Starlancer was realesed before Freelancer.

Time is an illusion, lunch time doubly so.

I got a copy 2 weeks ago from EB Ganes. Try Ebay

in freelancers opening movie, it mentions a war. Starlancer IS that war.

But in Starlancer, Allies won, the coalition lost right? I remember at the end of the game Allie fleets pushed coalition back by such much. So what happened? Did coalition suddenly discovered some kind of killer weapon that changed the tide?

Something like that, yes .

yeah i think basicaly what happend is that even after destroying the final base in starlancer (people who finished the game know what i mean - killing petrov was the best feeling) the coalition still controled the inner planets of sol, and therfore had all of there ship production capabilities vs the allience with a handful of forts in the outer solar system, which in the long run left them quite screwed.

So is there any information about what happened to the Coalitions? Do they still stay in Sol or they have their own colonies? And why don’t they go hunt down the Allies?

reasons could include,

1. The Coalition are still mopping up the last of the Alliance in Sol, and will be too busy rebuilding the Sol sector

2. All their ships were destroyed before Coalition HQ could be warned about the colony ships launching

3. Space is BIG. The Coalition couldnt possibly be bothered figuring out the precise trajectories of the sleeper ships to go destroy them.

those are some possible theories on why the Coalition doesnt make an appearance after 800 years

p.s. You don't suppose the Bentusi are the Dom Kavash???

because sol was blown up by nomads, then in turn the alliance is the only surviving humans in the world. there have the spoiler i dont care.

Nobody really knows if Sol was destroyed or not. That was in an early version of Freelancer and not the final one that was released for sale. Maybe the programmers changed their mind. We can only be sure of what we see in the opening film for Freelancer.

So then why didn't the Coalition bother to hunt down the Alliance survivors? Only 5 sleeper ships escaped. How many people could they hold? The Coalition won the war and got the entire solar system to rule and exploit. What do a few ships going off to a distant galaxy matter to them?

Never played Starlancer, but I imagine that after such a battle, there would be much clean up to do and a lot of new territory available to expand in. Then again, perhaps they are completely fillled with blind hatred and are/were searching each nearby star system, but never finding the escapees. I kind of doubt that though, seems to me just getting an enemy out of your sight for good is reason enough to not care about them anymore.
