I heard about a third game in a "trilogy", referred to as Conquest...anyone know about it?

I don't know anything about what games were suppose to come but what about pirates. I mean we have so many in freelancer you would think there would be one group in starlancer and maybe they could show the war from their point of view and they are the true winners.

well my 2 cents is that the alliance had to be the one to flee. cuz there would really be no point to freelancer if it was a communist empire
all my trading profits would have to go to mother russia

well heres my take.
the alliance creates more ships like the yamato and start capturing shipyards to build regular types like the washington and bremen
they get into the inner Sol. where the meet up with the coalition 1st fleet. a huge battle rages destroying venus. the coalition uses a massive cloaking device to cloak their carriers, get in close and fire. This causes unrest in the alliance fllet because of the point blank range combat. thus whack-a-mole tactics are used, fill all attack vectors with fire hoping for a hit, and thus the cloaks are scrapped. alliance makes a super heavily armored shroud that moves in and destroys the coalition shield generators but all are shot to pieces. the alliance makes a push towards earth where they find hundreds of dark reign type stations in orbit. this totally crushes the fleet. the last of the ships, combat and cargo, are given a skeleton crew and are filled with explosives, most are destroyed but they manage to take out most of the stations and the sleeper ships leave. the combined ion explosions cause a gravitational anomaly that causes the sun to go nova destroying the last of the coalition. Enter Freelancer.

@starlancerace: nice story, buddy. looks like you got a gift

Indeed, pretty Impressive

Quite an imagination u got there... kinda cheesy though

ah yes, but remember now that MS/DA changed the intro movie, the sun never got exploded (for all we know)

---

Anyone mind telling me why they did that?
Also, anyone think that the Nomad ship that Nova'ed the Sun was a time-traveller sent to make sure the meddling humans wouldn't, well, meddle in their affairs?

Actually, the Nomads did the sleepers a favor by destroying the Coalition. If the Coalition survived, they could've sent ships to follow the sleepers, maybe even use the warp engines to catch up.

If I remember correctly, there was no mention in SL that the Coalition was communist. It was simply a military alliance between Russia, China, and some other nations.

Well, MicroSoft/Digital Anvil scrapped the third game after SL didn't meet the sales requirements. Instead, they went straight to FL, albeit years later. The more time goes by, the less likely it seems that there will be another game in the series. There IS a game by UbiSoft called "Conquest: Frontier Wars", but I has absolutely nothing to do with SL and FL. It seems more like StarCraft meets "Starship Troopers".
