I am just wondering if anyone has seen the fossilized reamains of the creature with a 1 km wingspan?

I have not seen it and was wondering if it is even in the game.

If you have seen it what continent is it on and where?

It's on Oshur. Look around the area between the two upper warp-gates, and you'll see a giant bird-like figure on the terrain.

Pretty big.

I don't have the beta yet, so I haven't seen it, but evidently it's there.

It's also much clearer on the hi-res shot.

Aieee! Here be dragons.

Auraxis is either a world of magic or very low gravity and extremely thin air.

Hey guys, a reliable sourec told me that due to graphic problems or something along these lines they removed the giant fossil. Just what I heard, anyone care to shed some light on the situation?

:lol: or that is the real vanu? or their pet? or a space creature that ate all of the vanu? :p

I said it once a long while ago, if in fact the fossil is in the game, and I have reaosn to believe its not, it harbors Norwegian Cyborg Alien Ninjas who will one day declare war on the New Conglomerate and the Terran Republic and use the Vanu as their worshippers.. Just watch it happen.

Well, I'm glad I am Vanu. I'd hate to cheese off any Norwegians.

slightly belated, but more specificly to find it on the continent map, its between the warpgate on the upper left,
and the base immediately southeast of the gate.

There are a few neat things I've found hidden in the landscape and there's probably a bunch others. Here's some rock I found while flying around (forgot the continent)

you didnt happen to fly to that little red beam on the right nxt by any chance? that think looks really out of place...

red beam is a waypoint indicator. I was doing a cross continent flight at the time.

Wow.. that fossile shot is really impressive. And its either a really big bird or one hell of a giant footprint.

granted i know its supposed to be a bird.. but man if it was a footprint.. i'd be runnin' scared

if its a footprint that rocks an anvil... that would mean there wasnt vanu, there was a vanu

Thanks for the reply and the beautiful screenshots. You guys rock. :rock: :love:

I am going to checkout the fossil tonight. :D

It's just too big to be anything living. It'd make more sense as the imprint of a huge alien ship.

The desert continents seem to have a lot of rock structures. I once saw an absolutely huge one, it went on for ages.. I can't remember where though. I think that they should put some basic ruins of older looking towers in or something, though. Maybe not on the desert continents since they have rocks, but the others.

Here's one I found near a tower. It's pretty damn tall but I bet a Vanu MAX could probably scale it.

If that is a Vanu footprint, than no wonder the warpgates they left are so big.

Holy crap nice screen shot there.

The story is that is the remains of a Vanu, the people who developed spawn tubes, warp gates, energy weapons, etc.

they actually just developed vanu energy and nano thingies, then the colonists combined that with human technology to form weapons and respawn tubes
