Freelancer Timeline

[Snapp]

What Chris Roberts meant with his "800 years beyond where StarLancer is set" speech was he meant the actual year 800 A.S. because that's when the original game is played out.

"It's one of the reasons why we split the single player off from the multiplayer game."

The way i understood his statement is that the Singleplayer "story" doesnt count when you look at the timeline from a Multiplayer perspective. Which is what i did because the forum/server is based on the multiplayer timeline.

From a Multiplayer perspective the timeline in the Freelancer "universe" begins in or near Sirius 800 years after they launched the sleeper ships, which would be 3000 A.D or 0 A.S. whichever way you want to look at it.

The events of the singleplayer game took place another 800 years later, for a total of 1600 years after the sleeper ships left earth, which would be 3800 A.D. or 800 A.S. whichever way you want to look at it.

Then that brings us to present day 3808 A.D. / 808 A.S. - Exactly 1608 years after the sleeper ships left earth. The 8 years being accurate only if 1 real year = 1 game year which i think it should.


I spent like 9 hrs researching and working it out, im fairly certain this is accuarate.
