At least i still hpoe Tau Ceti will look like the system which is shown us at the Artefact which we so hardly collected and which is needed to travell through the wormhole whitout of beeing destroyed. At least for all who have forgoten how the complete artifact looks
Well what we see is an Starsystem whit at least:
1 Wormhole - Hangar in form of the Jumpship (on the top left of the Artifact)
1 Ancient Race - Ancient Units ??? (on the top right of the Artifact)
1 Sun (old Rumors was the Sirius sun now it is the Tau Ceti sun)
3 Planets which surround the sun. (1 CQ Planet + 2 Story Planets)
1 Planet and an Moon (inside of the sun cause of the "arrow" which show inside the sun)
So when this "constelation" would now really come my feeling is that the Story must be an huge and epic one cause it leads us to the mentioned Cryoplanet which should be shown by the artifact and lead to it. At least it is maybe the source of the Ancient Units too...
Well at least to the Story i think that it would start at the Mantis Hive Orbit cause we killed there the Queen and we got the last part of the Artifact. The next mission would be then "researching the Artifact" which brings us back to Antares to the Carl Sagan Lab where we deliver the Artifact and the mission is done then already.
Well my idea is then that Tobias Plank and Lyla discover the secret of the Artifact and build an device to control the power of the Artifac to create the "first" controlled Wormholes whic are small and don´t allow to bring transport ships and humans but to send probes for first picture materials. While the probe is sending it´s information something strange happens and through the device enters "unknown" units the area of Carl Sagan and start to destroy everything. Our mission is now to destroy the units before Carl Sagan is totaly destroyed and to destroy the device and to close the wormhole cause it is holded open by another source of energy.
After we have rescued the Carl Sagan Lab Tobias and Lyla where be able to create an much smaller device of Wormhole control which allows it ships to enter and pass Wormholes and only work while an Wormhole jump is acitve and disabled after the process is done but they need some materials from the other Planets to build an hull which will hold the chaotic energy which is caused by the wormhole. So we need to fly to several planets to collect the materials - some antimatter from CC (one of the most needed materials in the whole game^^), an bit of organic material from the Hive and maybe some special ore from earth. (unlocking of Jumpshiphangar at Tau Ceti Wormhole)
After we have enterd the Tau Ceti system we will be sended then to the first planet where we meet methanoid people but which doesn´t trust us in any way cause they are raided in regular times from our "race" (pirates on the 2nd planet raid them from time to time) and an unknown race does attack them too when special conditions are happen in the system. To build up their trust into us and that we are their last hope we need now to do several mission which will show them that we are the good guys and help them to survive and to defend against the enemy.
Like the normal case will bring it in one mission an high rated pirate will come to destroy the resistance of our interuption and when we kill him he drops the "key" which will allow it us to enter the "Pirate Planet" where the Story continues and the "medium difficult" part of the story will begin. On the planet we discover that the pirates have an high developed base which holds "probes" of some ancient units which they where able to destroy under high ammounts of looses (at least the pirates should suffer an bit too
). Now the story will lead us over the planet and give us many different missions will send us finaly to the research lab of the pirate base where they have discovered the "planet inside of the sun" (codename Novaplanet) and it´s moon (codename Little Star). At least the Pirates have found an mixture of components and materials which are needed to create an ship which is able to pass the hull and heat of the sun by phasing into another dimension. So our mission is now to fly through ALL SIX SYSTEMS to gather these components which it gives very luckily at these 6 system (An part of the Ancient ruins on Aurora, some of the fake cryoore of Lustra, an special kind of rock from an destroyed planet (Technatoria), an root from an burned tree (Baumar), an special water from an planet (Earth) and an strong organic system which could control organic bases (Mantis Hive)
After we have gatherd then the 6 materials we deliver them to the Carl Sagan Lab where Tobias, Lyla and the Gaz Sister have developed the right mixture of the materials to create the phase switching system (unlocking the Tau Ceti Ships) which allows us to enter the sun finally. To bad that we first only could land on the moon where we discover the ancient units the "first" time and we find out that they have build on the moon an defence base to protect their main planet which holds an very high power source under it´s lock. So the Mission line will lead us once more over an planet which shows us production factories and defence cannons which will shoot everything which wanna enter their "mainplanet". So our misison is clear we need to disable the power source of the cannons.
After we have disabled then the cannons we are finaly have the "allowance" to enter the Novaplanet. On this planet it gives an giantic door in the middle of the planet which holds it´s biggest secret inside whatever it is it was needed. Through the missionline of the planet we find out that it gives special nodes which holds the lock active and which only could be disabled when their keepers are destroyed (Kehops, Osiris and Anubis). Well at least we are able to destroy them and so do the "mistake" to unleash the power which was sealed so long behind the gate. The secret is an ancient research which combined the powers of all units which they where able to find but the project failed and become an uncontrolable creature of destruction. So the last mission will start and is called "The Last Hope Chance For The Universe" and the battle will be intensce cause the boss will have multiple phases of attacks depending on his amount of armor which he has left. As soon as the battle begins an timer will run against us (30 mins - i talked from an long an epic battle, didn´t i^^) where the creature will unleash all of it´s power to destroy the universe when we don´t destroy it in time.
Well... i know the respond is an bit long but at least this is what i hope from the artifact cause it wouldn´t make sense to gives it to us whitout of an clue why we should have it and why it should show us an system whit "details" on it^^ and at least it is huge in my eyes
