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!

there were eight to start with. france, italy, and canada were also in the alliance (ever played starlancer?), but the french and italian fleets were destroyed at the beginning of starlancer, so them two were scrapped. the canadian sleeper ship was destroyed on launch (you'll see it in the intro), and therefore five made it to Sirius, but eight were originally planned!

Yeah, I swear that I saw a fact that other 3 wasn't named because of lack of time

France and Italy were defeated at the beginning of SL. A defeated nation can't launch a sleeper ship. And 100 years passed between SL and the launch of the FIVE sleepers, so construction on sleeper ships hadn't even been concieved yet.

There were 5. BOTH intros(old AND new) say 5. You can watch the launch sequence again if you still think there were 8; NO OTHER SLEEPERS ARE VISIBLE.

Again, a bar rumor is NOT reliable information when compared to the game's intro. It's a RUMOR, and meant to be treated as such- not as something that can replace game history.

I agree, and it should have happened long before this. Where are the mods when you need them, in the Off Topics forum !?

People face it, THERE ARE FIVE SLEEPER SHIPS NOT EIGHT. We really need a sticky for all these n00bish questions. Something simple like "New to the forums ?, Common Questions answered here !" . The amount of repeated questions are getting to a ridiculous amount.

On another note, someone should count up all the posts posted in a year's time, and sort them into "Original Posts/Questions", "Hispania" and "Best Ship" topics/questions. Who wants to bet that "Original Posts/Questions" will be under 20% of all topics ?

There are five sleeper ships. You should not:

1. Trust a "rumor". Check a definition of "rumor" in the dictionary.
2. Trust a rumor that comes out of a place that sells mind-altering substance.

And Canada is not even an Alliance member.
