What's wrong with the idea of energy life forms?

Define 'life form'.

We can't say that 'this is life, and it's the only way it can be' because we only have one example.  It's like saying that all technology is based on fire; to our knowledge, only one species has evolved to the point of developing a technology, and that was based on fire, but we only have one example.

So really, we can't say that life forms comprised entirely of energy are impossible, because we don't know.

Well, we only know we are a life form because of the energy patterns in our brains telling us so. So I suppose if the energy patterns can be coherent without any constraining matter, theres no reason why it's not numerically possible. After all, just about anything is :)

I love this whole thing. :D

I find it fascinating that we are a matter-based life form whose technology is based around harnessing energy. Shivans appear to be an energy-based life form whose technology is based around controlling matter. Brilliant!

The question is, what's left for [V] now to explain..?

Inferno has the Ancients fleet. It would make for a depressing campaign though, since you would lose. :blah:

I'll show you what I mean when I have time to do the illustrations for you - in about a month. Meanwhile, make sure you keep a permanent copy of this, in a text file or something, and keep it safe - email it to me, even. If you can stick around here for a month, I'll show you. ;)

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

 
To reiterate: c914, when will your campaign be complete?  Or is it, as I suspect, another case of:
