Easter Egg, Planet of the Apes

Mon Mar 10, 2003 9:06 pm by Skaught

Yo there,

I'll skip the the introduction as I'm a first time poster and get to the meaty stuff.

I don't think this has been posted yet, so here's what I ran across.
I was flying about systems, attempting to act as nothing more then a cartographer, when I ran across a jump hole in the Omicron Gamma system. It's surrounded with the hulks of Corsair fighters. If you head through you'll find a system named "Unkown" that's only got two planets. Careful, there are enemy spawns all through this system. One of these planets is labeled Planet Primus, and if you take the time and effort to land on it, you'll find that everyone on the planet is monkey headed. They're all listed as the faction "Monkey" and there are no goods or equipment for sale, but it's pretty freakin hilarious.

Hope you all can find and enjoy this,

Skaughy

Good stuff Skaught, and welcome aboard!

Seen the apes and robots too, pretty funny stuff.

FYI, keeping down the spoilers on the discussion board, so I'll move this to spoilers forum.

would be cool if someone mods a Monkey Missile MK 1, 2, 3 (MK for Monkey Kit) or a monkey ship

also good: actual missions where you have to take out nomads, and since they're the hardest foes in the game, it should pay like 200k per...

This would make sense, as their bases are apparently hostile towards the Nomads. The base defenses start firing on their ships if they venture nearby.

Yeah I found these.

The robot one I thought made sense if humans went into the system and set up basic landing facilities-- to then be driven out by the nomads. I thought that was the case until one of the robots told me it worked for the order.

Then I started to get suspicious. I flew over to monkey world and was thus certain the system was meant as a joke.

Nomads are pansies! The only thing that makes 'em tough is their guns, and if you aim for a Nomad Battleship's engines, they go down in a few shots. They have no shields, and their hulls are like butter!

Is this in multiplayer only or single too? I've scoured the Omi Gamma system for as long as my patience held out and i couldn't find an unknow jump gate.

Thanks

Single too, it's at F2.

He was asking about the location in Omicron Gamma and that's what I wrote.
