i am suprised i havent thought of that...do the FS mod team think they can be able to do the job? But it could be like a over sized transport or just sum sort of base.

To clarify, the Falcon Will be in the game, it's not finished yet, and it will only be used where appropriate (such as maps where it appeared in the movies), for instance, Hoth, where it will most likely appear as a static. On other maps it might be a PCO, but on Hoth it will probably just be static, possibly with controllable turrets or something. We shall see.

hmm, well, you have basically stumped me, since I generally don't like the 2400 or Rendar, but I'll list what I know

Stock 2400 has only 1 single laser turret, less armour, lighter colour, much slower engines, slower hyperdrive, crappier sensors, and no stealth package. And no missiles.

Lets see if you know the spec differences between the Outrider and the YT-2400

We know the difference between The Mellenium Falcon and YT-1300 the mellenium falcon will appear where it is ment to (static on Hoth etc.) and YT-1300s may also be used as rebel transport ships.

You're including YT-1300s? Are they, like, actual YT-1300s, or are they Millennium Falcons? Cause I understand where you're coming from if they are - Millennium Falcons - but it's always been a pet peeve of mine when I see a ship labelled YT-1300 in a game and it's a Falcon - because as Han pointed out in ANH, the Falcon has a lot of special modifications.

This mod seems to be striving for a greater level of accuracy and I respect that, so in the interests of....uh....well, myself I guess, I'd just like to point out that a standard YT-1300 has

Only one topside gun turret with just a single laser cannon (not a quad), does not have a concussion missile launcher, does not have the "getaway blaster" and (biggest cosmetic difference) does NOT have the sensor dish. And it's armour is weaker, and it's not as fast or manoeuvrable.

And the hyperdrive is slower, but I don't think that's an issue.

Just in the interests of accuracy guys - a stock YT-1300 is different from the Falcon.

I know there'll be a reaction that'll basically say "But it's not the Falcon if it's not the Falcon!" but I thought the point of this mod was to be accurate to the canon and reflect an average soldier's point of view. If you concede and let people have a modified Falcon style YT-1300, then you might as well let them have lightsabers and Mando armour and all of a sudden you're just SWBF2. And no one wants that.

I think it's more characters that LA has a problem with.

uhm yea wll duh. but i was wondering about the fact that no names can/will be used.
because the falcon isnt anything more then the name given to a cargo ship by Lando (or the guy he stole/won it from), but stil its a NAME registerd with lucas and al. more then x-wing and tie.

cant think of this mod without a falcon, but i cant find any wips of it
if there is one. please slap me into the right direction
