Time to reintroduce the inhabitants of Sirius from Microsoft's "Freelancer" back into the sci-fi genre.
This is the remodeling of the freelancer Miner. Classic features have been retained but its looking a whole lot more sleeker and up to date.
pretty large. the arms will go on the front like in the original. i was also planning to remove the need for it to dock and deposit minerals (it just keeps mining slowly, stays stationary) as this is how the ones in freelancer are. Thats the reason i made it large.
the original can clearly house a LARGE crew for the type of ship it is (because of all the windows). i couldnt make it that large. keeping it at a reasonable size ment that it was only big enough for one person but that made it too small..so i stuck with soemthing in between and turned it into an unmanned ship (if mars rovers can scratch rocks, why cant these? :P )
It´s been a while since I´ve played Freelancer, but I don´t remember this model at all.At least not in Freelancer, more from Freespace a Hercules or a Medusa.
you probably wouldnt if you played it a while ago. the mining ships are stationary and sit deep inside asteroid fields, in zones you wouldnt really fly to that often. here is the one from freelancer:
