It´s prolly a secret fear of each house that if the two groups decended from the hispania, ever become one and started building a real army, like captial ships and ect.. and carry out their revenge upom the other houses, I do belive both Corsairs and Outcasts have a terrible grudge against the other 4 houses, the two combined into a major empire would mean big trouble for the rest of sirus. Prolly what might happen if a Freelancer 2 ever was made, of course there is always the Colition finding the sirus sector. GRASS!

8 sleeper ships??

-
Isn´t it obvious yet what the other 3 ships were? French Ontario Quebec
-
Wow. Just stumbled onto this while looking for info for my fanfic. Now I REALLY want to know about the the missing sleeper ships. Maybe i could use them in my story later on. And now sports....

Gravedigging is so fun <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> (glares at Outcast) There is no French sleeper ship, the french were wiped out by the coalition with the italians so get used to it. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

People seem to be forgetting about both the Chinese and Australians. although the aussies(me) weren seen much in either game, people saw plently of russian-accented chinese strike forces

Everyone knows that there was 8 sleeper ships... and 3 of them were made by microsoft... thats why nobody ever heard from them... they crashed, and when they tryed to press Crlt+Alt+Del it didnt work... Aaaah, microsoft... <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Kay-Axe - Commondore of Romanov

The Canadians were building their own sleeper ship, but it was tiny and crappy and they never finished it in time. When the sleeper ships were launching the Canadians hitched their own ship onto the Liberty and tagged along. The Canadians didn´t want to sleep, so they partied the first couple of months away until the Liberty cut them loose because they kept waking up the sleeping Americans.
-
Canada was probably with the Liberty. China is out of the question, since it was a big member of the coalition. Australia could´ve been a possibility, but they probably went with the Liberty or Britonia. France and Italy seem like reasonable choices, but I really can´t think of a 3rd.
-
Russia perhaps?
-
Russia was also part of the Coalition.
-
the French are lazy bums, they couldnt build a sleeper ship if they wanted to "If im phased and can walk through stuff, then why am I not falling through the floor?"
-
The Italian Mob would probably steal Canada´s prototype, then outfit it with the best coffee machines in the galaxy, and go cruiseing through the stars.
-
The french would build one with the nose of it sticking up so that when they landed they could look down thier nose at everyone <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

Ohh, that was funny! Some people are like slinkies. They don´t do anything, but you can´t help but smile as they tumble down the stairs.
-
the rumor was probaly just a bit of a storyline that got scrapped. Listen to the intro; 5 sleepers not 8 Death to the salad eaters!
-
Thats very possible. There are quite a few things in the original game that were never used such as guns, effects etc. So its safe to assume there are a few rumors there that they wrote but never followed up on...:O Shoot first, shoot straight, win always.
