References to Extraterrestrial Intelligence in Dual Universe?

[aliensalmon]

This poll/topic asks if there should be references or hints to extraterrestrial intelligence or aliens in Dual Universe. I was thinking that the aliens themselves don't have to be present in the form of NPCs or whatever. But there could be hints of their existence like ruins and artifacts or something. Adds some mystery to the game I guess.

 

You guys have any ideas?

That kind of already exists. 

 

There are a set of monolith in several places in the system. I have found one personaly.

Those monoliths have some kind of code.. 

Those codes were joined together in a calculation and a secret loation was found. Im not sure but i belive the special t5 ore was found there. 

 

There are also several monuments, some of them underground that ppl have found.

 

Some players theorize that the way to go to another system is linked to those acient monuments.

Ah, interesting. I've heard of those things. Perhaps they should make more of them.

We already have it. NQ. They don't live with us. The look at the world from another dimension.

Also most planets have extinction class events on them.  Along with us leaving home due to a black hole being tossed at us.

 

basically if a planet is in a good spot to have life it has gotten an extinction bomb of some sort tossed at it.  (Thades is the most impressive).

Already exists.

 

There was that whole puzzle in which the clues are alien constructs that ended with a single node of a new T5 ore on Lacobus. There are hints that Teoma was placed where it is by aliens. I expect they will eventually develop the alien contact story line, but they don't exactly have a lore team to develop it yet.

Who built the markets?

I guess Aphelia (the Arkship's AI) built them prior to decryonization of the human passengers?

[CptLoRes]

and then decided that people who's main goal is to rebuild civilization, don't need access to whatever technology she used for that?

 

And to bring this back on topic. I don't care if it is aliens, AI robots or whatever. As long as it is content, this game needs it.

Mind control technology?

That is explicitly in the lore - that we don't have Aphelia's tech. AFAIK, Aphelia also doesn't feel she need to explain why.

Also, if I remember correctly, the launcher says something like "your brain is working at 12%", we might assume that we don't actually train talents, we unlock memories. At some point someone will remember how to build a market xD

to be fair...this AI isn't very good at their job.
