' Wrote:What's a jump drive? The only method of travel like that were the intersystem gates, and they were massive ans stationary, certainly not capable of being mounted on a single snub ship. Even with cryonics, how is a single snub going to travel light years without losing power or supplies?
The Jump Drive was placed in each of the sleeper ships to allow them to travel at light-speed (like a trade lane). If you listen for rumors on Planet Malta, you'll hear an Outcast talk about eight sleeper ships and how three were destroyed before they could activate their Jump Drives. Also, since Atticus Rockford was a general, he probably had a cruiser or battleship that he used to come to Sirius. You can also see him clearly arriving and landing on Planet Manhattan from 5:40-5:50 of the Freelancer Extended Intro, which obviously shows that he had to be alive to pilot his ship down there. He could have had enough supplies just for himself while he flew through space. After all, he is in a crusier/battleship capable of supporting an entire crew. The only reason the sleeper ships were so large was that they had to support thousands of colonists. A cruiser/battleship could easily support one man.
Quote:Also, as I recall, Sol was part of Daam K'Vosh territory. The Slomon K'Hara destroyed it after the humans had been judged unworthy after the war or something along these lines.
Where did you hear this? Although I will believe that Sol was destroyed, I still want to know where you found this info because I can't find this in either the Liberty or Nomad Backstories. The Liberty Backstory says "They fled for the stars, away from the final spasm of war that swallowed their first home in fire and then in blackness." This doesn't necessarily point to the Nomads.
Sorry about all the questions, but I'm just really into the history of Freelancer.
