Yeah, just click the link in my signature and you'll find that the back story for my fleet is similar to Colony Wars too. It isn't all that surprising when, oh say, The American Revolution is frequently used as inspiration for a plot. At least that was somewhat the case in my back story. With a little twist here and there of course.TimoK wrote:i've never heard of colony wars before, had to google that one... well this storyline and setting isn't exactly the most original thing ever, just something fairly simple to play with.
But yeah, fighting for independence is a common element in war stories and stuff so yeah you might spot similarities in different fictions.
I've finished mission 3. I've noticed that I need to right click the links and press "Save Link As . . ." to download the encounters that have been uploaded to the ship database. Otherwise it takes me to a web page that contains all the code for the encounter file or something.
