These ships remind me of an Airstream Camper with an 80s vibe. How I would fix them... remove the bulkhead next to the cargo area, make it a two person ship by removing a set of beds and chairs, use the freed up space for lockers and living space upgrades. Make the turret in the back a remote turret for copilot.

Originally I was ecstatic when I bought a Freelancer MIS back in 2015 or something.
BUT, about 2 years ago when I really got back into the game to find they totally rebuilt the interior I melted it and got a Connie Andromeda.

[Damiv]

The Freelancer were good ships for the original design of SC. They have been feature and power crept over the last 10 years and there has been no attempt to update them to keep up with the changing game.

[RoughlyShady]

I like the freelancers, not more than the Spirit, but the Max is definitely a proper cargo hauler. But they definitely need more love. Aside from a golden pass, things like the mid session on the Max, that actually limits cargo loading should be revisited.

The Freelancer Max is one of those ships of my many ships that I will never get rid of although I can see some stiff competition coming with the Zues. When the Freelancers finally get their rework I hope it includes:
* A larger windshield (more on par with the Hull series)
* Remove the bulkhead and door and combine the area between the main cargo bay and forward cargo bay in the Base and Max.
* The DUR and the MIS retain their refinery and missile bays.
* Remove two passenger seats and two beds to allow for gally, crew quarters, and component access.
* Slightly widen the cargo bay to allow easier access for vehicles.
* Make the rear turret more flush with the overhead (basically remove the two beams that come down).

It's in desperate need of a rework or mkii.

The doors are just a hair too small to work with many box sizes.

It could be perfect with some tweaks.

[heroruls]

i remember when the freelancer was on par with the cutlass long long ago
when it was tankier and had more hull hp the guns worked and the Mis was a great combat ship
now a day there no reason to own any of them sins the cutlass is just flat out better for years now thanks to cig being drake fanboys
all I need to say 21 300 hp vs 45 750 hp
the freelancer use to have the advantage of haveing 4 size 3 guns gimbaled du to them being on turrets vs 4 size 3 fixed a benefit that got removed whit master mode

[chrisajokinen]

I agree with your marks and comments. I would add a few things on the rework. It just needs the interior fixed. move the pilot's seat up closer to the window. the mailbox slot does no favors when flying it. The small room with the docking collar needs the rear door removed or widened, maybe a double door to allow manual loading/unloading of the space, The turret should be replaced with a remote controlled by the co-pilot seat. This gives one of the 3 extra seats a purpose and removes the tracks for the rear turret from getting in the way of the cargo area. I debate whether 2 of the 4 beds should be removed to make better use of the internal space. Outside of that the ship needs a hull hp bump and the vtol added.

For the variants performance values and armor should change based on each. Base should have lighter armor and higher performance. The dur should be slower than base but slightly better armor. The Max would be slower than the base with the same armor. The MIS should have much heavier armor making it the slowest of the series and 1 extra cooler, a larger capacitor for all guns and maybe 1 extra remote turret.

I love the recent updates to components on the Freelancers. Three medium shields and another power plant, too. In addition to the two computers that will be useful some day. Emphasizes that blend of sturdiness and high-tech that MISC typically is displayed. I have the MIS & DUR, and can't wait for them to get a Gold Pass.

[misterspiff]

Freelancers either need a serious discount (the MIS!) or serious upgrading.

[Ristal]

I still really like the Freelancer series of ships and I hope they get a good rework soon as I'd like to keep my Dur for exploration.

[SCTimbal]

Kinda a harsh rating and a tiny bit unfair comparing to the Zeus series when it hasn't been released yet, but the basics are all accurate. It really should shine after a major rework.

I will say that the Max is a ship that always makes me smile somehow when I open that massive cargo bay.

[SuperRocketJockey]

The max is by far one of the most underrated ships

[antzaeh]

I like the commercial, but these ships need reworks. Might get max ingame.

[PixelPioneerXX]

Absolutely loved this video! Your enthusiasm and unique perspective make every video a joy to watch. Keep up the fantastic work; you’re doing amazing!

[FoxCreativeGaming]

You missed 1 critical thing about the DUR and ES compression regarding fuel. The ES has a larger fuel tank, but the DUR can create its own hydro fuel and different hydro fuel grades with its onboard refinery. I think many players run through the DUR and see the room with the refinery. They think it's just something there, but that's its refinery.

[tequila]

I really like the Freelancer. It just really needs an update to make it a bit more functionally in line with todays SC.

[AlbandAquino]

I love the Freelancers so much that I have all 3 variants 😅
The MAX is definitely my favorite.

[hirofortis]

hehe, watching the freelancer 1 shot a couple of cuttys makes me laugh. :)

[sentrysentry-pplj]

New subscriber here!! Freelancer could be great and probably will when they get a gold standard pass. But the Zeus will be tough competition.
