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!
Nuke it, just becuz its a 'bar rumor' doenst mean it is a BAR RUMOR... as in its not a rumor from a bar.. if you can find get a screenshot of ONE rumor that is NOT true, then show it to me. ALL rumors are true, and are not drunken rumors. And note: TLR does have a few mistakes in its rumor panel thingy on the right. things like kurile sellin eagle and fp9 sellin falcon.. so i want genuine screenshot from the game

It's not so much racism as the way the races had to be explained to fit into the storyline... if they wanted to be racist, there wouldn't have *been* a Hispanic sleeper ship in the first place...
The races each have a characterising aspect..
Bretonia - Industrial, matching Britain's early industrial revolution.
Rheinland - Aggressive, matching German political attitides in the early 20th century and before.
Kusari - Honourable (for the most part), proud of making high-spec components.
Liberty - Central, influential, much as the US is now.
The Hispanic races simply wouldn't have fit, the whole culture would have been too hard to fit into the storyline...
OK, so you can take the opposite view that the storyline was based on these races instead of the other way around, but I maintain that if there had been racism intended, it wouldn't have been aimed at the Hispanic races...

@ Stormscape yes there is a sleeper ship wreck(U dont get anything from it)
it is located in omcron alpha , somewhere behind planet malta
@Cardamine
that isnt write as i explanied before there is the hispania in omicron alpha so where it says Before they reached siruis, well omicron alpha is in siruis( just look at your nav map down the bottom it says siruis sector) so the hispania did make it in to the siruis sector but only made it to the omicrons(which is pretty far out)
it is located in omcron alpha , somewhere behind planet malta
@Cardamine
the Hispania sleeper ship existed, but there was a Coalition saboteur on board, who detonated a bomb before they reached Sirius

right, checked it out.
the sad history of the hispania:
A coalition saboteur on board detonated an explosive device that crippled the ship about four years before it reached Sirius. the colonists were awoken prematurely, and schismed. half of them abandoned ship in the hopes of finding a nearby habitable world. they eventually arrived in Omicron Gamma and became the Corsairs.
the other half stayed aboard, and eventually drifted into Omicron Alpha, where they landed on Malta, which looked like a nice place to live. sadly, it turned out that the orange grass that covered the planet's surface contained a complicated organic narcotic dubbed "Cardamine" that caused extreme genetic changes, dropping the fertility rate, but increasing the lifespan among the colonists (the oldest ever Outcast died at the age of 244). Cardamine withdrawal is fatal, and so the Outcasts (as they begun to call themselves) were trapped on Malta, only able to foray out into the other sirian worlds with the aid of cardamine breathing masks that keep them sufficiently dosed up to survive.
eventually, they became bitter, and decided to take over the human colonies elsewhere in Sirius by getting the human population hooked on Cardamine, allowing them to rule Sirius by having a monopoly on the crucial addictive requirement of all the population.
as for the corsairs: I've always been hostile with them, so beyond what I learned on Malta, I couldn't say anything.
incidentally, I've found that the Hispania's wreck is an excellent place to hid during a firefight if your shields get too low.

Yo Cardaminer! What about the Corsairs? You forgot the greatest nation in Sirius. What's the obsession with Freeport 10? It would be funny if the 6th sleeper ship belonged to The Federated States Of Micronesia.
I'm making record time!
If only I had someplace to be...

lol, the Corsairs bit is not on my top list of priorities ATM, as I'm working on my MOD, as well as doing a couple of systems for Free Worlds, and then I'm working on Logical Jump Holes V3! Feel free to post your Corsair story here!
