The "8" Sleeper Ships - Compilation thread

Wed Jul 07, 2004 1:02 am by Spartan-117

It was the 23rd Century
mankinds darkest hour
The war had been raging for almost 100 years, we had been fighting for so long, none of us knew why it all started in the first place, all we new is that there were 2 sides

THE COALITION AND THE ALLIANCE

For Decades millions died for the same piece of rock again and again Finally one side managed to gain the upper hand, THE COALITION. In despiration the ALLIANCE launched 5 SLEEPER ships the hope was for them to begin again far from the wars and strife that had befallen earth, the start free from the predicduce that had devided us for so long, each sleeper ship was chrisaned after its patrion nation.

THE BRETONIA
THE RHEINLAND
THE HISPAINIA
THE KUSARI
THE LIBERTY

Against all odd the colony ship broke through the coalition blockade and headed to the sirius system.

That was 800 years ago, when we came here to rebiuld are lives we've come a long way since then, we have grown, we have prospered , we have flourished but we will never forget.

5 were launched, never says how many were built!!!!!!!!!!

Got Visual on bogey Dropping the hammer,

I know this probably seems too nitty-gritty for most people (like arguing over the amount of Cardamine it takes to get an Outcast high: it's pointless), but there is an excellent point that was just raised here.

To throw in the nautical terminology: to "launch" a vessel implies - in the most literal term - to have the vessel operational and underway for whatever purpose. In this case, a voyage to Sirius.

However, there is nothing to DISPROVE 3 ships having been destroyed prior to the voyage to Sirius. Say, in their drydock. The point of the French vessel having been destroyed in drydock is certainly a good one: that would not have been a technical "launch", since the vessel was not operational and underway.

i watched the video again just now, and when the narrator says there were five sleeper ships, i only counted 4 coming out of the planet

PS i think china was with the russians to form the coalition. Commy bastards

The way i see it, it makes more scince that there would be 14 sleeper ships.

The game data says that the liberty was launched 2 years early, but if that was the case, they why were there 4 ships leaving with it? I honastly belive there were 14 ships. I have done a game analiss, even talked with some of the designeres at digital anvil and came up with the most likely list of the sleeper ships.

United States: Liberty
Germany: Rienland
Japan: Kasuri
Spain: Hispania
United Kingdom: Britonia
Mexico: El Signia
France: Liberté
Italy: Gladiatore
Russia: Cnacmtenb
Romania: Independência
Cuba: Micro- Pacifica
Norway: Frelser
Austraila: Aussie
New Zealand: Wikekamoku

I just spoke to the guy and he said there were 8, but 3 were shot down, 1 (the hispania) was lost, and the other 4 u know,

Just two spelling errors so far, "Commie" and "Hispania," although that n should be an ñ and you can ditch the "i." Sorry, just two things I noticed. As for how many were built, who cares? There could have been 1,000 ships, but only 5 made it and that's the only 5 that matter. And by the way, some of the other ships names SUCK. Honestly, be a bit more creative that the "Aussie." --- VH16

I read somewhere that of the 8 ships, 1 was destroyed before taking off. 2 were never built cos the coalition wiped out the 2 patron nations. The Hsipannia was badly damaged and floated into Omricon whatever where planet malta exists.

Australia would have been taken over by the Coalition, especially China. Even now, there is more Chineese in Australia than Australians.

PS: I am NOT trying to be racist, I'm just pointing out a fact.

netik's is right, the coalition would have long since taken over Australasia.

i reckon someone should write a short fan fic story about wot happned to the hispinia, i think id be cool

the definition of freedom is "the ability to do whatever you want" but so long as laws exist we are restricted in what we can and cannot do, and as no socity can exist without law no socity is truly free

I think someone should convince the digital Anvil peple to tell us, as fan fic might be fun, but it's not real. (But neither is Freeleancer... )
