I added my own touch, and came up with this. Total work time so far two and a half hours.
I also made a short description for what this ship looks like it would do, in my eyes.
Navy One:
When the President of Liberty needs to be transported to safety, no ordinary ship will suffice. With the dangers of the stars ever increasing a new breed of ship had to be made to carry one of the most powerful leaders in Sirius. This ship had to be agile, yet strong. It had to have the most advanced designs and counter measure, an array of various technologies and computer banks to put any ship currently flying to shame.
Navy One was a joint project developed in secret by the LSF and the Liberty Navy. It was designed as a next generation battleship but as the project costs tripled their initial projections the project was canceled after the first prototype. Although the prototype preformed admirably in all areas of combat, engaging and destroying three super heavy battleships at a time in it's simulations. The Navy could purchase six dreadnoughts for the price of just one of these monsters. With only one ship of it's kind, the LSF and Navy agreed to give it to it's new sole duty, transportation of the President of Liberty, his Staff and Cabinet. The ship has ever since been shrouded in secrecy. Armor, weight, armaments , speed, have all been heavily classified and only the top echelons of Liberty know of this vessels true capabilities.
People who have seen it describe it as a ghost, it leaves no trails or traces. It has never been detected on long range scanners of any kind. It slips in and out of visible existence, and any witness who has ever claimed to see this ship are ruled as nuts by the general populace. It is still believed to be a hoax by some, but we may never know.
No. Justin never got around to it. I believe Gurjiv is making a proxy that looks sextastic, but I don't know if that's a for sure thing. *Shrugs* I vote on this. Do I get a vote?

Tough i am not part of any faction related to Lane Hackers... I cant do anything other than agree... That is simply the most advanced, sexy and at the same time Freelancerish ship i ever saw.
' Wrote:I'm not the one who is used to post in the Developers' forum, but I wonder if LSF can get a prototype that will not be stolen by someone.
Lets put it this way and add up your thoughts further more...
Liberty Navy build this ship = Hackers/Rouges will try and steel another prototype.
if LSF made something = Order will go and steel it as well.
But, hey - is just an add on since someone in here soon enough would say "that won't happen - the pirates have no money to support another ship" - Well hey, if you ask me - how the hell they can support a Spyglass? or the Rouges with a Heavy Cruiser? Because they pirate daily and enough credits to support large ships -OR- make secret smuggling runs and be wealthy enough to support few of them in space and build few more.

What? We use money to supply our ships? That's new. I always thought we stole the parts to keep them working. Why use money to buy second-rate parts off the blackmarket when I can just steal the stuff from the more scrupulous people. Like shopping. Only more evil!
