How many are in development? I know inferno has the ***** (Whatever they are) and the Ancients, who count as new enough, Aldo has his nightmares, and Twisted Infinities is making one, but there are a few I'm not clear on - are the Tau in OTT a new species or just a new faction? And are there any others that I've missed?

The reason I ask is a thought I'd had earlier this evening - assuming the campaigns all get completed and/or the mods get released, we're going to have a whole shedload of new mods opening up new lines of campaign storyline. Might not mean an awful lot now, but when they're all released...It's something to think about at least.

OTT Tau is a new faction, so to speak, so they don't count.

ehh... I'm not sure,but Third Twilight might have one.

The Starborn are a new species that take an active role in MindGames - but they're not what you might expect.  Take a look at the Background page.

Only when I've been eating cheese sandwiches

I have 4 (so far)

1. Anceints: Got a new name for them and more bout what happen to thier species

2. A really really powerful species. They have SOME of the best technology anywhere. Really high tech stuff. Their technology is like couple 50 thousand years more advanced than the GTVA. But they dont have to use juggernaunts or bigger ships to win a BIG battle. And they dont use shields (gasp!). Lets just say that they dont need too. But they CAN be threatend. You'll see in my camp, you'll all see

3. The real species of the Shivans and their history

4. And the most powerful species in my story. These bastards caused the Shivs to be what WE know them as: Destroyers, blowing up suns, killing the Anceints etc. Its not the Shivs fault...ok it is, but they werent always like that.

I've already revealed too much.

The Mercury Affair will also feature another race in part III. That's a long way away though.

[Knight Templar]

MindGames new race actually makes a lot of sense to me, until then end or so

*waits for all of these claims to actually come true*

[Raven2001]

Caught in the Middle will have a new species too

[karajorma]

Well about all the mods we need for the Starborn are already done. Of course that might just be cause we don`t actually need any mods for the starborn since they are non-coporeal

Fooled ya :wink:

[IceFire]

Why can't we have a TBL file determine what species are available and what thruster files/fly past sounds we should reference?

They are the main reason I joined the MindGames campaign. Wait till you see what we've got them doing in the actual campaign

The Tau in OTT are mostly human, with a few vasudans.
As for brand new species... wait and see, as one would say.

[LAW ENFORCER]

I don't think it counts but I have err.... *several* new specis in my TC.

Oh yes.... several.............


i.e. more than you can thnk of


although this rests on wather or not they are aleins in my TC... guess what your gonna have to do to find out.... :thepimp:

seriously do you guys only make 3 or 4 news uns and think that'll do - because there are only 3 or 4 races in the galaxiy! or sumet?

so that means, there'll be one. No problem here.

There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt in your philosophy..

[Fry_Day]

No offense, but the amount of new species in campaigns is alarming.

It's just like the tendancy to make bigger ships with larger beams. You don't need that to make a good campaign. Actually, I think it harms the chances of making one, for reasons of plot coherency and gameplay balance.
Worse is the appearance of SEVERAL new races in one campaign. First contact is supposed to be a rare, almost unique moment, and there you go, turning it into "wee, another new race."

I could find more reasons as to why this seems a glaring mistake to me, but I won't bother typing them, since you won't change your campaigns anyway

no new species in the campaign, nope.
