Why not an Italian System? <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

    In the Italian system, bartenders would be quite fat and wear big chefs hats and talk with an Italian accent while asking if you want more pasta: &quot;Bongiorno!! Welcome to-ah my-ah humble little-ah cafe! What-ah can Mario get-ah for you?&quot; And instead of pirates, there would be the &quot;family&quot;: &quot;Ey! Tough guy! ´Dis is Guido, an´ I´m tellin´ ya ta drop dat there cargo and get outa here! Fugetaboutit!!&quot; Wap &quot;It´s you Leia, you´re my sister.&quot; &quot;I know. Somehow, I´ve always known.&quot; &quot;You KNEW?[!?[! BLECKH[![!&quot;

    Nice one WP...Another group might have been a nice touch, but unfortunately the coalition, etc members were all decided back in the days of starlancer! That would definately bring an added element to the game though! <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Maybe in a future Mod that can happen <img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

    Hey guy, I´m Italian, you will not be laughing so much when one of the New Italy´s Very Heavy Fighter will be on your back! <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Just kidding, but my proposal was somehow serious :/ Instead it´s a good idea to have the Family faction controlling New Italy.... (actually it´s not anymore this way in Italy!) Stefano

    Actually...the idea of an Italian system has some merit. Have a resort world, or Luxury Liner called Venice... The anti-Gov´t faction called &quot;The Family&quot; with the leader only known as &quot;The Don&quot; Would have to dump the stereo-type bartender guy (Don´t want to offend some people...I personally like it...but some people wouldn´t...Like the complainers that having the German´s as the bad guys) Even the Family idea may tick some people of....But as they say...You can´t please all the people all the time... But then you would have to explain where another sleeper ship came from...The only sleeper they mention as being lost is the Hispania. Maybe Earth sent out another couple of sleepers after the first ones... Didn´t know about each other, because the system didn´t have any jump gates...Just a couple of well hidden jump holes.....Hmmmm Food for thought... -Narf

    <font size=1 face="trebuchet ms"><BLOCKQUOTE><hr size=1 noshade> The Italian ship is still on its way.

    There was a Canadian ship, but at the last minute they decided not to support any of the other nations and remained behind... I´m a Canuck so I can make that joke. Hopefully I haven´t opened a can of controversial worms though, in light of recent events in the US and Canada position (ie, stationary). <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Wap

    Hrrrm... There could even be a French system. As soon as Pirates show up, all traffic disapears and you hear screams of terror! YaY! Remember, while Jesus loves you, Everybody else thinks you´re an ass.

    You´re right TheVenge...I can just imagine a French system. All their fighters would be armed with extremely potent white flags. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> I came. I saw. I conquered. And sometimes get conquered. &quot;I´m Natrunner, I don´t really run TLR but I do have an understanding with those that do.&quot;

    I came. I saw. I conquered. And sometimes get conquered. "I`m Natrunner, I don`t really run TLR but I do have an understanding with those that do."

    I think that there are only US, UK ,asian, and german systems coz those were the four members of the alliance side in ´Starlancer´ fighting the russians, can´y remember what the russian side was called though and it may have been Japanese rather than all of asia, been ages since I played it though

    A lot of the countries people are asking for were probably grouped together with Bretonia or Hispania. They were either annexed during the war, or were already united sometime before that...
