Here's the story: I recently formatted my computer due to uncountable cases of spyware and adware lodged in the bowels of my computer, thus deleting freelancer. No problem, I can just reinstall it, no problem. Wrong. Admist one of my dad's cleaning benders my freelancer CD's were admist a bunch of papers and such astrew on his desk. When I vainly looked for my CD's, I found nothing but misery and woe. I tried to redownload the game off of emule, but the files were corrupted and the .iso files wouldn't extract. So I come in hopes of any of you fellow freelancer-loving people. I was hoping one of you could meet me on aol instant messenger and upload all the files in the program files section where freelancer is stored. I don't know if there's information there that could allow me into your accounts or serial or whatever but I'm sure that won't be a problem since it should be able to be removed or something of that nature. I know it would take hours to send over aol instant messenger but I've tried all I can to regain my freelancer game short of buying another copy- of which I can't afford right now. So could any of you, please, find it in your heart to help me out here and send the files via aol instant messenger. My aim name is SMHogrefe, and you can IM me at any time. My email is [email protected] (no misprint on the schogrefe part).

I read that the Hispania was damaged or something and a group that would be the Corsairs (P.S.: CORSAIRS RULE!!!) flew off in smaller ships to Crete, and the Outcasts used the Hispania for the rest of the way. By the way, GROSS FACT: the Corsairs ran out of food and had to eat each other... EEEWWWWWW!

Scotty you have the wrong place methinks...

Ok: I don't beleive the Russians have been mentioned. They are one of the biggest nations on the planet. So: what happened to them?

Also, how do we know for certain there were 8? And what are the names of those?

Russia was one of the Coalition nations and therefor would have no sleeper ship. Nor would china as they were also part of the eastern coalition.

So if we break it down (correct me if i'm wrong):

Western Alliance - North America, UK, Spain/Portugal, Germany, Japan, Italy, France, probably Greece. Belgium, Holland and the Scandanavian countries were most likely on board The Rheinland. The 5 that made it we all know, Italy and France destroyed by Coalition surprise attack.

Eastern Coaltion - Russia, China, Pakistan, Middle Eastern Countries, North Africa probably. No Sleeper Ships as they now control the Sol System and won the war, so they don't need to leave. Unless of course your watching the old FL intro, in which case the eastern coaltion was destroyed by Nomads.

Obviously, with the French and Italian fleets destroyed at the start of SL, i would imagine, if there is anything behind the rumour, then i imagine Greece would have been the other sleeper ship. Probably the Olympia or something... Just how i see it though. Greece are a major playa in the EU so its logical i think.

About an Italian colony in FL2. I don't think so, they'd probably would have surrendered to Coalition blockade

EDIT:Finnish sleeper ship would be called "Perkele". Nah Finnsh wouldn't run away.

i was just wondrin.when u watch the intro movie once the sleeper ships get past the blockade they suddenly accelerate very fast.but when u play freelancer u cant go nearly as fast.cause it would be cool if u could just fly to all the systems instead of jump gates cause it would be more fun that way and u would have a bigger map.


P.S ever noticed how planets are bigger than suns in FL

the hispania is in the ommega theta system(for ur inform.)

u might want to find it.

ps havent u been there yet?

but-shadow killer-it wouldnt be any fun and it would be tooooo easy.for instance:
ur being followed by enemies u could just jump into the next system.couldnt u

have fun playin shadow ;-

PS IT WOULDNT BE ANY FUN

Ok, here's what I know from playing starlancer and reading the storyline, etc. . .

The coalition was made up of 3 countries, Russia, China, and Iraq.

The alliance was made up of 8 countries, United States, United Kingdom, Spain, Japan, Germany, france, italy and one more I honestly can't remember.

From what I've read what happened was a coalition agent successfully sabotaged and destroyed 3 of the sleeper ships before they ever launched, frances, italy's and the 3rd country's. The hispania was almost destroyed however the coalition saboteur was caught before he was able to destroy the hispania. Sadly, the coalition attacked and the sleeper ships were launched before anyone could repair the damage to the hispania.
As far as when they arrived, they all launched at the same time however the Liberty arrived first somehow then the other 3 then finally the hispania hobbled in all damaged before they were ever able to make planetfall. The outcasts are the survivors who said f*** it and landed on malta to be card junkies for the rest of time where the corsairs decided to go on and try and find something better only to settle on a similar desolate rock 2 systems away most likely using escape vessels or something.
What happened after the sleeper ships left I honestly don't know, I do know that starlancer would be a lot funner if it was as easy to play as freelancer. Not having a joystick makes life very difficult in that game.

Ok who besides me counted the Sleeper Ships CONSTANTLY during the CGI Flick? Cuz I saw (after a while of playing and re-playing it) the it WASNT a Sleeper Ship that blew up in the film, it was a Coalition Carrier in front of the Sleeper. U can hear that YEHAW/AAAAAAAHH!!! When the Coalition Carrier was blown up that was either the Radio guy on the Sleeper or the Carrier. hmmm... well... I saw 5 leave into HyperSpace NOT 8 and I counted them lifting off, coming through the atmosphere, AND Breaking through the blockade THERE WERE 5, END...OF...STORY. Have I made myself clear?

At the beginning of the game....
it was 23rd century... Mankinds' darkest hour....
8 sleeper ships?
no Russian, Chinaman, coz these 2 belong to Coalition
i suppose the other 3 were: 1: Roman
2: Cangaroo (wrong spell?)
3: French

Kangaroo (I'm australian)

Kangaroo? Huh I don't understand you! Heheheh

Oh by the way there were 5 sleeper ships, no more...
I haven't played Starlancer yet, but I have heard/saw quite a few things bout it, and it looks interesting... Anyway I am just wondering where did some countries disappear??? They didn't even mention them in the story... (Countries like Lichenstein,Switzerland, Poland, Slovakia,Slovenia, Hungary, *Serbia-Montenegro*, Albania..... etc.)
