Aliens in New SC

from StarControl Forums

Hey, developers! Is it possible to reveal some basic info on aliens in New SC? How many aliens do you plan to implement? Will players be able to inroduce their own alien races via mods (with, say, static 2d models and backrounds and/or in 3d)? What about custom made voiceovers? Last but not least, why no humanoid aliens??? + anything else you feel like sharing at the moment :)

Arilou are almost a must have for me.... without precursors, having a race far advanced and to tie it to the rest of the series needs to happen somehow.

 

Syreen could be explained pretty easily, y chromosome extinction isn't a new concept and a race of nomadic, humanoids exposed to radiation could make a lot of cool story points.

I definitely want to see a variety of 'ages' among the races, from super old and established to other relative upstarts (like the humans must be).

I hope a telekinetic race will be created. A race that can build spaceships would need some sort of object maniupulation, and with humanoid races being frowned on, I think that would be a good idea.

 

Besides, it has possibilities for looking really cool.

What about a telekinetic vat of liquid? The aliens started as pools/ponds of symbiotic microorganisms their planet, developed telekinesis and sentience, and now can manipulate solid matter to build a society.

There were female AND male Syreen.  The reason why we don't see the male ones in SCII is because when Syra was destroyed, there was an all-female corps in space and so what few males they were able to save they kept VERY securely stashed away, for reproduction.

 

No Y-chromosome extinction.  The real cause of the gender imbalance is a Deep Child.

I understand the wanting to shy away from humanoids. However I would be remiss in my duties if I didn't state I really like Syreens. Honestly I think we should have a few of them in the game for balance and cohesiveness.

Well I hope they have monastic otters....

 

 

Opppsss Sorry I think that would be considered humanoid.... oh well back to tentacles and antennas..... crap we can't use Umgahs..... well how about non-corporeal beings? Nope feels too much like the Sylandro......

 

 

Bummer.

I will be happy so long as there is a sound effect in the game with a deep voice to "launch fighters".

I think bringin back member of the sentient milieu would be apprpriate if this can be considered a prequel. If this considered alternate timeline or a branch from SC 1 or 2 I woukd just go with all new races with one or two of the original races. Then again lets see what they have in store for us.  B)
