Qonfused Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Although the Xenium Reactor is a very effective and capable device, it is apparent that it is not capable of interstellar travel. It, like all engines earth has developed, cannot travel faster than the speed of light. This severely inhibits interstellar travel, implying that the aliens either originated from within our solar system, or that they have other propulsion systems. However, despite this information, it is still more effective than even the best human engines. Q: Are the aliens capable of “above light speed travel”. In my opinion they shouldn’t be able to travel above light speed. But I was just wandering if this was decided already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[stewart] Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 We actually might be able to avoid this since everything occurs in the solar system where near light speeds are fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikker Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 The aliens might have more powerfull elerium driven engines on Mars, but they don't send those down to Earth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qonfused Posted December 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Intersteller travel is quite possible, both above and bellow light speed. but they are two completly different scenarios.and intersteller travel bellow light speed would requier huge amounts of power.

Guest Azrael Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 I say we go with the old hyperspace drives, the Aliens know how to make them, but when they got here they dismantled them since they had no use for them while conquering the pityful Humans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qonfused Posted December 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 i would prefere the bellow light speed travel option.it would explain the gap in the Alien Origins Consept.(an explanation for the time gap between dinosaurs and around 10000 BC is needed)bellow light speed would explain the time gap. also; if the the space craft would travel close to light speed. the passenger would experience 100'000 years, as little as a few weeks becouse of the effect of relativity.

mikker Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 acturly, aliens having +lightspeed drivers on mars (along with blueprints), it could be a great add-on to later versions. I mean, after you conquer mars, you find them, and now you go out to --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qonfused Posted December 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 im agains inventing som hyperdrive mumbo jumbo to explain above light speed travel.how about a controled black hole creating missile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikker Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Then lets NOT explain it. Players won't even know what they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qonfused Posted December 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 yea, lets just not get into this stuff in the cdt unless we have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snakeman Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 I'd say only worry about it if/when either a second game or subsequent versions wanna have anything that involves locations or situations not in our backyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Azrael Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Of course, no need to involve interstellar travels in V1, in the Alien Origins we can say that we have no evidence as to how they got here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
