While the TEC, Advent and Vasari are embroiled in their own struggles for survival a new threat has emerged, intent on spreading it's infectious plague throughout the universe. The sickening ruthlessness in which entire populations are infected or destroyed is alarming to the TEC, Advent and Vasari alike. If the Plague wasn't enough they were immediately followed yet another race calling themselves the Nephilim. The initial encounter with the "Nephilim" held promise they would unite in defeating the Plague. However, Initial attempts at diplomacy have failed as the Nephilim seem single purposed in their pursuit of the Plague.
The Rogue Traders is the third faction I've created as part of the Transhuman concept. I very much enjoyed putting this faction together as it represents my enjoyment of genres like Shadowrun, Cyborgs, etc. I also enjoyed creating this faction as I could spend more time on the faction's gameplay and coding and less on texturing as the ships by SolCommand came textured and the harlocks were already textured by me. There's still some work to be done of the structure textures. But overall this faction has been a lot of fun to code with some more balance tweaks coming to make the faction funner hopefully.
Hey I recognize two of those, well one not sure about the other. That big light gray is called the Min's Wind, not sure what you call it in the mod. And another of these looks a like ship called the Swordfish.
Yep, part of the Min's Wind usage requires it's name stay the same in the mod. The other is modeled after the swordfish. The three piratey ships with flags are based off Captain Harlock anime.
The big green ship was created by file-o-soft and the other two were modeled by me. I also textured these three ships while the others shown here were textured by the original creators.
Hold on here, I've seen the top left one in a mod for Freelancer.
and the colonizer ship from FL down in the middle not? (the one left from that spikey fighter) ^^
looks kinda strange to me, but im not a great fan of comic style in games, beside from that, nice work ^^
This is more a pirate based faction so a little over the top is ok IMO. The sins pirates have frik'n billboards on them, lol. I spent a lot of time on my arcadia's and wanted to see them in the game. I'm pretty happy with the end result.
I think that's correct, though I haven't played Freelancer personally. SolCommand gave permission for his models and textured to be used, they were quite likely used in other mods too. I know he's also recently done some work for various games.
4th from the bottom right is from cowboy bebop (epic anime and movie) :)
