How much of the Shivans would you like to see revealed in a post-Capella type mod?

Bigger mysteries, larger questions. Break down what little we do know about them.
Definitely keep the mystery, in its current state. The Shivans are best left unknown.
Reveal a couple minor things here and there. But keep the enigma intact, and keep the sense of mystery perpetually present.
The Shivans' agenda should remain an unknown - but it wouldn't hurt to know some more about them.
It's time to shine some light on our enigmatic antagonists. We should know what they are up to, to some extent.
Let's find out what the f*** is going on here. Give us some clear, profound answers to what the Shivans are doing.
Show us the Shivans in all of their unspeakable malice. Such an evil is worse than we could have ever imagined.
Reveal the Shivans all the way to the point of incorporating enemy Shivan characters in the storyline. Let's get to know them personally.

Re: The Enigma of the Shivans
I have yet to see any Shivan characters written well.


(I should finish reading that old fic "Leader for the Shivans" though, I hear it's good)

"Kobayashi-narlu"? WTF?

What are you talking about

The subtitle to the second episode of "Leader for the Shivans".

Re: The Enigma of the Shivans
I think I'd pick the one that's "personal". I believe the best way to interpret something mysterious is to approach it in a humanly philosophical way, in order to form up a sense of artistry and catch the souls of many an audience.
