    I have to disagree with u on the rumor bit, but i completely agree with u on the news bulletins bit. It would have been nice if you could accept that find find the guys son news bit, 6 million credits could come in handy <img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

    Well, I have completed the SP Missions and gotten to a high level char and done the same in Multi. Every bit of rumor i have seen in that game was true. Except for the ones that do not have a true or false to it, like the ones that sometimes give you advice on enemies shields

    Sorry to rain on your day, but if you read SOME they are not all rumors, some tell you trade routes (Not a rumor) or others tell you of wrecks lost in some nebula or other (possibly rumor, but all have checked out). If all these are true why not belive the others? Beside this is a GAME. Not REAL LIFE. most rumors in real life arent true, but the game makers never thought obviously to put in rumors that were NOT TRUE in Freelancer.

    These are the piccies, I even took one to show u I wasnt cheating, After all it is a Liberty Dreadnought <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> ok, here are the pics <A href=´http://users.chariot.net.au/~bgod/Not%20Cheating.jpg´ Target=_Blank>Not Cheating! <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> </a>. <A href=´http://users.chariot.net.au/~bgod/First%20Encouner%20With%20Object.jpg´ Target=_Blank>First Encounter</a> <A href=´http://users.chariot.net.au/~bgod/Unkown%20Object%20Closeup.jpg´ Target=_Blank> Close UP</a>.

    Hey, Thanks guys! <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> for some reason I thought i would cop some flak from this because you have most all heard it before, but I´ll play multiplayer AND single player again and try to find out dates to make it the most COMPLETE history on the HISPANIA. If any of u know the dates Ill put them in the story just post them and ill update the first post, and give u credit. <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

    The Poor Poor Hispania. I drilled the poor rumor spreders on Malta and Crete to Death. THis is what I know. The Alliance in a desperate action seeking to surivive, Built 8 Sleeper ships, The Bretonia The Liberty The Kusari The Rhienland The Hispania Unkown Unkown Unkown Suddenly The Coalitions Forces Came in a large force and attacked. the Alliance had to rush. Only Five Made it through, The Bretonia, Liberty, Kusari, Rhienland and Hispania. While Four of them sped away in Safety something was going wrong on The Hispania. It had been Sabotaged. It is not known when It was Sabotaged but suddenly they were all woken up. They had to hold a meeting. Half the crew (later called The Corsairs)decided to leave in the shuttle craft (guessing they were maybe were larger) and left The ruined ship. Half the crew stayed on board (Known as outcasts) and kept it running till they sighted a habitable planet (at least with a breathable atmosphere(Known now as Malta). The others had finally found a planet with a breathable atmosphere too(Now Known As Crete). Now they were left to thier fate. 50% of each faction died in two years. CORSAIRS FATE After planetfall they made a home for themselves. They only had the ships rations to feed them. 2 Years later they ran out of food. The family heads had a discussion. One of the families (family names from surivived crew) was to be eaten. One was finally chosen and they Survived. 300 Years later they made contact with the rest of Sirius. They started attacking them. They attacked cargo ships which got them supplies. They would have more people if it were not for a tradition they have. In a nearby nebula the young children had to seek an artefact. If they managed to have survived it with their artefact they became part of the corsairs. Some died while trying to get their artefacts and never came back. I am not sure what happened to ones that came back without thier artefact. (probably not allowed to come back until they got it). One thing that Corsairs do with caputured enemies (truse me i would rather be dead) is they would keelhaul them, in other words putting them in a vac suit tied to a corsair ship and then the corsair ship would go through a jump hole... not pretty. THE OUTCASTS. When the crew that decided to stay on board got to a planet, they found one with Orange grasses. The only thing that grew in the acidic soil was the grass. (i am not sure how they procured food.) They sent out foraging parties but they had never come back again. rescue parties found out why. The grass was razor sharp. they would have gotten lacerated walking through the grass and ended up bleeding to death. They found out when they got into space they could not leave for long without getting withdrawl sympotms. They had to get breathers filled with cardamine gas. They had thought that one of the sleeper ships had gotten a sabotuer aboard so as to lessen the competiton for resources. They wanted to get the entire population of sirius back. They had found a way. Cardamine. It altered the users so that they became utterly and uselessly addicted to it. Cardamine is thier way of getting back at the sirius secotr. The corsairs want to kill the sirius sector off.

    I was once a rampant cheater. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_sad.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> But while playing Diablo2 I was getting bored and i realised why: beacuse my guy was invincible (pretty much) nothing could beat me so i got bored quickly, but i have broken that habit <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> I no longer cheat Yay! <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Trust me it WILL dramatically shorten the games life (how long u will play for and enjoy it), and it feels more rewarding finding and opening and playing them for yourself anyway! <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

    Yes thanks for pointing that out Crash drive, I did mean the unknown jumphole in omnicron ALPHA. siully me making a mistake like that <img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

    But there is ONE problem with that. You know about the little pictures that are next to what the thing is? well i noticed that it was a wreck icon and not a jump hole icon. Someone have a look at the ruined Ithaca research station, see if it shows a wreck icon next to it´s name (after all you cant dock with it!) maybe they put something there that they didnt want anyone 2 know about till the expansion (blowing up a sun!!!!!!!) though logic dictates that they could have just as easily deleted the object!

    I believe you are right stinger. I went through all the categories on my scanner and it comes up in only 2, ALL and SOLARS. now in the maunal it says SOLARS are: dockable locations such as space stations, outposts and planets. but when i selected it alas, not dockable. But maybe it once was dockable! so that all i could find out. maybe jus keep going to be bars on the Faulkland and Freeport 10. Drill the ppl who give rumors for info.

    Right I did the mission without missles and topredoes <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>. The is a torpedo/disruptor slot there and seeing that those nomads dont have cruise engines theres no point in having a cruise disruptor there. Also is it possible to get back into the Dyson Sphere? I wanna see if its possible to use that hypergate, (maybe, hopefully youll use it to go somewhere else in an expansion or somthin.) In multiplayer i never think of missles. I think they r stupid (but hey thats just my opinion <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> ). Have you fought the nomads in multiplayer?? God they can kill you quicker than a nuns first curry. <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>
