As I said, it was for Role-Playing purposes. An original design. I just wanted to make a very rough internal layout, but I was having so much fun I just kept adding stuff. :lol:

I used to do this kind of stuff all the time, except with good old pencil and paper.

I used to be a weapons dealer in some multi-player FL mod, but then I remembered that I hated freelancer.

Freelancer would be great if it wasnt so dumb with the sizes. apparently planets are only a few miles long x.x

And battleships, the culmination of warfare technology, are roughly as big as cruisers in FreeSpace. Also, the 'role playing game' elements cause some serious balance problems between ships. A fully loaded Titan/Saber can singlehandedly take down a battleship. While the pilot is solving really difficult polynomial equations of the second degree. With one eye closed, I might add. Which in turn raises the question: why the hell haven't the Corsairs and Outcasts taken over the Sirius sector already?

It's not the equivalent of an FS corvette. The corvettes in HW2 are lucky to have two.

Indeed...this is a small vessel..you can see how small by the size of the room in question

I made little improvements to the ship b.t.w.

Access has two c's! Other than that, pretty cool. Nice attention to detail.
