Game Intro: Colonials

[pbhuh]

Yeah Yeah, I know it's another idea of me, don't complain ^^

My idea is to make another game intro next to the Smugglers. And its very easy, the Colonials. Before starting the game I think it would be cool fi you could play as an Colonial or an Smuggler. All with an differant story, but basicly the same way. And somewhere when vega ends you come together, but untill the antares system it will be the same.

Ships

If you read the missions you saw the AnIn-1450 Colonial Jet, The now AnIn-X Colonial Jet will change into that ship and will just be as strong as the AnIn-1450 Armored Transport.

If you start as Colonial you get the Colonial Lifter that will also be the same as the AnIn-1300 Light Transporter.

If you want as an Colonial the smuggler ships you have to kill the same mantis as the smugglers have to do to get the AnIn-X Colonial ships, but if you are a colonial you get the smuggler ships and if you are a smuggler the colonial ships.

Hmmm, I like the sound of different ways to start the game, in fact if you watch the old 2008 trailer you would of got to pick what system you would start in, but it never was fully completed however it showed that it would be possible at some point.

I have the feeling that the intro of that was to start with one of the three races, Mantis, Human or Methanoid.

So you mean something like this?

Human = Vega
Methanoid = Tau Ceti
Mantis = Caprica

would be cool if we could play as mantis or methanoid

yeah, we already know that Tau Ceti is home to meth's and Vega home to colonials, then caprica, that looks evil could be for the mantis.

 

[HyDroxYl]

umm whats caprica?

Yeah, the image for Caprica has a dark and evil feel to it.

umm whats caprica?

Caprica was a system that was seen in the beta but you couldn't go there.

 

[defacto]

And here comes Defacto the storynerd to clear this up...

There is a reference to Caprica in the Tecnatoria description, apparently it was a major shipbuilding centre.

In the old 2008 beta, i think there was supposed to be 3 factions of humans, survivors from the Mantis combating eachother. The factional system never got ingame, though.

The current storyline for Tau Ceti was made far after this, and so the devs probably changed the story making it the Methanoid homeworld.

yeah, and after that they made draconis a colony of the methanoids.

How would you like an intro ingame with a video for the colonials, because now we got a more smuggler-neutral intro,

this is my try:

The Human Empire was always in war. And often one group ruled over the other. The same happend by the colonials. The Imperials ruled over them. But the Colonials fought back and became free of the Imperials. They closed their stargate. The Vega Colonials did the same. But the biggest threat is not the Imperials. But the Mantis. Somehow they came into the Vega System. And if the Vega Colony doesn't work together, the war could be lost...

how is that?
