New Faction Speculation [Hype]

Maybe the Precursors will be making their debut??? I hope it’s super cool and stuff.

The Precursors have really taken a back seat lore-wise with the Crystallids (the aliens for all those who didn’t read the Northstar posts) are currently the main focus from what I see, with the majority of their attacks focusing on crippling the defences of the factions. Whether it be destroying some Dreadnaughts (remember the release?) or destroying the defences of a system whilst the military is occupied elsewhere, they always seem to cripple, never aiming at the heart of a faction.

 

*I should really open a lore discussion topic now that I think of it*

 

So it could entirely be possible that the Precursors could step forward, whether it be to attack the factions or to strike back at the Crystallids, the lore around them has never been specific about what they did before they disappeared. Either way, if they were to reappear the factions would obviously make some attempt at gaining their technology, it is simply human logic.

 

 

 

Biomorph ships are crystal. Crystal grows. :3

Biomorphs are allied ships assimilated into the Crystallid AI via hostile means (hence the giant spike jutting out the front). So technically they do grow. Just not in the right way.

Don’t know what you want. I don’t mean with that a sect. No a it’s a race. Nuff said.

I got the reference. Teladi or Boron perhaps.

Like for X3, yaaay  :00555:

We’ve already got “Teladi” in this game. Faction of traiders, smugglers and the fastest ships. Rings a bell?

Sorry to disprove you, but Teladi were the slowest, but the biggest shieldtanks.

Jericho has one spot of this, but the aggressive nature(for me it seem so) tend them towards split.

Dunno, I only played X-beyond the frontier and X-tension that much I can speak of. Teladian “Bat” was one of the fastest ships I ever encountered in that game. And that giant teladian “Condor”. It was fast as hell in the very first game of the series. Not to compare with paranid interceptors, though.

Then you remember something false eh?

Split: Mostly fastest ships(fed), but lowest shield(emp) with aggressive nature.

Teladi: Slowest ships(emp) with highest shield(jer). Profit make them mercs and near pirate(if it makes profit, the sense of law can be put away).

All other are between those.

Xenon K ftw!

I frankly can’t remember long enough ago to remember X-BTF or X-T.  :013j: I do recall the Teladi Kestrel being one of the fastest M5s in X3.

 

That said, it still wasn’t the fastest. The Argon had the fastest M5 out there that you could only capture - The Arrow. That thing went gate to gate in no time flat. Outran missiles too.

 

And LOL - we’re talking about X on the SC forum. Maybe this is a little off topic.  :fed002:

It’s not so offtopic as you think guys. Right talking about X-universe is first nonsense, but without the big picture.

In X there were some exceptions for speed/weapon/slots and so on. But the general factiontrait remain the same. So it is currently with J/E/F. So what difference can we expect? Maybe a mix or something totally new? It’s hard to find a balance to NOT just copy a current available theme like model/factiontrait.

Dev will maybe take a break after the T5 destroyer to gain the ability to think about something different as currently available, else the wheel will not spin for a long time. (^.^)

What do you think? Any ideas? Have any other info? I need it all! X3

I wonder what the ships will look like!!

 

I’d agree it is a cyber-organic faction, with cyber / alien implants to control ship things !

Or the Pilgrims (“Wing Commander”) are back from the Vega sector (they need no Nav-Comm AI) !!

The Mauler should be moved into a tab called “Computer parts”

Lol - exactly!

 

 

Will we get Reavers - that are Space Zombies ??
