The video is pretty cool. I especially like the song, but it's too bad the lyrics kind of praise a communist revolution. Well, it's too bad for me anyway...
Actually trying to take over house governments to take over houses, fighting pirates to protect civilians of future Coalition etc? I think that concept is quite nice.
I just dont like their friendship with Rheinland pirates, but that is all.

The Coalition isn't actually communist, they just model themselves on historic communist parties and the like. There is a difference in their conduct and alignment than that of say Stalinist Russia or "Communist China".

Its was a comparison of actual states which have declared themselves communist, even though falsely, as opposed to the Coalition which seeks a different cause than they would or did Goran.
I still don't get the flyign Sub though...

The flying sub is awesome.
I like it for the same reason that I like the WW2 style put into some of the gallic ships... steampunk spaceship design ftw.

While the Coalition in StarLancer was portrayed as the totalitarian communism today that we know of, the Coalition in Freelancer seems to be the form of communism that Karl Marx originally intended. Judging by the RP in the forums, the SCRA doesn't seem into totalitarianism. Although...blunt's post about re-education kind of freaks me out. Overall, I dislike communism because the nature of humanity (greed) causes it to fail (don't get me wrong, pure, completely unregulated capitalism has failed also due to greed, but not on the degree that communism has). But enough of this...
Is that submarine-ish ship the cruiser or the gunboat? Also...why does it look like that? The Coalition is one of the leaders in science and technology (Russians and Asians have been known to be smart. Also, they invented warp technology first in StarLancer). Wouldn't they have more elegant-looking ships? The rugged-ness, while it does shout "For the Revolution," doesn't really show advancement in science and technology in my opinion.
