So they can at least blow your guns. Coo!

That's what the nanobots are for, right? Or do they only repair your armor? Priv2's repair droid worked pretty fast but the one in Priv1 was so slow. I'd get to a planet and sit there waiting for my ship to repair itself. I could go get a sandwich and come back and there was still stuff broken, but it beat paying to fix everything.

They only fix your hull integrity, you'll still need to get equipment repaired, and wings replaced if you lost any.

Lost one of your wings???? woohow, this is beginning to sound cooler and cooler

Tach, you spoke about Privateer, right? You can't lose wings in Freelancer, can you?

Yes, you can lose wings and pieces of your hull in FL. Whenever a ship is severely damaged a lot of times it will have a lot of pieces blown off with wires and sparks hanging out. Some ships look really weird without their wings and extremities. Also, when a wing or piece of hull gets blown off, any equipment that was mounted on a hardpoint on that piece will get destroyed as well, and you can't remount anything there until you repair your hull at a shop.

Admiral, you made me happy!
(as happy as an ill person having a flu can be).

Anybody remember that loud 'clang' in Privateer when your hull was getting blasted after your shields were low? Man I knew I was getting it when I heard that sound. Sorry for memory lane guys. I just loved the old game. Even after all these years. I think I am starting to cry........

I came. I saw. I conquered. And sometimes get conquered.

That's in the game as well, Nat. If you take out the shields and you begin hitting the hull, you'll hear the clanging. Cool stuff -- adds a very nice tone to the game.

Awesome. That was an added touch that helped me really get into to the game. Thx for the info EB.

Dang! It sounds like there will be a lot more incentive to not let your shields get low compared to other games. After shelling out $100,000 for a gun or some other goodie I'm gonna have to do my best to not let the wing it's mounted on get blown off. I heard your level is based on how much money you have, that's made up of what your ship's worth in addition to your cash isn't it? If that's the case you could drop levels instantly just by losing a wing. If something gets blown off your ship is it ever salvageable?

yah id like to murder some poor enemy fighter and take his/her cargo for my own, sucks for him to loose a 100,000 credit wing/gun but WHOOPEEE!!!!!!! for me

That is an exceptionally cool feature, I was kinda worried that once you had earned a certain amount of money that there would be no incentive to earn any more. But if your repairs are constantly setting back your bank account....well that's just dandy with me.

Woudn't it be cool if you could actually speak with the other ships, not just designated dialogs, but actually hear eachother?
