Starlancer expansion pack would be cool but hardly probable. As for FL expansion - who knows, there might be sth released later, since the game seems to be sold quite well.

where you play as the coalition and battle against the Nomads after the sleeper ships leave

Here's the fact that's not exactly official: After the sleeper ships leave, a Nomad ship warps in and Nova's the Sun. So, the Coalition and what remained of the Alliance were wiped out, except for the sleeper ships. In fact, one could say that the Alliance won the war.

No, they lost. Launching the sleeper ships was a desperate measure. The narration clearly says that all the remaining Alliance fleet was concentrated on defending the launch site. There are no more remaining ships and fighters elsewhere.

FF, he didn't say that. he said, that as everyone in the solar system was killed, the sleeperships from the alliance were the sole survivors, thus more victorious than the coalition

that said, the whole thing with the nomads entering the solar systems never happened. There is nothing in the final FL story that even hints at that, there's even something that contradicts it: The Nomads have been woken by some archeologists or something, some time after the exodus.

@ChronoLegion - that doesn't apply anymore, that was the original intro movie, but they took it out!

War isn't about what's right, it's about what's left

http://www.cardamine.net/ - should be up and running after Christmas!

Logical Jump Holes MOD - It's um . . . LOGICAL!

if only we could just carry on fighting the Alliance-Coalition War. I'd never leave. What I'd really like is it not just be space combat but an integrated battle environment with ground forces that you can be part of, a strategic element in achieving objectives and planning attacks, even battles on Earth and Special Ops.
In a hundred years of fighting there's limiless opportunity.

but of course it will never happen, outside of my imagination.

Reading my mind, aren't you, Taw?
That would be cool. However, given the contemporary capacities, it'd have to beither a series of game or a singe HUGE one that perhaps only a few PCs in the world would manage to run. Just compare BC3000 etc. - you can handle craft in space and on the ground , but where's the fun? That's only my personal opinion, though.

Wait, after the Alliance pushed back the Coalition and "defeated" them, what stopped them from making more ships to go retrieve those in the Sirius sector? Or how come the Coalition didn't do the same when they were in power? And it mentions nothing about the Sleeper Ships in StarLancer.

Even though we'll never see a Starlancer expansion at this point, it seems obvious how it should work.

At the end of Starlancer, the Alliance is winning. But at the start of Freelancer, the Coalition is on the verge of total victory. How did we get there? If there were to be a Starlancer expansion, you should fly for the Coalition. This expansion pack would be the "Tie-Fighter" to Starlancer's "X-Wing," you know?

you so stupid!!! did you know that freelancer is the expansion pack for starlancer and

FL is not an expansion pack! FL is a whole new game with an engine built from scratch, completely and totally different from SL. It is a SEQUEL to SL. And I think it is quite clear from FL's opening movie that it is the continuation of SL.

FF's got it right there. and i also soemtimes do wonder how the alliance managed to lose. about 10 more missions and about 2 years more in the game time of SL and the war'd be over. The flying tigers'd wipe out everything in a jiffy. lets just hope the steiner dude is up to scratch.

the alliance couldn't have lost that much unless they went into hibernation for couple years, cause by the end of the game they've pushed the CS off jupiter, and europa. so its like a half-half there. and with them getting europa, which they say is a vital resource centre or summat, they'll inevitable produce more ships at a faster rate than the CS, even though they have an established base on all the planets (cause the alliance at the same time is whipping the coalitions' butts). so we can only conclude that the alliance went into hibernation ?

Maybe the Coalition forces were concentrated around Earth and closer planets, and the Alliance just beat off the forward attack force. Alternatively, they could have just run short of personnel - a lot of people were killed at the outbreak of the conflict. besides, during sch a long period many things could have changed. Actually, with all the weaponry they had and scattered colonies, it's a bit hard for me to imagine a war that would last that long - they ould've killed each other off long before the FL started.

It's better to be a worldwide known drunkard than an anonymous alcoholic!

Also, i thought that the sleeper ships were launched parralel to the storyline of StarLancer, meaning that after they were launcher, the alliance pushed back the coalition (thanks to the invincible pilot of the 45th and his annoying co-pilot Moose). It's a lot more settling, the alternative is kinda grim.

Wait, if we're stupid, and you're pretty much completely wrong, what does that make you ?
