Passenger liners?

Post by maestro4202 » Sat, 31. Jan 04, 02:10

Says passenger liners on the box I'm assuming their referring to the argon express type of ship? Its too bad you cant transport passengers as a commodity (not counting slaves or BBS missions).

You can ferry passengers....it's just that some missions are a little bugged.
You can get these missions in most Trading docks...mainly the Home sector of each race.
The Passenger liners are TP class ships.

doh again! sorry...

Anways, Id also like to add that big huge space cruise liners and such would be a nice touch even if they were only for show. And I wont say it would be cool to operate them as a business because thatd be redundant! :wink:

Oh no way! Running a space cruise line, with stops in the more "beautified" sectors, and planets like PhobassIV for the killer surfing would be EXCELLENT!

They could make the passenger liners look like the ones from the Fifth Element!

Oh how sweet that would be!

Yes that one cruising along on/over Mars/Venus or whatnot in 5th element was exactly the image I had in mind :P

It was flying over Jupiter I think, that space-cruiser would have been a perfect template, instead we got 5 remakes of the Argon Express. Imaginative.

Yes I must say seeing the same hulls/cockpits with a few additions was kinda dissapointing. I suppose we'll have to wait for the x-pansion pack eh?

I'd be hyperventilating if Egosoft released the previewed "LEGO-like" ship designer.

Orgasms of ecstasy would rip through me at the mere thought of being able to design my own ship exteriors, and have the price go up as you modify the internals.

THAT would be the ultimate addon methinks. Penny pinching trade moguls would design the most cost effective ships, Bounty Hunters would design the MOST powerful ships, given their cash rating, etc.

NEED! :lol:

Customisables

Post by porco1 » Mon, 2. Feb 04, 12:54

Agreed on that .. even the simple things. What if we could pull into a mechanised robotic fact ... and choose from a range of engine customisation ... like a fusion turbo drive , that could push 50 ms more per energy cell ... and engine component polish ... and tip tronic gear shift .. and ... you then needed to get licences ... ahh, opps .. thought i was in the gran tourismo section ...

But individual ship customisations would be nice ...
