Freelancer Realistic(ish) Capital Ship Handling Prototype

After getting sucked into Nexus: The Jupiter Incident for awhile I started to wonder if the Nexus style of ship handling can be adapted into Freelancer. Freelancer capital ships tend to lack a feeling of weight. Nexus did a terrific job of presenting this for its large ships and well, learn from the best right? This video isn’t terribly interesting to watch, no explosions or anything. It is just a Bretonian (Liberty is overdone) Battleship undocking, doing a short circuit, then docking again. The point is to demonstrate the way the capitals handle, which is a near direct translation of the handling of capitals in Nexus. I don’t know if anything will come of this, it was really just a fun experiment to make capitals feel heavy. Like you are carrying that weight around. This was little project was based on 88 Flak’s RC131. Those interested in using the engine effect, see this post:
