Russia. Why is it not there?

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!

Russia. Why is it not there?

I'm a bit ashamed about Russia. It may well not be the great power nowadays but it WAS. Some time ago. And it may well be in the future. As I'm Russian it would've been very curious for me to look at how the Russian space would look like. There'd have been planets like New Moscow, new Saint-Petersburg etc, I suppose. :-)

Maybe Russia was in the coalition?

Post Thu Jul 31, 2003 1:25 pm

Maybe you shouldn't answer your own questions and try the FAQ's or the stickys.
But yeah, Russia was (is) Coalition.

ummm why couldt they replace Germany/Japan with russia
the REAL slim shady

I now wonder if anyone payed any attention to the Starlancer Story. Watch the cutscene and think about this. Coalition = China and Russia, possibly more.

Post Thu Jul 31, 2003 6:31 pm

because Germany/Japan is better than Russia

Post Thu Jul 31, 2003 8:10 pm

This is nothing to do with 'this' is better than 'that'. It is a story line from a game. Please no more. I recall LENGTHY threads on this subject, no need for any more.

Russia won the war in the solar system. We're the losers in Sirius. You've got your own system to play with.


p.s. Would you rather have New Moscow, New Petrograd ... and New Chechnya???

Nah you´re right...
New Chechnya??? (thats not a city thats a kinda state...an evil state)
Ps there is no such city like Petrogad...(i think u mean Saint-Petersburg, where I am from...)

I'm sorry to see that there are people who probably hate Russia here. Anyway, the topic was not intended to provoke anti-russian rants, so I suppose we should simply stop this useless discussion. The topic was not so exciting, I admit.

The few russian friends that I have I treasure for their unique understated wit and comedic flair. They can also drink Vodka like no one's business, and I swear to god that is not just a cliche. That's hardly the point, but I just thought I'd toss my two cents in.

But yeah, The russians/chinese in the game won the original war, and hence are not present in Sirius, since the Sirius system is populated by the losers of the war.

You will also notice that the coalition was not painted as the bad guys in the opening scene. The two sides were fighting even though no one could remember what they were fighting for. What was important was that one side emerged victorious, and the other fled to Sirius.

Even though the coalition is rather brutal and nasty in SL. After 100 years, I'm sure all that either side wanted was to end the war, but neither side wanted to end it in their own surrender.

Yeah basically Russia, along with their subordinates, since that's the only place I can possibly see for the other countres, won the war, and the loosers went into self-imposed exile.

Post Mon Aug 04, 2003 5:53 am

there would not be russian space in freelancer because if russia was in coalition they would've been destroyed by nomads like in original cutscene

i ate a booger so you ate a turd.
