Long Freelancer Intro

[TerminatorX]

Why does it always have to revolve around humans? What are we, a centerpiece of the universe everyone should care about and build their technology for the purposes related to us? Of course not.

Actually, I was comparing humans to a sort of fungus, and the nomads built a scraper and soap to remove us. Are you making a fungus the center of the universe when you use a scraper instead of a gun to clean your house? Hardly.

I highly doubt eradicating mankind in Sol was actually the purpose.
....
Think of that device as a simple bulldozer. DK were known to shape the systems to their likings, some Nomads were just no more than devices to see that being done. We were just having our anthills there, no more than that.

Where do you get that idea?

So the fact that
-the bulldozer arrived exactly at the point when the war in sol was ending and humanity would be united and not fighting each other
-the nomads first turned the humans against each other in Sirius so that they could mop them up later
-the war in Sol was sensless and insane and neverending and no one remembered how it started in the first place, but still it kept going on and on

was all a coincidence?
Also, Sol was presumably destroyed at a time where the DKV had already left. Unless the trip to Sirius took millions of years, or they just disappeared from Sirius and not the rest of the universe.

Have a fresh sight onto things and try not tie it to humans too much, it is highly naive to think that we had any specific role in DK plans, they would not be concerned about welfare of some pesky specie on the outskirts of galaxy nobody cares about.

I never said that humans had any role in DKV plans. Why are you putting that into my mouth? Are you refering to when I said the DKV are the monkeys and maybe us being descendants of the DKV? That was more of a joke, really. To illustrate the wild theories one could make. When I found the monkey planet in vanilla I thought it would be cool if those were the DKV (or the "creators" and DKV, since the names of the monkeys may be the devs of freelancer).

We think too much of ourselves and our role in the grand scheme of things, delusional belief that we are actually somehow important whereas we might be easily not.

Look at it outside of human-egocentric view, just for once, you know.

Uhm... I actually said that humans are insignificant to the nomads, and I asume the DKV didnt even know humans existed and were less than monkeys at the time the DKV lived. The rest, you are putting into my mouth.

Thats the second time you say "the grand scheme of things".
Do you have any specific thing in mind when oyu say that? If yes then what is it?

And... no offense, you call me naive, delusional, egocentric, and you keep repeating how low humans are.

Maybe you are a bit of what you call humans and me yourself?

I'll confess to one thing: I like humans. And if we are not the smartest or most powerful, I still like humans anyway. For our diversity, our emotions, our ability to use logic, to love, our humor, our music, our achievements and an infinity of other things. What I dont like about humans is that they tend to harm other humans. And we harm some animals and our environment, but thats less tragic than harming a human. And humans feel more compassion for other species and their environment than any other species. The other species dont show more consideration for their environment, they are just not able to affect it on the scale like us humans can.
You dont seem to like humans a lot and to think that you are for some reason better than most humans, judging by what you post here.
The universe is huge, we are in one solar system among billions of other solar systems.
But everything you know about, all the things that you know that must be bigger than us (physically "bigger", not mentally "bigger")... you know because humans, mostly other humans than you... found out about it and told you. You asume and imagine that there must be greater minds in the universe than humans. Kinda like the DKV or mabye also nomads. But those are in your imagination. In your HUMAN imagination.


EDIT: you added this while I was posting

Surely mankind has paved it's path to Sirius running away from the war in Sol, but they are not the end of all things. Freelancer is human-centric game universe indeed, but to think that humans are the reason of all things happening around is far fetching to say the least.

I never said that everything the nomads do is because of humans. They probably did the same to a number of other species which they saw as a threat.
But looks at the infiltrator nomad. That was clearly designed to control a human. The nomads adapt to what ever they meat. If they need to infiltrate a species of shrimp, they will make an infiltrator that can infect shrimp.
