-=[]CALLING ALL AUSSIES[]=-

[Marcus Lindberg]

Hmm good questions...the idea of a single ship is easy enough to rule out, as they where hoping to run the coalition blockade and a single, large ship would be to easily picked off

As for the later seperation, It could have been for a number of reasons...As the war suggests, mankind had outgrown a single planet and began looking for others, hence the 'single planet' colonization not working....Also, perhapse it was too difficult for a single government to control such a vast area of space, and had to segregate into others...we are talking about an 800 year period since their arival...who knows

But, also, the 'Alliance' could be a term like those used in WWI/II, an agreement between the nations only to last the length of the war, and hence yes they would have looked after their own citizens

Could go either way depending on you opinion

Well I haven't played Starlancer so I wouldn't know. I don't know where you get your information from.

I don't know what you mean by 'outgrown' a single planet, as the FL intro showed Mars, Pluto and several other nearby planets colonized as well. If you meant in terms of population, I really, really doubt they would've needed 5 planets for a population of a mere few thousand people. Not everyone was able to hitch a ride to their 'new home' you know.

A single government managing an vast area of space? Most of the houses were still grounded on their planets for nearly 50-100 years after their arrival. All they had to do was manage 5 planets, with barely a few tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands of people in each. It would be much more difficult to run China than it would to run 5 planets a less than a million people in each.

I did always see both the Alliance and the Coalition as just a bunch of nations that signed an agreement or treaty to fight those nations for some time the same way it was in WWII. There was no detail which lead me to believe that both the Alliance and the Coalition were single governments, especially since the 'Italian' and some other country's ENTIRE fleets were destroyed in a sneak attack by the Coalition in 2160 I believe. This lead me to believe that each country had their own fleets, and were not in a unified world government.

I look forward to 'bashing' your faction proposal.
