Hey, would you look at that. It's story time! PT. 3 POSTED!

Its a Game! Games are supposed to be fun. I think the ending would be fine if the people who escape actually survive.

...game? what?


Clavin, we all know your views. However, they aren't supported by anybody else. Everybody seems to be in agreement about it. It would seem to be you vs the rest of the community.

[Clavin12]

What object would that be?

[iron maiden]

by the way i interpret the story, The scion task force establishes the defenses on the moon that you arrive at in the beginning, the neding thus comes full circle as the saga plays itself out years later.

[Clavin12]

So are you saying they do survive?

[iron maiden]

No, the scions that escape establish the defenses around the srive and eventually die. The scions in the future arrive at this moon with those established defenses and the story starts over again.[At least thats what I think will happen.]

[Clavin12]

What if you have them survive on a planet undiscovered until much later, Thus setting up for another mod.

[iron maiden]

Possible, but i think if you have them discovered again in the future it would be a little more......cohesive.

[Clavin12]

How do you mean?

[Mr X]

Well Clavin, do you remember how at the beginning there were units that looked almost scion but not quite?

It would seem to be you vs the rest of the community.

So whats new?

[Clavin12]

I remember. they could be part of the original base that was destroyed, but the survivors escaped to a yet undiscovered planet, leaving the torn up base.

[iron maiden]

If you set it up for another mod you would have people going nuts because they have to wait 2 more years for the sequel to come out. If you have a full circle ending, everything is wrapped up and the player feels nice and cozy and goes gets come coco to toast his success.

Then how did the defenses get there if the survivors go somewhere else? The scions would most likely not have sufficient materials to establish a strong automated defense network.

[Clavin12]

They find resources. They leave ppl there. Idk, but surely you can think of something. Whats your reason for keeping it the way it is?

So what if they have to wait. We don't even have to include that part in the story. We just have to leave that little sentence out and then when the next mod comes out ppl will be all surprised because they realise that they never did learn what happened to the scions. We could even keep in the fact the the base was destroyed. maybe show a movie clip with a small carrier off in the corner escaping. Barely noticeable.

Because, theres nothing particularly special about this task force. And one starportal on a lifeless moon is believeable, two is pointless. And they don't have the facilities to make a star-carrier.

I didn't say anything about a second portal. Read the above post.
