Have you tried tracking down the concept artists for any leads? [email protected]I’ll give it a try, I dont usually have much luck getting replies out of artists. I always thought Harald Belker did the ships, his art is certainly very similar to the art that’s still available
-
Let’s hoping that’s it! We may do some crossfingers ^^.
-
Request sent to both of them , we shall see (I hope)
-
Any news out there?
-
Not really, Craig Mullens hasn’t come back to me but Harald Belker replied saying
there is a lot of stuff there, these particular drawings were done for a specific on-line game where they evolve and get bigger…
I will have to see where I got those. I will look, get back to me by the end of the week.HB
I will get back to him by the end of the week…
I live in hope
-
Hope! hope! ^^ ^^ ^^ I’m a bit happy, will we refind these arts? We will know it! ^_^/
-
So… Is there any concepts? Now.
-
Thar be Concepts, thar be concepts a plenty! Avast! or I’ll nail your doubloons to a mast!
But seriously, Harald Belker came through for us, he really is a great guy. So refreshing to find someone who will go out of their way for someone else on the internet these days. Very professional, plus he’s a great artist.
I put them all up on my page (same link above). These images are direct from Harald which he did back in 2000 and are not distorted. When they put the images up on Lancers all those years ago I think they must have squashed and pulled them about a bit to fit them into their page design. Now they make a lot more sense, at least to me anyway. I have some redesign work to do on my own FOL model now that I don’t have to work with a fuzzy thumbnail.
Cant get over the size of the Kusari fighter 1, its a cockpit with 2 guns attached! That would be really difficult to hit.
If people are interested I could make a concept gallery here on Starport and upload some of the stuff I have gathered over the years, plus, it would save these things from getting lost again, anybody?

Yes button (please press two time!)
I will print them to keep them. I think they are the most important arts of FL.
-
Wow, good of him to do that. Such a rarity to find someone who actually gives a toss. Anybody plan on modelling those drawings?
Also, that yes button guy sounds like Van Pelt.
-
Yes Thaddeus is moddeling them and BTW I’ve uploaded the concepts on TSP on other/fun page of Freelancer gallery.
-
I look forward to seeing them in action.
-
That was nice of him, well done. They look great, not sure about the Rheinland ships though.

I was looking at size and scale earlier and matching the small Rheinland fighter with the Starflier would make the level 8 version nearly twice as large as a Valkerie, truly enormous.

I’m very impatient to fly on Fol. They will be my first choices in your mod
