I know there are two separate “Rarely talked about, often denied” alien races. One set is the “Green and Silver” and the other is the “Black and Red” ships. I believe we can reverse engineer their vessels, yet we cannot play them in Multi-Play.
Of course things could have changed.

Simon, you could never resist rubbing it in could you? =P
Speaking of which, I think the new alien race will be kind of like Freespaces Shivans. They come in and interupt the Maulus/Assylian war

Works for me if they come into the battle and screw things up.....so long as they are hitting the Malus that is. lol http://sfi2.com/forum/ubb/biggrin2.gif

i've heared that the aliea race has immense power and that you must think of other strategy's to complate the last missions (even "sometimes" Hide from them http://sfi2.com/forum/ubb/eek.gif )
There is a time to hide: Right before you jump out and ambush the opposition! AT last, this will be possible in ORB!

Yes it is the event that caused the first time use of two atom bombs, The Fat Man, and The Little Boy.

so america won r not?
that means america is stronger so the chance of thaking these aliens by surprise is still ganna be hard r not ?
America won because the Japs were weak and given any kind of pressure they fell, not mention they hit the obsolete battleships, instead of the oil reserves hich would have greatly set the US back

They werent that weak...it took many American lives to defeat Japan.
Yes but this is beacuase of the Japs way of attacking rush 100's of men at 1 machine gun until he ran out of ammuntion and(or) needed to change out his barrel. Many Americans did lose their lifes, but many more japs commited suicde for the Bushido code.

Don't forget the pressure the U.S. had with the war in Europe. They had to fight 2 very strong nations. The Japanese and the Germans.

is it possible .. maybe ... to add these two alien races to mplayer?
Think of it .. 4 races in Mplayer .. large maps ... OMG i would not be able to contain myself .. i might just die of sure estactism.hehe.
BUt really .. if all the ships are already their for the aliens .. very little has to be done for balance .. the fact that these aliens have more powerful weapons just simply means they could have greater weaknesses in other areas .. ie sllloww production time etc.
I hope this does not turn into another HWC where you can only polay 2 races .. I REALLLY hope that those two alien races could be added. Is this possible? I mean they are more powerful .. but i am SURE that we can insert some massive weaknesses. With 4 seperate races .. it could ALSO make the game last SOOO much longer then it already will. (in terms of multiplayer). What do you all think? I think this would be a really neat idea .. I dont think It would take that much work to add them in .. and the balance should not be a problem if done correctly. Or perhaps this is just me CRYING out for more than TWO races cause I am SOOO sick of HWC. AT the very least it would be nice to just see more ship skins .. even if the ships have the same abilities .. just more skins for flavor and visual effect. HOpe i am not stepping on any toes. http://sfi2.com/forum/ubb/smile2.gif

Last I heard you could not play as the alien race, play balance becomes an issue as they are more advanced.

oh http://sfi2.com/forum/ubb/frown2.gif. Perhaps if for the sake of multiplayer they were given greater dissadvantages to even them out? I dont know anything. Maybe I am totally off. But it would still have been REALLLY great if there were more than 2 races given in multiplayer .. it just seemed to me that the aliens would have fit the bill right fine .. even though they were more advanced they could have some great setbacks given to them. oh well. http://sfi2.com/forum/ubb/smile2.gif I am happy with the two races i already have .. although .. hehehe http://sfi2.com/forum/ubb/smile2.gif
