That's quite brilliant, Sprolf. It does make a lot of sense, if you look at things.
And yes, Cameron, Discovery follows the extended version of the freelancer intro, the one SeaFalcon linked.

' Wrote:I have a question... dose discovery freelancer follow the intro in the first post or the one that came with the game?
According to Igiss, yes. In Disco, Sol got peeeee-owned by a giant tentacle monster.
Edit: dang it Sprolf, ya ninjad me!

ok, thank you, now i have a reason to eradicate the nomad species too XD

' Wrote:The Nomads are one and the same.
To assume otherwise would be very silly.
Keep in mind that Nomads have hypergates and whatnot and that the structure of the universe would be very different for them with this technology. Of course, that would explain the "Why are they in Sol?" question, but not the "Why are they active centuries before they were activated?"
So, to answer THAT question, I have made up a theory that explains things.
Perfectly.
It seems quite natural that this Nomad doom-machines hasn't been developed by the Nomads of Sirius, otherwise humanity would be dead. Right? Right. It's not much of a stretch to think that the Nomads could develop something like this in the future, though. So, keeping that and the anachronism in mind, it is not hard to posit that this large Super-Marduk was brought from the far-future of the Nomad/Human war. The Nomads weren't activated yet, right? So time-travel obviously explains why there's this massively advanced (moreso than "modern day" Nomads) gargantuan Nomad that can blow up stars. See, in the distant future, humanity and the Nomads are at war. The Nomads captured enough human data to realise just where the humans came from, and used the Daam K'Vosh technology to develop a time travel system. They sent their most "evolved" vessel, even more fearsome than the future Marduk, back to the human's home system in an effort to kill them before they ever reached Sirius. The Nomads were off by just a few seconds and failed, thus not altering history at all. (This was probably inevitably the case, if you're of that school of time-travel theory.)
that scenario just reeks with time travel paradoxes, sprolf. but i do find it quite amusing:D
from what i hear the nomads that destroyed sol are different from the sirius ones.

Though I wonder what happend to the 'messanger'. Were there even people listening. And how did the order get this message of him. since it was around 800 years ago. The nomad wars came as a suprise for all the colonies exept for the order. Although most civilians don't know about the nomad wars. They just notices Rheinland marching to war. And when the cancioler disapeared it all seemed to turn back to normal.
Quote:most civilians don't know about the nomad wars.Right?
Now they just need to act like that ingame.
And sprolf this theory seems plossible. Since we (humans) don't know all things about the nomad techs.
1 Thing though. What happend to the nomad ship that went to Sol and blew up the sun. where did it go. Or was it a suicide mission?
Long Freelancer Intro - Exile - 02-16-2010
It went back to where it came from, probably:)
Two people in this chat want the nomads dead. Now just imagine when the Sirius nomads finally get a weapon equal to the suncrusher. :laugh:

Oh maybe it's still out there waiting to eat our suns. *screams*
Long Freelancer Intro - Exsiled_one - 02-16-2010
Maybe Nomads thought that they have done it and returned the big ship into the future.
Perhaps ship didn't have technology or resources to jump back.
Perhaps he didn't have anywhere to jump back because their jump back to time / space history was their last straw to survive, like Alliance had sleeper ships.

wait till we pull out ... *dramatic pause* ... The DEVOURER!!!
it eats planets:D
Long Freelancer Intro - Dantrithor - 02-16-2010
Just a detail. Sol wasn't destroyed "moments after", but actually a long time after the sleeper ships departed.
The final battle in which the star-buster thing appeared is not the same as the escape battle.
