Great ships again.

Ah texturing, everyone hates the shear idea of texturing a ship or anything. I do hate it to, I sucks at it, I need to learn it too (making textures from scratch, not texturing with vanilla FL ones).

A major motion picture about Lula is more likely to happen than a Freelancer sequel. It will not happen. No one cares about Freelancer anymore except a few players left and a few FL communities like this one. Even Robets gave no s**t about Freelancer's 10th Anniversary. And I think that for Microsoft Freelancer was just a random money making game.

I think nether of the 2 games will be made in time.

Aaaanyways...As per usual this thread is getting away from it's original purpose, so let us take aside the ED/SC comparison and focus on Elite: Dangerous here only.

So, since we all love starships talk about them for example...

Well I stopped following Star Citizen since David Braben announced Elite: Dangerous. Robets made Freelancer and the Wing Commanders but Elite is Elite .

RIP Homeworld! I hug my HW boxes now.

@ SolCommand: All the older AFF ships are in the NSU mod btw.
@ Sizer: Now that is a great list.

Ship class varies from universe to universe. Some of them have for example:

Cutters - smaller than corvettes usually. I consider them a true gap between capitals and snubs.

Now for some more specialized ships, they are for example:

Electronic Warfare Ship - equipped with long range sensors, awacs, jammers, emp stuff, you name it.

Minelayers - for laying mines

Blockade Runners - as I understand, they are transports used for breaking blockades to supply the front or planet or station.

When it comes to snubs, Freelancer is poor in classes too. Aside from LFs, HFs and VHFs there are more like...

Medium Fighter - A transition between LF and HF maybe.

Assault Fighter - I understand it as a snub more heavy than a VHF for assault roles but not a bomber.

Bombers - of different size, Light, medium, heavy, form bombing.

Strategic Bomber - I don't know if such class is used somewhere,
but I use it for a heavy bomber equipped with nuclear or damn devastating missiles and torpedoes for bombing space installations and planets, or just a tender for 1 really big missile (something like a Neutron-S missile from Robotech)

Well, 1st. they look awesome! 2nd, I think it depends on game, but they look destroyer-ish to me, I see no docks from this angle or windows or something to use as size reference.

Btw the front of the upper ship reminds me of Angel Fall First

Well the ship was never finished I imagine the cockpit here:
