Title: what kind of FS ship would you be?
Post by: Singh on January 25, 2005, 08:16:56 am: ok...let's just say that if somebody was theoretically making a HLP campiagn that featured some of the members of the community, and you happened to be one of them, which type of freespace 2 or 1 ship would you want to be?

Personally, for me it'd have to be the Ursa! Big, slow and ugly is just like me - but with packing a big wallop and heavy on the armored side :D

Post by: Ransom on January 25, 2005, 08:23:05 am: I'd say a Herc 2. Cause it's, uh, blue. Sort of. And it comes after 1, but, get this, before 2. Wait, no. 3. It comes after 3. I mean before. Er...
Title: what kind of FS ship would you be?
Post by: an0n on January 25, 2005, 08:26:05 am: A Sobek, apparently.

I'd have to say the Iceni, though. What with me being a tough little rogue and all.
Title: what kind of FS ship would you be?
Post by: Martinus on January 25, 2005, 08:36:00 am: [color=66ff00]Weird, I was thinking about this the other day, not so much in freespace terms but in general. Thought it would be cool if everyone had a fighter based on their own stats and we had a melee. :)

I'm light, I move fast in straight lines but not around corners and I can deal out a good deal of damage via kung fu. I also accellerate quite well but I can only run at high speed for short distances.

So basically a ship that has good top speed, a short afterburner, not so maneuverable and moderately powerful but medium range armnament.

FOR THE RECORD, the god damned TNT2 was the best videocard i had owned to date, (until i get a ATI x8000 or whatever the hell it is thats 300$).... the TNT2 can get specular hull glows and high res stuff but my radeon7500 cant do diddily squat with the effects made.

Title: what kind of FS ship would you be?
Post by: IceFire on January 25, 2005, 11:08:32 am: Haha, we used to do this...Dynamo made a couple of missions which involved the entire staff of Planet FreeSpace (myself included) and Descent Network. It was awesome...the player would choose sides between the two opposing groups and then start shooting at waves of named ships.

WildWolf and I were always the last two guys to show up if you were fighting against PlanetFS and we were naturally the hardest to beat :)

We'd make all sorts of coy comments when damaged and then killed. IT was great...we haven't done that in a long time.

Post by: Setekh on January 25, 2005, 08:31:43 pm: Not sure why?
