' Wrote:Because the Nomad that destroyed Sol was huge, bigger then the planet they were fighting over if I remember right (Haven't seen the intro in a while)
When whatshisface told the governments about the giant alien, they figured that they would be able to detect something that big if it even got anywhere close.
But the thing is, Nomads of today's standards are minuscule compared to that mega-weapon, and not as easy to detect, hence why the Governments were caught off guard.
More speculation. Where is the fact? Where is the lore? Where are the infocards, the rumors the news articles?
Remember the Nomad Suncrusher litterally appeared out of thin air (or space, in this case? Can you even get thin space?) How could the governments be content enough to sit back and let an alien race mind**** civilisation if they knew these things could cloak and/or transwarp through space if they knew about them.
It just doesn't make sense. Freelancer's campaign, our lore, our facts, were based around the intro given to us on release, not the retconned extended intro. That was likely a beta intro, developed before Microsoft got DA's nuts in a vice. It is obsolete in the face of what we have, and shouldn't even be considered as even remotely canon.
