Will any of the alien races in Star Citizen have extremely advanced technology, and if so what would their general backstory be? Also will it be possible to find ancient, highly advanced technology and if so will we get to know where it came from and what created it?asked by Sondrex
TL;DRAlien races are meant to be roughly equal to humanity, each with some technological focus and only a slight edge, while the team deliberately stays vague on ancient technology and wants players to discover the rest.
Our general kind of feeling with the alien races is that we want there to be a good level of challenge for humanity to be able to do kind of engage with them on their own level, So we're trying to make it so each of the alien races has maybe technological focuses that they have, maybe their species has over the centuries focused on this part of technology more so than humanity has. But were all still pretty much equal so that we're gonna have good fights against them.
Yeah it's going to be fun to engage those other species if you get into such and such situation, And also you know we have some ideas for things when it comes to their technology. There's also a lot about these races that we want you guys to find out for yourself. So that's why we're trying to paint with the broad brush right now, part of the fun and the exploration of the game is being able to kind of get that experience yourself.
Yeah, Like you'll learn a lot more once you start engaging with these different characters we hope and you know it'll be a give and take kind of thing, We've talked about Misc going to the Shian for their sweet thruster tec so that's a little bit different or advanced we're borrowing from them, but that's not something where they can move at twice the speed of us or anything, it's just a little bit of an edge and they'll have other tech that's a little worse that they come to humanity for. So we're trying to keep it balanced. As far as ancient tech we have a few bits and pieces here and there, you might have noticed ancient artifacts turn up in your hangers and so they'll be things that were sprinkling around whether they'll be super advanced or not I think we'll stay a little mum right about it right now.
Probably better, you know if you go look at Hades there's split planets so who knows, who knows.
to explain a little bit more yeah if you could.
Oh yeah yeah so you know that there are traces in the hades system that were was an ancient civilization there, so we kinda started to seed in the things about that but again that's something we want you guys to explore as we go live and we expand, so you can kind of unravel that mystery yourself.
At least that's what UEE archaeologists believeAW: I guess we'll find out!
