Amazing freighter! Hats off..  =D>

Great one! Looks stunning, nicely done m8. Just one thing: isn't 9600 armor a bit on the low side for a really big freighter / small gunboat? A Deimos, a Heavy Fighter, has about the same.

[Zsoca]

Thanx...and maybe yes the 9600 is to small number. So after further development the engineers at Hudson have desided to improve the armor platings to higher level. From dangerously low 9600 to more acceptable 14000.

I could almost see Corsairs or Outcasts using this as a cheap support ship...

It'd be an awesome ship for pirating, too...  :D

Finally i know the very basics of the texturing, so heres the textured Merchantman in Borderworlds style :

Dude! That is so sweet I could swear! Right here! But I won't good job mate, I think you get how much I like this one.

[Warcow]

This is so pirate-ish, it's not even funny.

When can I get one?  

[geromix]

That is awesome i want one. =P~

[Comfort]

Awesome. Words do not describe, but awesome comes close

[Maverick]

That thing has pirate written all over it. Super-swee-eet m8!

[Zebulon]

Sweet - one thing - could you make the underside solar sail a little smaller  

[Zsoca]

So heres the HF-57N variant:

[Warcow]

It's even more awesome than before!
