The FreePort 7 Mystery

Mon Feb 05, 2007 8:48 am by hammerhead

I was flying around Sigma 17, from the Atka station to the Sigma17->Sigma19 jumpgate, when I stumbled across something strange - I later checked it and it appears that if you park by the jump gate and look toward the Medium Green sun, you'll see on it's right (assuming you're aligned with the system plain) the dwarf blue sun, and in between there is some strange box looking thingy.

When you get closer (it's around 6-7 klicks from the gate) it turns out to be the remains of a station - there is a blasted docking port along with other broken station parts. These parts don't add up to what appears to remain of the station in the opening scene, but it still got me wandering -

Are these the remains of FreePort 7?

Well FP7 was in a SigmaSomething system... That's what the others say

If you read the messages in Trent's neural net or whatever, it tells you more or less right at the beginning of the game where Freeport 7 must have been. The odd thing is why Liberty ships would have been out in that system and be so concerned about a freeport.

I felt the same way about those remains. The suns in the Sigma-17 system are exactly like those shown in the intro, but I think the neuraal net log says that FP7 was in the Omicron Minor system or something...

There are acutally two Freeport 7 systems. The one you found with the remains of the station is one of them. That is Sigma 17.
The other is an exact replica but without the stations or other fields in it. (it has the 3 system suns identical to Sigma 17). This one is used by the game story engine to give your the start up movie when you begin a single player story line from the begining (which is THN script) . But this system is "hidden" over near the storyline edgeworld systems where you eventually come to Dyson City near the end of the single player story line.
Its actual desination is one of the Omicron Minor sub-systems on the nav map if you ever "expose" it. But when you look at the system.ini file, it is nicknamed "Freeport 7" system.

It's been a while, but I remember in his Neural net when talking about his deal that he was on Kurlie(sp), which I know is in Sigma 17.

Trent: It's not the time, it's the sides that keep changing.

Omicron Minor?

Yeah, I've been there, done that. Changed the whole system into a battleground. Omicron Minor is indeed the system where they have the storyline movie, but it doesn't have alot of details. Can't remember that there were any freeport there before I changed the system.
