The official "story questions I want the answer to" thread (no answers here).

(1/7) > >>

x4000:
This goes for AI War, The Last Federation, and of course Stars Beyond Reach.  SBR is set in the future of the shared universe of the two other games, and I already am likely going to answer most of what you're wondering.  It's going to be in clues of sorts that you can piece together via playing the alternative victory conditions, and when you piece together the bits of info hopefully you wind up with a clear picture that answers all of your most burning questions.

That said: what all do you want to know?  If we can keep this thread purely to questions that you have for me, that would be really helpful so that I don't have to parse through a lot of conversation to find the questions themselves.  If there are questions you have that I have not answered, then I'll do my best to incorporate those into the clues that you'll find later on.

For actual discussion and theorizing and whatnot about the story, please do visit this thread instead: Background Story Discussion

Thanks! :)

Captain Jack:
I've got two on the top of my head, related to AI War. Are the Spire descended from Zenith servitor races?

And, the Spire and Zenith have plot connections to the AI. Do the Neinzul as well? Or were they "just" the model used for its network?

And since ptarth's not here yet  :P, what's the reason the AI civs start out on your level in SBR?

crazyroosterman:
your asking me to ask more question? OKAY THEN! 1 how is the planet sentient? 2 are the hydrals as a race completely extinct or just the ones that happened to inhabit the area that tlf is based in? 3 what happened to the hydral after tlf dead or just off in a galaxy far far away 4 were do the different races come from (not nessicerly in the games there from but were ever it is their species Is inhabiting) 5 what is the individual biology's of the races for example why do acid baths help the skylaxians breed? 6 if earths meant to be destroyed then how did you download schematics from it? 7 are the yalis smaller heads just sentient not controlling of the main body or do they share that duty with the main head 8 (I literally just thought of this) are the yali a sub species of the hydrals?.

ptarth:
Sorry, but I had to parse this.

* How is the planet sentient?
* Are the Hydral, as a race, completely extinct or just the ones that happened to inhabit the area that tlf is based in?
* What happened to the Hydral after The Last Federation? Dead or just off in a galaxy far far away?
* Where do the different races come from (not necessarily in the games they're from, but wherever it is their species is inhabiting)?
* What is the individual biology's of the races? For example why do acid baths help the Skylaxians breed?
* If Earth is meant to be destroyed then how did you download schematics from it?
* Are the yalis smaller heads just sentient, not controlling of the main body, or do they share that duty with the main head?
* Are the yali a subspecies of the Hydral?

My main question:

* How can you have the SBR Market Item Spreadsheet open for over a month and still resist filling in all those cells in the Race Flavor tab?

Captain Jack:
Thought of a few more. How did the TLF races come to be on their planets in TLF? The Evucks almost certainly should have evolved on a gas giant, and Boarines on any planet with positive temperatures is inconceivable. And yet there they are on completely odd planets.

Are any of the SBR original races native to Planet?

What ARE the Ark and the Mire? (actually Chris, have you considered adding one or both to the game as Natural Wonders?)

How did the Boarines manage to cooperate long enough to develop advanced technology? Cut and paste for all of the stand-offish races except the Evucks. No wait, especially the Evucks.

Who programmed the Acutians and the Andor?
