I`ll give you a hint: They have somthing to do with a guy named Hurley. (Congrats to Taw, he was the first to get it right.)

  • I´d agree that the Firespray is a real be-otch to hit; but try out a a few Nomad Torpedo salvos on one <img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Favorite(s): Sabre XR (any Xr ships, actually) and the Jedi T-Fighter. Ghost isn´t too bad, either; unbelievable manueverability and speed

  • dagger xr saber Xr defenfently hated ship also the slave 1 b wing and falcon on high end misions now i need to find an damocles beam for my saber

    the best diplomat i ever saw was a fully charged phaser bank

  • I actually had more fav ships during my FL playing&amp;modding time, some of these were: the Stilletto and Sabre(didn´t even now that the Sabre existed first times i played FL, i thought Stilleto was BW´s best!!), then the BD Dragon VHF. In 3.30 SP i prefer the Ywing, from Kusari space, cause has a lot of cargo space and firepower, even it´s less maneuvrable. And the Thunderbolt VHF from Earth cause of its strafing abilities and the fact it has 9 guns plus 1 turret. I know about Slave1´s and Ywing´s problems in SP/MP, but i got better sur´s form them in the next version.

  • Favorite Ships...Hmm Tough one because there are so many (all with their own strong and weak points) and I have not flown them all yet... Fighters: Raven´s Claw - Heavy Armor, Many Weapon ponits (13 total I think) Jedi T-Fighter - Only drawback, 1 torpedo slot Whale - Low cost, fast, nimble - Drawback is cargo space Capital Ships: Tempest - Not as big as some, but easy to fly and manuever (my favorite way to trade cargo too) Nagita - The smallest capital ship, but I can fly this like a light fighter Javeline - Torps, Torps Torps Away...WooHoo Traders: Tempest - Why not trade with the speed and security of a cap ship? FR8 Freelancer Special - Cause it´s a truck Fed Ex - Cause it makes me laugh...lol Runner Ups: As for the Firespray (Slave 1 or the Incredible Flying Egg), great ship once u get used to its ´Egg´ shape. Tie Defender becuase of the Cockpit View. Ghost, the smallest and fastest ship and has 3 Torp Slots! Viper - Fast and laser torps are great. Longsword Bomber with nomad torps - Swoop and attack! Dagger Xr Prototype - Only issue is the missing weps. Dislikes: Enterprise - slow turning, not many weapon slots. Leviathan and Damocles - Just too big for me. Cyclone - blah and slow. Brakari Heavy Cruiser - flys on it´s side and very little cargo for its size.

  • Ya know...I Installed this patch 3 times and it did not work...After seeing your post, I thought why not and Wallah! It works...K - Put the Dagger right up there as a favorite!

  • My fave is the Star Wars B-wing good all around and hard to hit head-on in a joust. I have a love/hate relationship with the sabre XR, i meen it is the bomb and all but WAY to many people use it on the server i am on. i still use it in sp. and hated ship is the enterprise, Kirk would be ashamed of that thing.

  • I have 2 faves Milennium falcon, dang nice ship for light trading and for heavy a** kicking, a little on the unmaneuverable side tho :/ TIE X-1.....TIE guns are freaking powerful for their class, 2 torp mounts, and...well *feels like an idiot* it makes me want to say &quot;I have you now!!!&quot; every time i get some corsair oaf in my sights

  • Just wondering if there is a version of this mod WITHOUT all the ships that don´t belong in the Freelancer &quot;universe&quot; (i.e Star Trek, Star Wars, Babylon 5, etc.)? Seems like a great mod but really don´t wish to add all those ships that sorta don´t belong with the premise of the game. Oh the pain....the pain.

  • I wouldn´t think that there are any versions like that; I was under the impression that the big variety of ships was meant to add to the mod. Being able to pilot and/or fight against X-wings, TIEs, Battleaxes, and other ships from various great games in the comfort of a FL control style/universe was (and still is) pretty cool for me. But MD would know for sure, since he´s the go-to man. There might be a way to remove those ships if you really don´t want them in the game, but again, I can´t tell you how to do that - someone with more experience will have to.

  • Yeah, the Hawkeye MkII is probably the best of the best. IMO, it´s a small capship - huge cargo , comparatively speaking for a VHF; hideous firepower; unbelievable shield capabilty; and double-engines to complete the Package of Death <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Great ship.

  • Favourite: longsword bomber. Favourite loadout: x4 nomad torpedos x4 hellfury torpedo launchers, takes out the pirate fleets lurking in the omicron sectors in one salvo, and messes up battleships quite badly as well <img src=smilies/icon_smile_evil.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> if i remember correctly from playing last, she is rather handy at dogfighting as well <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Windows NT crashed. I am the Blue Screen of Death. No one hears your screams Edited by - freighter fighter on 4/23/2004 1:11:20 AM

  • Did you know the Hawkeye MKII can just about fit the Balistner capship powerplant? Stick in a bunch of Naginata guns and three class 10 shields and you´re practically unstoppable. The Hydra Corvette is kinda nice too, but the clunky handling always makes you overshoot your destination in the SP campaign scenes. It was impossible to finish the Hovis race in it; I had to buy the Silpstream that Battleship Hood sold. Nice ship btw, twitchy handling, almost like a LF. The NPCs seem to be flying a wider variety of ships too, which is good. The only bad thing is that there just aren´t enough types of NPCs to actually fly all the available ships, lol. It´d be awesome if NPCs flying in systems that they aren´t native to used random ships. I mean, Corsairs would be flying Titans and stuff around their home base (Crete?), but elsewhere e.g. in Rhineland they could be flying ANY kind of ship. ANY. Imagine a patrol of 6 Corsairs, each in a totally different ship. Okay, that was insane <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> But it´d be great to have even more ships out there, and not just collecting dust and cobwebs on shipdealers´ display pads. &quot; In Defeat, Malice; In Victory, Revenge! &quot;

  • Early in the game I like using the Cylon HV with 6 repair turrents... big hitting @ no cost to your power supply Hee hee Possibble the repiar turrents need a little tweecking here MD?
