And when I go take some photos of railway cars for reference, it'll have a better variety of cargo too!

Wedge: The idea is that he's got his partner on his wing behind him. When he explodes one of his fins will spin towards his wingman and there'll be warning klaxons and the computer will be spouting "WARNING! WARNING! PROXIMITY ALERT" in the wingman's cockpit.
If I can pull it all off and it actually look good, I'll be impressed lol.

Why? Seriously, why are spaceships and space-combat so cheesy nowdays?

My take is that it should be like reality, where cargo ships don't have their own weapons. In a future where space is policed by the military, why do you need armed freighters? A waste of resources when piracy is uncommon. In unsafe territory there's always escorts.
