I could accept some sort of "perpetual war" scenario, where the GTVA gets some kind of effective Sath killing tech (maybe a sniper beam or something that can quickly eliminate those turrets), and just holds their own against Shivan attacks every thirty odd years.

Until they bring out the Gargants that is!

[Marcov]

It's quite unlikely they will kill all 80 Sathani plus the even larger Shivantown armada with around 3,000 ships don't you think?

And Marcov I hope you understand that there is no FreeSpace 3 in the works.

Care to shed some light on your seemingly uninformed and outdated co-member??

Well, it ended up being yet another debate session, but at least Battuta's "Get out." had a tone of finality in it, for once.

I just had a thought, though. If the Shivans blow up Capella to create new jump nodes to "Shivantown", where will these nodes be? If they are in Capella, how would the Alliance get to them, seeing as they have already severed all jump nodes connecting Capella to systems in Allied space?

Derelict tried to answer a part of that question .

What, sending the Nyarlathotep through a subspace corridor and getting the Alliance to drag it into Allied space?

They might be in one of Capellas immediately adjacent systems...

thesizzler, that's the most flamboyant, crazy, insane gibberish that I ever wished someday would be put into an actual game!

Kinda reminds me of an old french animation movie, where a big giant "monster" is ecologically killing planet earth, and a benign "creature" is trying to stop it. In the middle of the movie, one learns that the giant monster is the future version of the benign creature. (It was all a metaphorical tale about capitalism... it was too obvious even for a ten year old). I don't remember its name.


Edit: found it, it was one of the classics.

I feel pretty content with FS2's ending. Aside from the NTF storyline, which without any resolution, was just filler which he basically admitted.


Having FS3 all about going on the offensive personally would have been anti-climatic.  I remember back in the VBB days, a kid talked about how his father was being interviewed by    -- mentioned somthing along the lines of the Shivians were at war with another race...that would have been a good plot point.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

He calls it filler? I thought the NTF part was good filler.

Filler can be good.
