I want a capital ship!!!!

... but only for one reason:
So I can start threads in the forums complaining that it's "unmaneuverable" compared to a sidewinder.

you are limiting yourself ;-)
to stay in good old forum tradition you could also complain about:
- it being/needing nerfed
- being overpowered
- has something 'immersion breaking'
- the seat isn't comfy enough
- can be taken out by <insert your ship(s) of choice>
- it's unrealistic that you can manouever it all alone
- that it's too slow
- that it's too big
- maintenance costs are too low/high
- jettison all cargo actually dumps all cargo
- can't fit twelve anacondas at the same time
- doesn't have autopilot
- doesnt have AI
and so on...
 
At sme point, I do intend to command a looted/stolen/salvaged/boarded Farragut.

There's two things that drive me to the conclusion, that there willbe capital ships in player hands eventually. Firstly - the playerbase usually isn't too fond of noteworthy equipment being NPC-only. one of the first things Freelancer modders did was making all the spaceworthy ships in the game, available to players. Secondly - FD's own words about "executive control".

I mean, it's fine if big warships require a minimum skeleton crew of actual humans, it's understandable, that those ships should be very difficult to obtain, operate and maintain. I say, that it'd all be worth the effort. Having a cap for a clan baseship is how I imagine successful wings to move around.
 
anaconda is missing above.... ^^


But hell, that representation leaves to believe that one seeker missile could be as great-sized as the federal dropship oO

HEEELP :)
 
Y'know, I don't think something that big runs on Hydrogen Fuel. I'd think it would have some sort of internal fusion reactor, or maybe some sort of self contained mini-star that produces infinite hydrogen. I mean, the US Navy has Carriers that are powered by Nuclear Fission, and require only reactor personnel to keep it running. Wouldn't Captiol ships be similar? It seems improbable something that big, would need to refuel at a port.
