new empire?

Super_Ryu7 · 2004-08-31, 01:41 PM

i think it would be cool if they added a new empire or so it might throw off the balance but like the original inhabitants of the planet joining in the battle as thier own empire would be really sweet... i think it would at least.

ps-sorry for all my threads lol

Erm, the original inhabitants were the Vanu, and quite simply they'd own anything and everything the TR, NC or VS have to offer. Some balance.

Now that it is multiple planets, it would be cool if some indigenous race to the system emerges from the land, capturing old equipmnet, learning it, modifying it, and start wanting to get rid of the invaders of thier land

Bleh, keep it humans only. Hairless pink softies with guns for the win!

Humans only.

'Nuff said.

Bring on the Stargate plot! Vanu = Original humans, collinated earth as a second planet, Then moved one for some reason while the newly collinated planet undwent changes that caused the settlers to revert to "cavemen" ergo we have old time humans. Vanu do not return however they colonized some of other planets. Now those inhabitants can learn and adopt the technology we have and become a fourth faction.

BTW I dont endorse that plotline. I think its a smidge hollywoody

for me.

However I dont like how for there to be even fights two factions need to be involved, leaving thier other assets totaly vulnerable. Threeways are fun but mostly for the victor.

As for the possibility of such a fourth side, I think it's quite good. We know that the "Old" Republic, back on Earth and such, wants to terminate the expeditionary forces on the planets that once comprised Auraxis. I think they'll send in something that'll become the fourth side, whose purpose is to destroy the other sides for the Old Republic.

1st-Um if i remember correctly ... a worm hole closed...thus rendering the old republic inable to travel to auraxis.
2nd- The worm hole closed b4 the bending so the old republic has no idea where we are.

No old republic for teh win!

I think the wormhole should open back up and North Korea could come through blowing shit up.

It's fiction, so they can do whatever they want. They've already illustrated that the old TR has no interest in keeping the current TR, VS, and NC around. If the Ancients don't provide a fourth side, eventually the old TR will. And the BFR plans were sent through the micro-wormhole to each of the three warring sides, too. I see no reason why they couldn't, say, transmit an AI through that conjures up a fourth faction of robots or something like that.

I think a 4th side is very feasable but I am certain it would be a paid expansion

Lartnev · 2004-08-31, 06:48 PM

Well the devs already have their plate full balancing three sides, a fourth will just add to their problems.

If it was an expansion empire only, not only would everyone with that expansion play on that side, but it'd have to have advantages to make the expansion worthwhile. I honestly don't think the devs would take such a route.
