Ok,
Alot of people are probably gonna disagree with this..... (namely the dev.'s) but here we go....=P
In many "Sci-Fi Genre's" future humans are usually portrayed as being quite advanced, at least technologically, if not culturely as well & this has always been an aspect of Sci-Fi that I have enjoyed. It is my opinion that the human race is more likely to advance and save it self then to fall into decay. We are just to damn stubborn for that...=P
But the T.E.C. in game for me has always seemed like a 'Junked-up merc fleet' made in a desperate move to save their already decaying worlds, which is of course part of the story-line & I get that, but I dont know, it just always seemed unlikely to me. Have yopu ever seen a squad of military troops or a group of activists? We as a race are already far beyond that, or at least I'd like to think we are. The advent rock, to say the least... (except for the giant chili pepper in space) & as far as "bad guys" go the vasari rock to. But the humans in my opinion seem so.....dis-organized & more like a collection of "scrap-yard tanks" then are realistically veasible defensive force.
A simple cosmetic suggestion would be to give the T.E.C ships armor and textures similar to the advent. shiny silvery armor(mabey with some kind of lighting affect in the exposed sections that reflects an attitude of technological superiority), which western culture usually has.... as opposed to the "beat-up chevy's in space" (forgive the analogy) fleet.
I am sure that many people (including the dev.s) would probably dis-agree with me on any one point, if not them all. But, as this seems to be such an open forum w/ gr8 people, I thought to myself... why not make my opinions known, so here they are.... lol
Anyone agree or even dis-agree? I'd love to hear your thoughts about it...
