Well, the lenghthened intro was scrapped due to it revealing to much, and plot changes. Besides in the short version the narrator sounds better:PI suppose the L. intro was scrapped because the idea of the Nomads turning up in Sol just after the sleeper ships launched was too flimsy a idea and too much of a conicedence, unless they intercepted comms telling them there were sleeper ships heading from there to Siris. But still, if that happened they would have attacked the sleepers then Sol.
We would be percived as invaders by them and theoreticaly they never blew Sol up with the L. intro scrapped, so they still are the defenders, making us in a way the bad guys. Besides what tech do we have that they could want. If you look at the guns the NPCs have that they dont drop, their weapons are far superior to ours. I guess this is why you should never discuss philoshopy and ethics in FL...
EDIT: OMG I realised what tech they wanted! Cloaking devices! They wern't cloaked in the L. intro implying they didn't have the tech. They then salvaged the cloaking tech of the wreckage that Alliance ship from Starlancer that could cloak! Damn... So it's our fault they can cloak:P maybe...
