SPOILER: How many ships left Earth???

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!

No...all my effort in vain...

<<< SPOILERS: CONCERNING THE HISPANIA'S FATE >>>
No ships were launched from Earth. All 8 ships were launched from Pluto. A Coalition fleet came and destroyed 3 of the 8 ships in Sol while the other 5 escaped. A saboteur destroyed the Hispania's main engines. Half the crew (the Corsairs) decided to leave in shuttles (or life pods or something. I'm not sure). The other half of the crew (the Outcasts) decided to use the Hispania's Secondary and/or Auxillary engines to continue to the Sirius Sector. The Corsairs landed on Crete and the Outcasts landed on Malta. That is why the Hispania is awfully close to Planet Malta while it is nowhere near Planet Crete (by that I mean it's in another system).

Viper, you effort is much apreciated and therefore let me be the first (and most likely the onlyone, but who cares, it's the idea that counts ) to vote for this to be a sticky.

There, better now?

YOU PEOPLE ARE STUPID!!! YES 8 SHIPS OR LESS LEFT EARTH MORE THAN 5 DID!! IF YOU EVER READ NEWS OR RUMORS YOU WOULD NOW THIS!! THE SLEEPER SHIPS TOOK OFF AND WERE DESTORIED THEY DIDNT SAY ANYTHING BUT THEY SHOWED THEM IN THE INTRO!! THE HISPANIA WAS THE SHIP THE AUTHOR WAS TALKING ABOUT AND YES ALL THE PPL SURVIVED ON IT!! 1/2 of them left early and formed the corsairs...while the others road it out til the end and started the outcasts.....and it wasnt from a DRUNKEN npc it was for the bar TENDER!! if you ppl make any belief or the game they had more sleeper..do you think they could fit all of those ppl on sleeper ships? and why do you think most of the ppl in the world arent there? like russians? they arent here....french? NOT THERE...yes and notice how the lack of ppl? not even close to half the ppl in the world are there...and if there were to make an expansion it would be about all the nmes of the ppl who came to sirus(havent played SP in so long)came to attack.....all the factions would join and attack in such war it isnt funny....but no thats called HALO.....so stop not beliving you stupid pieces of crap....

First of all, don't flame
Second, don't shout (caps)
Third, they were launched from Pluto
Fourth, I already posted the answer
Fifth, there are good reasons why certain nations aren't in Sirius

@Nickless
Thanks for caring, but I don't think anyone else does . I just posted a summary in case the people who are too lazy to look up the topic still don't know.

THEY DIDN'T LAUNCH FROM PLUTO!

If you watch the Intro movie you see the Coalition ships closing in on the JUPITER system, and that is where the sleeper ships launched from, one of Jupiter's moons! Bloody hell I thought that was obvious!

Love is spreading through these forums, but not in this post.
I fear a lock is bound to happen and I think it should have happened long before to came to this.

It's only a game, who cares wether or not they launched from Puto or Jupiters moon. Play the game. That's why you bought it.

I also wish the admins would take away the pics that belong to the unofficial intro. It's causing to much confusion.

Well, the rumor for the Outcasts said that the sleeper ships were launched from Pluto, and the Outcasts are the almighty intelligent Maltanians.

And, yes, the intro does show the Coalition fleet closing in on the Jupiter system, and an actual video is quite reliable also.

So there is conflicting information and i think it's just an inconsistency that arose while making the game because people were assigned to different sections of the game therefore errors may occur.

But you don't have to shout .

we're just covering stuff that's already been covered countless times, and i agree with nickless in the fact that this thread should have been closed long before it came to this

What's the point in living if you can't feel alive?

I thought PLUTO was INHABITABLE?
Unless they managed to perform a terraforming operation in that planet in middle of a war, which I doubt.

You're going to mention Pluto as uninhabitable and not think about the gaseous giant that is Jupiter???

Post Sun Dec 14, 2003 2:19 am

EZKill: 2 things

1- Don't dig up old threads...
2- They never said they lived on Jupiter. They did however mention Jupiters Moons, wich aren't made of gas

People, face the truth. There are F.I.V.E (FIVE) Sleeper ships NOT E.I.G.H.T(EIGHT). The original into was W.R.O.N.G (WRONG) and the current intro is R.I.G.H.T (RIGHT).

I swear, I'm gonna torture that bartender and paste up a picture of his confession that he was drunk on that day and that there are five sleeper ships, not eight. Can someone (preferably a modder) make a mod that makes the bartender confess ? You will have my gratitude (and many others).

I stick with peer pressure

So there was 8

Unless people change their minds, if they do, however, I'll agree with 5
