* Talking with corsairs, you learn a lot of "background history".

Corsairs descend from space-ark Hispania, saboted before reach good-habitable planets.

In Omicron Alpha, close to planet Mallorca, you can see the rest of spaceship Hispania. Its fun. You can navigate inside.

Yeah, the detail on the monkeys heads is pretty darn good ... probably the best skins in the whole game ... seems like a lot of work for an easter egg.

Something else rhat made me think that the game was unfinished was that in the description for the Nomad guns it says that it was someones attempt at making nomad weaponry compatible with ships from the colonies. What, did the Nomads modify 'em just as I blasted them to dust ... very thoughtfull of them.
Overall it's a good game, it's just that there are alot of little things that just don't match up too well.

the will never fight to take over the system because they are somting like freinds of the other ships.

Who says? Most of the Europeans were allied with each other after the Treaty of Vienna in 1815, and 60 years later, they were at each others throats again (Franco-Prussian War). Remember, it only takes a couple of despots to drag the world into a worldwide war (Hitler, Mussolini, and Tojo), so relative peace between the houses could spark into a system-wide war like the events of Starlancer... (Freelancer sequel, anyone?)

space monkeys!!!! oooo oooo ahhh ahhhh!!!!

You can't hear anything in space... The most you'll hear is the tapping sound as blood drops hit the cockpit when the monkey explodes...

ahhaha zamboni! you evil troll!

Yeah, I flew out to the Green sun in the "Black Hole" by the monkeys and robots. I belive the reason you don't die from colision with that sun is so morons (guilty in this case) who want to die after flying all the way out there can't. After playing this game for hours you forget (I forgot) you can just load a game with out killing your self.

Only in Dreams...

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!

whoo...that was awesome.

It would have been impossible for Digital Anvil to add a correct Black Hole. Theortically, Black Holes are massive amounts of mass that cause a depression in space time, basically ripping a hole in space time. A Black Hole's mass is about over 40 times the wieght of our sun. A Neutron Star is about 12-40 times the weight of our sun. The Neutron Star does not rip a hole in space time, it just makes an incredible depression. A Black Hole sucks in matter, the 4 forces of the universe, light, and even time (Matter being: Solids, Liquids, Gases, and Plasma; The 4 Forces being: Graviton, Gluon, and the strong and weak Nuclear Forces. This means every thing is sucked in. So if you got close enough (several light years), you wouldn't see anything due to light being sucked in, you wouldn't realize you were being sucked in due to the stretching of time (possible would be several billion years). Oh yeah, not to forget, you would be stretched out a couple million Km. The only way to escape this would be to travel in the opposite direction at about the rate of 300000000 Km/s. It would be fun though...

The Unknown has already been known by something else..

shouldn't the neutron star in Omega-41 be spinning at a very fast rate? after all, most neutron stars spin at about 300 rotations per second, right? Or was it 30 rotations..either way, that's a helluva lot faster than the Fl neutron star.


-From the gates of Heaven to the depths of Hell; one, the Protecter; sees all, knows all, defends the innocent.

I can't believe I just read all this.

Though now I'm wondeirng how cool it would be to dive into a black hole... is it the secret to immortality?

um...probably not.

However I have been thinking, and I believe it would make a fairly cool 'mod' just to fix Gammu to sell Order weapons and offer substantially paying/diffucult Order Missions. As for Primus it could be a rival faction with Gammu (what with the monkeys being the Dom Kavash and all) and possibly sell Nomad technology (even though it would serve little purpose.) It might just seem to make the game a little more 'complete'.

The monkeys are the Dom Kavash[!

OK...

I've read this post while on an most annoying call (At work) with a lady who has a lap top and getting unable to detect modem errors....

It has been stated the Baboons are the Dom Kavash....No offense to John Brown...But that is implausible.

If you take note that it is an EASTER EGG, and most easter eggs are there for amusement only, then your theory holds no banana juice. (Pun intended)

Most devs have twisted senses of humor...

In MW4...if you target some of the buildings, there are FASA buildings.

In Duke Nukem 3d...You see a Duke Nukem arcade game (Even says "I don't have time to play with myself"

Numerous other games have easter eggs....Even simple ones....

In Star Wars: Galactic Battle grounds...one of the cheats is "SIMON SAYS" a reference to a game of the same name.

The 2 planets in that system are NOT related to anything in the game, Samura or the Order.

The game just populated the planets with random characters....

I have noted personally that 1 robot claimes it was from Bretonia Police, and another was a Corsair and another was a Zoner....

If you notice, even has been posted...

This system is unfinished...Whether it was left unfinished by design, or by accident...The point is moot.

It's there for the humor factor.

Correct me if Im wrong, but aren't any of the planets spinning?
And a 300 rounds per second spinning dead star....Isn't that a supernova?

btw; I think the monkeys & robots are not finished because of a deadline for the release....So DA just made it an easteregg..
