Hey all,
I was playing around a bit ago with Terran Freight Drones.
They arent really designed to be flown in the game, but I got to get in them and test them out. The 'Terran Freight Drone has a big block thing in the front view, so you cant steer it in VC mode. But the regular first version 'Terran Drone' only has a few bits blocking your view and is steerable in VC mode (if you ignore the odd Polygons visible in the cockpit).
I souped up the performance on the Terran Drone with a super tune cheat. Got the little racer up to 800+ M/S. Very cool little craft. I loaded it with Jump Drive, SETA drive (warp?) and Transporter. So it will be like a life boat, launch type of craft and can transport me from the big ships to other ships when needed.
I created them via the Cheat / Create Ship
The Freighter version was loaded with ore and only held something like 50 units. Not worth it as a freighter..
NOTE: Below on the photos, the Terran Drone has a short body, and the Freight Drone version has a longer hull with engines mounted externally.
NOTE 2: These are very small. Dwarfed by the usual Freighters...
Some good fun though.
Man, that Terran Drone is just awesome looking!
