8 sleeper ship?

If you are stuck in a mission and do not know how to continue, this is the place to ask for help. Missing that elusive Level 10 Shield? Don''t know where to find the lost Ohtori ship? This is the only place where spoilers are allowed!

the person who posted that the other two were chinese,and russian are complete idiots. no offesne but they were on the coalition. I dont think the allience and coalition would work together trying to save the allience.

Anyway got some thought about it and i thought of this

Yeah we got the Americans,English,Japanese,Germans,Spanish (whose ship blew up kinda) but the othreei thought of carfully.


One could possibly be the French. Now i didnt play starlancer so they might have been on the coalition. Another i would think is some African state. Like i dunno, South Africa or something. Another could have been Sweedish or Greeks or Turks. I mean there is the Planet Crete. And the real Crete is part of Greece. Another ship coulda been the Irish but then again theres planet dublin so.

Those are some possibilities. Now i could go into ridiculous things and say like an Arabic or Hindu Sleeper ship. Or Australia and Oceina. But they dont have enough people to fill half a sleeper ship. lol no offense to u guys who live there.

ANYONE WHO HAS NOT COMPLETED THE SP GAME LOOK AWAY!!!!! ok near the end where the nomads took over the bodies and they had more advanced weaponary? Couldn't the nomads have taken over the alliance and had more powerful ships to destroy the sleeper ships? I mean come on the frekin sleeper ships are HUGE and most likely very strong so how could they destroy them so easly? And while all this was going on the nomads were watching anxicously to see the sleeper ships desrtoyed so they could continue to live in the sirrus system in peace. But when the sleeper ships broke through and made it there, the nomads got Pi$$ed off and annlihated the Sol System. Then the nomads went back and destroyed their "masters" and took over the origional nomads planet and went in to hiding...until...the rhinelanders dug them up and the nomads tried to destroy the Humans to regain control.

Why would they go into hiding? Why not just finish off the colonists when they are at their weakest, rather than allowing them to build up forces.

And I'm sure a race that blew up a sun could easily take out a sleeper ship, even if it meant nuking the system they arrived in. I think that's why the Sol destruction was taken out. It simply made no sense compared to the SP plot.

To get back on the subject of the sleeper ships maybe there were 8 in the launch bay for them but as you probably saw in the intro the coalition battleships bombarded the sleeper ship launch pad so it could be a possibility that all three were in there luach holds when blasts rained down adn annihilated the other three. One other question is on my mind though wher was the rest of the alliance fleet when the coalition attacks the helpless sleeper ships all i saw was teo capital ships and tons of fighters but nothing else of the alliance was even there until the sleepers launched. So where was the alliance then.

Even if the Sol destruction hadn't been taken out (some people seem to prefer the idea that it was destroyed), the Nomads were there to defend the ancient Empire. Not destroy it if anyone went there. It would hardly have been fulfilling their existance to wipe out the Empire in Sirius. I mean, what would they say when their bosses came back?
"Hey, I had an Empire here, you were here to look after it. Where'd it go?"
"Oh, well, someone came and built there, so I took the easy way and blew up the suns."
"How's that defensive?"
"Well, no-one'll invade again."
Kinda daft. Thats like the babysitter killing the baby so it won't get into any more mischief :S

MadJackMcJack maybe the nomads wanted a chalange so they waited until they got srtonger...or their "masters" put up too much of a fight and made the nomads weaker.

I think the other 3 ships will be found/explained in the expansion/sequel.
As for the Nomads: they are described as servants so they must have been too
damn stupid to use their masters' weaps/tech to its full extent...

Eight sleeper ships? I wouldn't doubt it. Who occupied them is another matter.
Okay.. Keep in mind Starlancer's storyline. In the beginning, the French and Italian fleets get wiped out. Not that it has anything to do with civilian populations of the above mentioned countries, but I will continue. Notice how all the forts in SL are all American or British. Baxter, Bear, etc etc. Judging this, I would say that the French and Italians weren't very powerful in the beginning of Starlancer. If their fleets get wiped out in the first act, that tells you they weren't very strong.

Another thing to keep in mind, there were more wars before the "Great Solar War" that took place in SL. Maybe the Italain and French fleets were already depleted before the Great Solar War even started.

So.. In the end, the three additional Starships were probably..
Bretonia II- Britain, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada.
Liberty II-America and Canada (or Israel.. If they are still alive)
Europa- France, Italy and Germany.

my thoughts (as if they mattered) regardless of facts

Italy, France and Austalia (and surrounding terratories.. like new zealand)
hey like to have said scandinavia (norway, sweden and denmark) but they went with Bretonia =
For the first thing it seems a better and a more properable story, that
not all the sleeper ships, manages "against all odds" to escape, and for
the second the reason stated by people who have played SL....

and as someone else commented, the game has a unfinished feel to it,
and as the games clearly hasnt been polished off, whois to say the story
dosnt suffer from the same rush to finish the game?

Man, if the story goes as it is, it really sucks.
It means that all the French, Swedish, Asian, Russian, South African and other countries chicks are all extinct.

i was thinking this post'd not last too long.. but over a 100 replies? ? ? this is waay cool man . .. here's my 2 cents;
liberty=USA
squadrons from SL: pumas
Kusari=japan
squadrons from SL: hornets, ronin
Rheinland=germany
squadrons from SL: vampires, and something else. . .
Bretonia=britain
squadrons from Sl: i cant remember. . . pirates i think, the one with top kills, 1:5
hispania: i'm guessing its a mix; mexicans, italians ? ? ?

and the other 3 ships;
since north america, europe, and asia is covered, what other continents that are developed??
australia?? they'd be too busy doing their 'gooday mate!' to think of sth else. and they go sleep at 7 not too much time to build a sleeper ship if you ask me (no offense to austrialians)
china?? i tot they were part of CS...
not russians, since they are CS,
i was thinking. . .
for some god damn reason, korea isn't in either SL or FL, they are good enough in their techs i'm sure.


presently, my world is upside down, so if u do not mind, u'll have to tok to my a$$
