The game's development was cut short so Digital Anvil didn't have enough time to complete it before Microsoft snatched it away from them and put it up for sale. I posted something in "What do you think will happen in the expansion" earlier today. Gammu and Primus are clearly not completed and the game was destined for something greater. Since the game's release was scheduled, they had to put it out instead of waiting to finish it for some reason. Leaving us with a semi-finished game. But alas, such is the price of punctuality.


Or

They could have done it to make us keep talking about it like this waaaay after the game's original release so its legacy would live on. When did it come out? 2 years ago?

umm okay i hear all about a fifth sleeper ship called the hispania. what happened to it? according to the into they all made it out of Sol System alive. so where is this fifth ship?

also what did the corsairs really come from?, after all they supposedly have the resources to build battleships and super-heavy fighters, so where is this coming from.

the other 3 ships supposedly in the early sets of the game? irish would be bretonia, dublin system. Italians wouldnt be that bad problem being that the italians were all but wiped out in the battle against the coalition. Canada would be better being a major ally of liberty and bretonia, also wasnt Moose canadian? French wouldnt work, same reason as italians. Austrailia would be interesting, wasnt there a really effective austrailian Military unit in WW2? Brazil might be another option, a rather interesting one at that. One last thought norway/sweeden/netherlands/finland area.

tchus!

some fall.... I FLY!

The Hispania gave rise to the Corsairs and Outcasts. Run a forum search for it, or just read the sticky at the top of this forum about the 8 sleeper ships.

this is IG-2000
tell my freelancer fans where the hell is the Espania
is it in the game or what? and what is it with this Freelancer 2 is there gonna be one maybe it just a addon who knows...

tha- tha- tha- thats all foks....

IG-2000 out

The wreck of the Hispania is in Omicron Alpha near Planet Malta

They build the fighters out of scrap metal and things like that they find or trade for. The Outcasts use the Cardamine trade so they're filthy rich, and can import the finest things with which to outfit their ships. The Corsairs....I'm not sure what the Corsairs do for cash to make ships but they probably just plunder trade shipments for their materials.

maybe someone didn't understood that some Corsairs have Italian origins. Clearly
the Hispania carried italian colonist too. Even if the Italian fleet has been wiped out in starlancer, the civilian population survived. I can say that because one of the Corsairs(met in the space) has my Surname, wich is Fiorelli. trust an italian about that.

ok dudes i have it figured out,

there were 12 sleeper ships
United States: Liberty
Germany: Rienland
Brizial: Hispania
Great Britian: Britonia
Japan: Kasauri
Mexico: El Signia
France: Eifflile
Itaily: Romina
India: Taj Mahual
Canada: Niagria
Cuba: Micro Pacifica
Russia: Shinizkez

Just wondering...

I understand the Liberty, Hispania, Bretonia, Rhineland, and Kusari. But where did you come to the conclusion of the others? I think I'm missing something...

Brizial: Hispania

wrong, Hispania is Spain, hence the name Hispania. The Spanish name for Spain is Espania.

And I have no idea how you came up with teh other names. To teh best of my knowledge, Canada was of no importance in Starlancer (no offense to any Canadians) and Italy and France were wiped out at the beginning of Starlancer.
Russia would have stayed at home cause they won the war, same goes for India. And I don't even know if the rest of them was in teh game at all.

So either someone was pulling your leg, or you're pulling ours

Well, there had to be at least ONE Microsoft supported ship. Who could else manage all those Jump GATES?

Oh, and since Mr. Koerner aka. Bargib is in Rheinland, where is the Lancersreactoria, the supergreat uber Sleepership?

Anyway, i don't give a **** about such theories like this one. It was 5 since the intro says so. FIVE! Get it? 1... 2... 3... 4... 5!!!!!!!!!!

I really like this game of thinking up extra sleeper ships and giving them names -

United States: Liberty
Germany: Rienland
Brizial: Hispania
Great Britian: Britonia
Japan: Kasauri
Mexico: El Signia - hsould be the Montezuma's Revenge
France: Eifflile - the Zutalors
Itaily: Romina - the Garibaldi (full of biscuits)
India: Taj Mahual - the Rogan Josh
Canada: Niagria - no its got to be the Moose Jaw or Medicine Hat
Cuba: Micro Pacifica - say what? Cuba's in the Caribbean, and it should be the Salsa or the Cigarillo
Russia: Shinizkez - duh you're not q getting this are you? Russia was on the other side (Coalition)

there's the Swiss one, the Gruyere (its triangular shaped)
the Swedish one, the Volveus

course you could just have a big European one, but it wouldnt be finished on time and be grossly over budget and not work. it would have a highly original and creative name like "EuroSleeper"

Taw: LOL! A Swedish sleeper? Im from Sweden and would call it "Svenskt Sovskepp" wich would be - Swedish Sleepship

"Welcome, to the first anual EuroSleeper. Who will win the prize, a journey to... *drumroll* Sirius, and survive a bloody masacre?"

Romina?
I think that Belpaese is better, for an Italian sleeper ship.
