
