Ok, I didn't want to post it...but I'm now morally forced to do it
I think that
sucked at creating the Ancients. They didn't give us the informations we need, they didn't give out reasonable informations about them. Saying "this civilization expanded its Empire for thousands of years" is easy. They failed at giving reasonable info. They didn't think a lot about the Ancients, they wrote something and made cutscenes. Our discussions about the Ancients(as well as our MODs and our theories based on them)are all the result of a reasonable thinking. We flame each other for the so called "canon" that, in this case, is result of a poor 2 minutes thinking.
simply failed with the Ancients. They made a great game, but they failed in one of the aspects: in creating a valid background for one of their species.
We're free to believe on whatever we think.
So what, swarms of Dragons destroyed the Ancient Fleet ? Come on...
No, but Dragons wiped out Ancients fighters and paved the way for SHIVAN BOMBERS
If the cruisers were a bit less crappy than the Fenris, and the Ancients could coordinate them well, then it's even better than corvettes !
That's another common in-game thought. Do you realize that beam cannons are supposed to be much stronger than their in-game counterparts? In every videogame, everything is capable of sustaining much more damage. We need many gun shots to kill a man, we usually need 2+ missiles to shoot down a plane...and we need many beam shots to destroy a warship.
Just free your mind!!!
Umm, last time I checked Command Briefings were part of the FreeSpace Universe... If they are not, then what is ? Only other thing besides te game we have is the Freespace Reference Bible, and there's not much in it...
What do you mean? I was criticizing your in-game thoughts!
To build a Juggernaut armada ? Even Command isn't that stupid...
Again with those comments on Command...
I'm an Ancient.
