Eclipse VHF

[Tenacity]

But new designs come born of the old, these don't even look like they came from the same sector, let alone the same universe.

so maybe they didnt. Could be alien.

The homeworld ships are all labelled as "made from alien designs" - and they dont look like they belong in FL at all either.

And that brings us back to the point that almost no one likes that we have imported "Alien" ships to begin with.

plenty of people seem to like the appearance of many of the imports though- the slipstream, raven's claw, raven's talon, etc. are all pretty popular models here.

Freelancer is over 10 years old, and the ship designs do not need to remain blocky forever. I think it's time we start putting better looking ships in, even if they do look a bit radical.

EDIT:

I mean, with the latest texture on this thing - it's got a dark hull, skull&bones symbols, a wicked mouth at the front, and blood splattered all over the forward section of the ship... It'd be a great VHF for the phantoms I think, nice and scary but it still looks very sleek and technologically advanced (they are supported by the C'tan afterall).

Of course, If it does get put in for the phantoms I'll have to demand that my app to the phantoms be approved =P

Radical within reason though, these ships actually look older than the FL styles to me. But I know what you mean, and that takes work and attention. We shouldn't just throw in what looks 'cool' and hope for the best outcome.

this thing is unFLish as it gets PLUS an import.

Two thumbs down.


Edit: aside from me not liking the shape at all...

So you're saying THIS looks older than the vanilla HF's/VHF's?

Yea, it feels like the '50s to me, internal combustion rockets headed to the moon to beat the Russians. Freelancer styles are designed around specific cultural themes and a utilitarian design element to link them, but these look too smooth, too "The day the Earth stood still", for me atleast.

It doesn't look new and cutting edge to me at all.

It really does..
It looks like an X-33 fused with a fighter jet cockpit.



Either way this ship doesn't fit into disco at all..
