From my knowledge it is not possible.

That's a big list, nice work! Pics?

I have another suggestion...
I don't think its possible, and maybe its been said before, but here goes:
Could we implement (instead of that new, die=lose money system) a dynamic economy?
By that I mean, the prices of certain commodities increase or decrease depending on how much is going around (from the NPC traders or just the players)? For example, several people trade Prisoners from New Berlin to Stuttgart, or other ship VIPs and Boron in NY. Some do that ALL DAY LONG just to make money.
I say, that if the planet is getting too much of something, it would reduce its buying price of something (for example Stuttgart has too many Prisoners, they decrease the price and instead pay more for Oxygen...). Same with the VIPs; if a luxury liner has "too many onboard" (many have been delivered), the buying price will drop for that commodity, and maybe rise elsewhere.
Now for the intricate part which could be left on the side if it really wasn't possible.
Everytime someone kills and NPC, their reps is affected. How about, when a player kills a convoy of commodities to a certain planet (they'll know if they hail them), then that would affect the buying price of the planet to which the delivery was supposed to be made. Meaning that player now can loot the cargo and make the profit instead.
These two aspects would allow for a lot more action on the servers, and would stop the people from always using the same trading route. That way, it also provides an incentive to explore for better deals!
Now isn't that a marvelous idea or what? I'm sure someone else had it before me (and hopefully someone did it before, or it is doable). :]

Fabulous work, OP! I'm sure that actual play will far outstrip the descriptions outlined above. My only reservation: do cruisers no longer have railguns, as in the single-player game?
-
i noticed the cruisers and gunboats have lvl 6 and lvl 7 weapons does that mean there will be a whole new range of large ship weapons or is that existiing turrets and guns?
-
Will there be a charwipe? According to the "Freelancer Shell" thread, I believe there will be one.
-
hehe i have some thoughts about new stuff, maybe some of it is possible:
- new lowlevelweapons would be great
- a bubble gun, very long distance but very slow, spreadfire
- a movement disruptor, when hit you cant controll your ship for 1 second (lol or the adv. md , when hit you do the same movements like your enemy :D)
- adv. emp weapons, let the enemy ship be without energy for 3 seconds (maybe kill thrusters too)
- a mine dropper with only 1-5 very large mines, they shouldnt have damage, just block other players. when you run a away you could drop one of them, they guard you a bit
should look like an airbag, small ship drop big balloons
- show weapons with great colors (missiles with 16 different smoke types *ggg* )
-
Hello,
ok these are my ideias i dont know if they are possible or not.
Make a weapon like the one that the Phoenix ship on starlancer had... that charging weapon (i have a feeling that this isnt possible on fl lol).
Also a weapon called Tri-Pod Missile Launcher which would fire 3 missiles at once.
Thanks for your attention!
P.S: OP Your ships look great indeed.

Wow! (again) Keep up the good work OP, the best freelancer mod looks set to become even better!
-
Erm, I'm sorry but, what good are the Heavy Lifter and Repair Ship going to bring? Plus there is no need to move large things around. And you can't, everything is "stuck" in place...
Also, when I see batts/bots as high as 750... I doubt this is going to work. Because I remember seeing that Trains were able to carry 200 of each, yet I can only buy 100 of each...
-
Another idea
what about a very heavy cannon with 50 ammo for it, with really heavy damage but slower as normal guns? To hit capital ships for example.
A real big fat boomer

Nice job OP
but many of us will be happy with the opening of the closed jump holes/gates, me at first !
-
Me again to OP
I'm busy to put the ship list in Excell like i did for previous ships but i have some questions.
- I read EXOCET and V-Fighter are classified as Medium fighters, is this a new class or what class will they have in CF ?
- Are BOWIN and CHIMERA heavy fighters or VHF ?
- Is there a reason for KUSARI Destroyers and Gunboats to have less turrets than they conterparts in Bretonia and Rheinland ?
- At the moment i have data for 39 ships, how long will this list be in mod 1.6 ?
- I did classified all ships with much cargo as freighter to simplified.
- I also added new classes to the list: gunboat ( Gb), destroyer ( Dest), cruiser ( Crui ) and Repair Ship ( Rep)

Speaking as somone who has done some programing, but still can't program his thermostat in his house, you've put in a lot of work here and in Cossfire to date. Quite an accomplishment.
Is there a way a convert our chars when 1.6 comes out? If not, would moving everyone to
