They're not really in a system or in the game at all.

One of them looks a lot like one of the planets in the Texas system though. The other one looks like Planet Stutgard I beleve.

I always thought that was a damn shame. They are some of the coolest looking things in Freelancer, why they only used them for the menu screens is quite beyond me.

If you miss them a lot, you could make a mod to put them in the game somewhere. There are some rather empty systems.

The last word is mine. Always.

I always thought the fiery one looked like Planet Schutz but Schutz doesn't have any moons/planetoids near it like the menu planet. The menu with the weird rocks reminds me of the stuff seen in Tohoku.

Ever get the feeling... you're standing on plastic?

There is a nice view of a planet when you see the launch screen from Junyo. It shows a nice looking up aspect of the night sky.

The ice field one is cooler...I wish there was a field like that, with asteroids you could fly through.

I thought one of the planets on the start screen looked like Leeds.

NukeIt;
There are a few asteroids you can fly through.
Jump from Omega 5 to Cambridge via the jumphole and look around in the ice field just on the Cambridge side. There are 3 or 4 large ice chunks with holes you can fly through.
Do it backwards, at speed 138, all the while chanting "i am a goat" and you get a free ice cream maker

Just my $0.02, but it could just be the cardamine talking.

..you think you're done with the past; but the past isn't done with you..

MS™ made , you cant get there, how much you even try squesh through the screen like some Gholam .

If you look at the Ice feild screen long enough, two luxury liners fly by. Kinda cool to see them actually moving. Plus, you're forgetting the two bases in the screen, where are they from? And the ships that escort the freighters look like defenders, but the navy doesn't escot ships. An explanation please? --- RR16

Take another look at the intro to the single player game.
