The "8" Sleeper Ships - Compilation thread

Okay, everyone seems to be bickering about the "8" Sleeper ships that existed, and for no reason. Since (for some reason) , people are to lazy to do a forum search about the topic, I did it for you. Here are some threads that are highly detailed, so read away :

Compilation 1 (11 pages)

Compilation 2 (2 Pages)

Compilation 3 (7 Pages)

Compilation 4 (4 Pages)

Can a mod please sticky this, so people can read to their hearts content ?

EDIT : Added an extra 2 links.
EDIT: Small typo

Ok guyes i want to just point sumthing out here
The official site says:

Five great ships launched during the Exodus, each protecting precious human cargo deep within their metal wombs. They fled for the stars, away from the final spasm of war that swallowed their first home in fire and then in blackness. Somewhere out there they would make a new home. They would begin again. This time...this time they would not repeat the mistakes that had been made before.

Five great ships. One was lost en route. The names of the other four now are legend: Kusari, Rheinland, Bretonia, and Liberty....

There are FIVE ships

Sum guy sed this and whell i must say i's wrong all 5 ships did make it because while flying about i dont remeber where i found the Espaya or sumthing like that the 5 ship its actualy there in the game have fun finding it i dont know about the outher 3 if there is eney, but i thought this might help a bit (just doing my bit)

The Liberty: That building on Manhattan that has a sign on it that says "LIBERTY." I don't know about the other 3, but I assume they either also became buildings or they were scrapped.

For the sake of this thread, lets assume that the bartender was high on cardimine, and blurted out the wrong number of ships, okay ?

Post Mon Jun 14, 2004 3:59 am

I think that the producers just didnt want to spend the time doing 8 coloines so they cut it down to five also i think that they couldnt decide what the other 3 factions would be so they ground em into dust.

Why would i reply ive been putting up topics and all they do is get deleted (DAMN! IT!)

The hispania can be found in Omicran Alpha, if im right at 5D. The story behind it: the people in this ship woke up to early and then the people in the ship didnt agree what to do next: the now so called outcast decided to stay and the now so called Corsairs decided to move on. as you probably all know they still hate eachother like hell.

There were 8 sleeper ships. 3 never made it out of the solar system, The Hispania barely made it into Sirius, and the other four landed just fine.

I guess freelancer 2 will be in the Orion system with the French, Italian and Chinese colonies

Post Sat Jul 03, 2004 9:06 pm

I don't think so, I thought they were blown up or something .....
I mean , come on, if the Coalition secures the system, wouldn't they check everywhere for every other Sleeper Ships around ?

Post Mon Jul 05, 2004 6:40 pm

The French and Italians were blown to dust at the start of Starlancer and the Chinese I thought were part of the Coalition. As for the rest of earth, I don't know whether this ties in or not but if you have seen the edited Freelancer intro movie the Nomads appear while the Coalition are finishing off the last of the Alliance and send a huge pulse to the sun. It blows the sun up and the resulting shockwave kills everyone and everything except one Alliance general that was on the dark side of some moon or something. Unlikely i know but it gets weirder as he, by himself flies his ship to the Sirius, he has to warn them about the Nomads.

Why does the guerrilla fighter fight? We must come to the inevitable conclusion that the guerrilla fighter is a social reformer, that he takes up arms responding to the angry protest of the people against their oppressors, and that he fights in order to change the social system that keeps all his unarmed brothers in ignominy and misery. - Ernesto Che Guevara
