Ignore last MSG. Whitestar

I think the Whitestar should be made in to a pilotable craft. Yes from the pictures it looks like its too big to be stable. But there are ways round that that people will make do with...
right?..

Please read earlier posts....
It's impossible for pilotable craft to have beam weapons that can be fired manually...
So the Whitestar will be a bomber with a beam turret...
Since it's no fun to fly the ship and not be able to fire yourself it won't be flyable...

Actualy current tests with the whitestar beta with Bonbaer flag on it will crash the game. We have yet to see if that continues ro happen when we have the final model ready.
It will be released in the second bundle we are working now.

What about the Whitestar's pulse guns?

Those could be primaries in either case (I think) but if it crashes when set as "bomber" or "fighter" then being a player useable ship is totally out of the queston.

The reason for the crash has not yet been established.

I doubt there's a max-size for a fighter or bomber; it could be a max number of turrets or something

Of course it would be cool to be able to fly the Whitestar, but I think we should be happy if they can just get it into the game, even as a capital ship. I mean, flying alongside it would be cool, and even more, it opens up a whole ton of battles from the series that could now be re-enacted.

Why does everybody want to fly the Whitestar... It looks no fun to me to fly such a big ship... it's 40 times the length of a starfury... No afterburner... Come on... Who wants to fly a trashcan..?

the same people who play Independence war. Duh. Quite frankly, I don't care if it's player-flyable. I don't much care about the whitestar, either. I want an omega. And a battlecrab.
