Is it just me?

[The Razgriz]

So, I was bored the other day and decided to try to dig out my copy of Freelancer for some good old fashioned nostalgia. I couldn't find it so I decided to go online and just buy another copy. When I found it, I noticed something that hadn't occurred to me before. The Anvil Carrack looks suspiciously like the ship on the cover of the Freelancer case. Was this intentional? Did I miss something during the Carrack's development? Maybe I'm just slow because I haven't taken an interest in the Carrack until now, since I got "stuck" with one from the UEE Exploration Pack.

Remember, Erin Roberts was in charge of making Freelancer and now SQ42 as well as several of the SC ships.
No coincidence.

My God I loved that game. Probably still my favourite game of all time.

Where did you buy it? I want to play it now. Haha

I picked up a copy off of Amazon for about 20 USD. And it is worth every penny, at least to me. Still one of my top 5 favorite games of all time.
