So this intelligent space-faring species....hunts humans for food?

I assume it can produce it's own food - they have the equalent of farms and stuff. So why would they bother? They have acess to food that doesn't try to fry them with a beam cannon.

Beam-fried humans are just that much better

Humans could have some protein or something that's really healthy or perhaps required for the Tal'Seth, and producing it is expensive for some reason.
There, that's my little contribution to this project.

I'm sure we can always work up a trade bargain that deals with cows.

Ok thank you for the suggestions. As i said i am still working on the idea and back story. The whole back story may change, one thing that will not change will be the no beam weapons. Yes Beam weapons are big powerfull wow weapons but the problem i find with them is you take out the say the main cannons on a deimos and she can longer fight against capital ships. Were as, and this is why i love the UEF and Blue Planet. The UEF capital ships have an array of anti-capital ship weapons. torpedos, lasers, railguns etc. Thats my reason for not giving the talseth any beam weapons, don't want to place all their eggs in one basket.

Ps yes i know the re-textured kismat is not the best but that is a very old model.

And what about hunting for pleasure?

Maybe we just taste really good, and because we're hard to get, we become a delicacy?

Sorry, I don't think I'll ever be able to take the premise of intelligent aliens who want to eat us seriously.

There's only one thing left then.

BEGIN OPERATION HUMANS TASTE BAD! Totally original idea that I definitely didn't steal from someone else.

This.

It's like a good premise for a JAD campaign

[Mobius]

Isn't that a reskinned old SD Kismat?

FEEEEEEEEEEEED SOOOOOOOOOON

(as a Snail, do you consider Frenchmen as intelligent aliens that want to eat you)

Aliens yes, intelligent no.

[BengalTiger]

Well humans eat lots of intelligent animals- cats, dogs, pigs, cuttlefish....

I see no problem with aliens wanting to eat humans.

There is a difference between a space-faring civilisation and an organism capable of mental activity.

[BengalTiger]

Well, for us.

[Luis Dias]

The problem lies more in the fact that humans are a lot more effective at actually preventing being eaten than cows.

[Lester]

And that a species that evolved in an entirely different environment from ours most probably wouldn't find us eatable, let alone tasty.

[Snail]

And I still don't find myself able to take this concept seriously.

You just don't like the concept of space frenchmen and we're the snails

Certainly couldn't be intellect.

Maybe they just want to assimilate everyone?

Going out on a limb here...why hasn't the GTVA encountered Daleks yet?
