Which year do we have?

[Skorp]

Good morning,

as I haven't found a topic about this subject, I'm gonna ask straight away...

Which year do we have on the server?

The Nomad War ended about 800 n.S. , but how many years have passed since then, and what date is it now? I'm about to write a Freelancer timeline file with all the stuff that happened within the last 800 years, so that would be important.

Thanks!

Thanks for the Info!

But there's something that irritates me : Igiss says that the SP campaign takes place between 800-801 A.S. , but ingame if you look at the reputation window under the entry "Freelancers", it mentions Edison trent, hero of the Nomad War with a date like 799-803 as far as I remember... but that would be 4 years! Or could the nomad war have taken much longer, with the SP campaign being only a small part of it?

The nomad wars started with the discovery of the artifact i belive. When you first undock from manhattan in SP, you see the donau trying to dock with newark station, having aboard, admiral schultzki ( bad spelling there..) who had allready been infected by the nomads a couple of years ago, and attempting to do the same to liberty's president.

So, basicly, the war was allready waging. You only find out later.
And im sure that there was some cleaning up to do after trent made that portal which sucked all the nomads in on the last SP story line mission, right?

Been here since Discovery 4.77 (lurk mode engaged)

I have recently met and discussed with Atalawohisdi the trader that flies the Caribe. Just so everyone knows, I engaged in Sigma 13. He flies through half the system before going back to New Berlin, where he cruises from one side of the system to the other, hugging the sun as close as he can. All the while, he flies near Battleships trying to scrape me off. I finally send out the white flag, and move back to Sigma 13. However, it was a ruse, and he bit. Knowing his trade route, I interdicted the trade lane and the chase began anew. It ended, an hour after it began, with me retreating, out of Countermeasures and getting very irritated.

He kept boasting how he has never been caught; I'd like to see him beat until he begs to pay, then beaten some more.

- Best day ever.

This makes me wonder: how in-game year corresponds to our real year? Is it 2 RL years == 1 IG years, or is it the same?

Asking this because while we have numerous both private and global stories/events going I have very rarely seen any actual dates, usually they were for past events.

For example where does the current RM vs TBH/corsair war have started on the game timeline? Do we have singular common timeline or do we go with "parallel" timelines within specific time range?

Well assuming that year 800 was when Discovery mod was made 8 IG years = 1 RL year aprox.
