My suggestion (please review one time)

[Gulryz]

My suggestion is that the ships in the game have to give a life time.like if i buy a ship
and i can keep it flying for 1 year without any repiars or any thing. my suggestion is that after some time the ships get old and they can't fly.and please put a paint customization in 4.87

You can ignore reality but you can not ignore consequences of ignoring reality

A: Why?

B: If it lasts for 1 year without repairs, does that mean I could make it last longer with repairs?

C: The devs said they wont be putting in custom paint jobs, cos it means they have to make custom skins.

One year? Umad bro? There are some WWII ships that are STILL IN ACTIVE SERVICE in real life. One year...

[Karst]

Why?

This.

here are some WWII ships that are STILL IN ACTIVE SERVICE in real life.

I don't think they'd last very long in space though

Some arbitrary lifetime would be pretty pointless, especially given the lack of logic we usually apply - instant nanobot repair to almost total damage and then it just respawns anyway.

Did you take a look at the description of the building materials and ship parts in game? Freelancer's engineering and shipwright are a nerd's wet dream. You're right: they wouldn't last that long, but MUCH MUCH longer. Basic alloys are made with titanium, and that's just the most common material. Don't get me started with super alloys and similars. That, coupled with nanobot reparis, ensures that a ship hull is almost eternal.

Well that joke went right over your head I meant WWII ships in space.

In seriousness though, I do agree with you on their survivability.

i am asking if they can do that ships will no longer be in use after some months and i t will be good for RP. i read some factions histroy like CR when they left home there
ships got old take expamle of Reapers their ships also get old i am talking that a player ship also have to get old after some months

I think his point is that put a de-grading system in ships,like a ship that gets its paint job to rot and its engines to stall and jitter,and as time goes,the ship should become more prone to engine stalls and weapon jamming,but well its FL and we respawn after dying so i probably guess its not possible.

Why not have custom paint jobs for Eagles, so each house in sirius excluding gallia. Gets it own Eagle Skin, where you buy the eagle with the standard skin, then goto a shipyard and buy the House Coloured Skin of the eagle.

Rhineland could have a Green Skin like the Wraith, Kusari Eagle Skin like the Chimara, Liberty and Bretonia could have their own eagle skins too.

You could even have a rusted junker skin for Pirate Eagles, as they would be the worst looked after inRP and should thus look battered and tatty!
