Yeah.. THe guy above me is right. Don't be spouting of your Ameri-hate garbage because a fictional ships is abandonded by a fiction faction and is used by a fictional miners guild.

By gum, and I thought all this time that Chris Roberts was a Brit and Jorg Neumann was a German.. Didn't know they were Yanks.

There's the cardiff mining facility at least.

I don't see a Washington D.C. system in liberty.. instead the capitol is Manhattan? Gee, maybe these fictional systems represent a fictional world where fictional places are represented fictitiously.

wow, now THAT would be something...

Gods dammit i find it a bally insult that York is only represented by a battleship! (which i can't bloody find)

We deserve our own bally System dont'cha know...

Actually i found most of the posts above hilarious, and as for the irish parliament being surrounded by marines with no one noticing... of course its possible!...
from what i remember of history at the time the Eire standing army was a bloke called keith with a pocket knife... and he was actually from grimsby... if they wanted a naval patrol he had to put on his waders... ;-)

(please note, the above post contains high quantities of Saccharine, Sarcasm, Humour and dangerously high levels of E-additives.)

Now that's another drawback about the game. Using non-fictional names to create a fictional game (Fiction game ?, aah nvm). No imagination at all.

Yui

Well! Why in not a system called Umea -my city in Sweden- and why not System Stockholm???? And why not Ghuhi system -village in africa- and why not Uluru system -Australian Ayers Rock- to honour me and those that have been tribes for ages. Why not?

*sigh*

Play the game dudes!

What is Hengist talking about? Ireland was neutral in world war 2 because ourcountry was invaded and held for 700 bloody years by a brutal English reign.So they decided no to fight beside a country that 30 yrs before was their enemy.As to your points German u-boats did not dock in Irish ports (they where allowed to pass through Irish waters-as we were neutral),English forces did not surround the Dail(irish parliment)Also Ireland returned all English pilots ,sailors ...who crashed /ran aground on Irish soil but detained German soldiers.Your opinion is obviously the product of an English education system that glorifies English victories and ignores the less favourable aspects Boer war,Ireland... Next time atleast put some vague research into a historical topic before you ever write such politically incorrect and offensive things again.
By the way My Dad has a Degree in Irish history and I checked with him so I'm pretty sure I'm correct.

As for Jim59 see above also how could such a ignorant comment in your second paragraph?The roads which you refer to (famine roads) were the only option given to a starving population (due to english landlords).in exchange for building roads to nowere a "generous" english reign repayed them with minimal food.Not only was the famine due to england the aid offered by them was minimal instead religious order and american aid was relied upon.

it has been said many times, history is writen by the victors. when there is no absolute victory both sides will create differnt versions of 'history'. all people will show propaganda to suport their cause. all we knwo is that the truth might be somewhere in between both extreems...
anyhow it is just a game, relax and enjoy it a bit... i have played many games in which things i like have been distorted to a very extreem point but that doesnt make me not like the game (just not like that bastard that wrote it...)

You need to just recognize you're dealing with a racist. Once you can accept that a post was authored by living excriment it becomes easier to disregard it as the brainless drivel it is and get on with your life.
