Thank you very much Ego for this great game; I'll hope that you continue developing this amazing game for looong time.
Love to see a fisical copy of this DLC, with encyclopedia and card game expansion, it will be very nice!!

Looks like I was right on time to buy this game! Freebies are always nice (:
Anyway I've been looking at the forums from time to time and in my opinion the communication between ego the community seems quite good. It's comforting to know you can be heard out here. And then this DLC as a bonus is great! From what i've seen the game is shaping up and looks 10 times better opposed to when it was "released".

Thx

I hope for a beefy performance improvement with 3.0 version. It's running relatively good right now, and my rig isn't too modern, but having a constant 50 FPS would be a living wet-dream.

I don't miss the Boron, I think their ships look stupid.

But I do miss the Paranid. Their ships were beautiful.

And I miss the Terrans/ATF. Their ships were even better. I really miss the clean look of the Katana, Yokohama, and all their stations. Or the high-tech look of the ATF ships.

Hopefully that's a couple more DLC packs right there

Regarding the date, it's looking likely that people will in fact be able to claim their free copy of the DLC for longer, most likely until it is actually released.

Edit: Typo.

My bad, I misunderstood the system

It would be interesting to see the solar system be reconnected.

On one hand, the Terrans did extremely well for themselves without the gate network anyway, building up their forces and technology. At the time of TC/AP they had as much power behind one jumpgate as an entire race's chunk of the core systems, perhaps more. They held their ground against the entire Commonwealth - imagine them being let loose on the relatively diminuitive powers in X:R's 4 systems.

On the other hand, though, the highways gave the Commonwealth races the same powers of expansion as the TOAs gave the Terrans. Whereas the old OL would have relied completely on other systems to fuel its tech factories, the highways let them harvest the natural resources in the area and become self-sufficient. Even an important system like OL would have a huge catch-up job if it wanted to go against the Terrans, but we know they're a bit worse for wear since the Torus ring was destroyed.

It could be an interesting story about old enemies struggling to align against the common foe of the Xenon, and maybe some good old AGI-smashing fights.

(hopefully I've not made any horrendous lore inaccuracies

)

I'd be very interested in the political interplay between the Terrans, and the existing XR factions.

The Terrans and Argon could make up after the disaster, and live happily ever after, hopefully fighting some other, new baddie together.

Or, the Terrans could disown the Canterans, and continue to war with everyone else.

Or, the Terrans could annex and remilitarise the Canterans, cutting the PMC/OL+HOA battle lines in two, effectively (but unintentionally) saving PMC from destruction.

Or, something I haven't thought of yet.

Here's hoping to find out what ES intends to do with the Terrans!

I'm sorry but I DO miss the Boron and I loved their ships. I loved the Boron Angel a lot, I had it edited to be a decent TS, it had the camera where it should be (unlike the XXL Mercuries, although I edited their cameras to be at the front as well).

I too loved the Boron ships

- wish they could somehow be incorporated into rebirth..

YOU are my kind of person!
Not just boron's ships are stupid, they are stupid as a whole race. The way they talk, how they express themselves, they are simply ugly and dumb.
I respect everybody who likes them, but I will never share that opinion.

Terrans are the way. Katana, Yokohama, those are THE REAL beauties.

Based on the intelligence vested in plot Split through dialog, I don't think we'd see comedy boron (AKA Jar Jar Binks) in Rebirth.

vukica · Post by **vukica** » Thu, 2. Oct 14, 11:19

the only thing i liked about boron and paranid was blowing up their ships.

Post by **Sparky Sparkycorp** » Thu, 2. Oct 14, 11:34

The arogance and rudeness of the Paranid definately made it more fun to kill them

The Paranid always reminded me of the Iridan Culture... (Iain M Banks)

The Teladi outpost reminds me of the Culture habitats also from Mr Banks.

Now sadly no longer with us.

I'm not sorry and I miss them too.

I want them all back.

I liked the quirky Boron greetings like "Welcome hairy stranger". They made me giggle.

That's a good one

...also, Superior lifeform notes double post.
