    Re: Random Thoughts Thread

    The discrepancy isn't so huge that there's any evidence Metzen just forgot what he was talking about while writing the game. And how are the Xel'Naga the antagonist in SC1?


    Yes, bug monsters...

    Re: Random Thoughts Thread

    I get not liking it but Metzen didn’t meddle with or retcon something from the same exact game. He did whatever he wanted.

    My opinion is that it’s also not a big deal because the swarm doesn’t...

    Re: Let's brainstorm a Starcraft rip-off

    Psionics. I guess as long as it's done with technology I'm happy. Didn't think that was possible to read surface thoughts though.

    Re: Let's brainstorm a Starcraft rip-off

    FTL? I don't really care. I just don't want telepaths.

    The bug monster race needs to rely on some harder sci fi. I don't like small creatures shrugging off hypersonic spikes and tank shots, so...

    Re: Protoss photosynthesis is ridiculous

    Needs evidence. The Void by definition is energy drawn from the cold void of space, which for all intents and purposes is infinite.


    That's incorrect and there's literally a trove of evidence...

    Yeah it’d be cool to have someone who cares about consistency to start fresh with a new universe.

    Re: Protoss photosynthesis is ridiculous

    I think everyone’s been pretty clear on the Khala and void being an energy source when it gets brought up though. But the Khala is clearly a bunch of things at once. And nobody has mentioned yet that...

    1. The author is not mistaken and the stories aren’t inconsistent. It’s your fanon interpretation that’s off. How do you even play the games without noting the different energy sources? You can’t. ...

    Re: Protoss photosynthesis is ridiculous

    1. The Void Ray explicitly gathers the energy of the Khala via mechanical means. It’s more than just a telepathic link between Protoss. The high templar channels the energy of the khala, etc.

    Re: Protoss photosynthesis is ridiculous

    1) I thought it was obvious to everybody that the khala and void are external energy pools (see VoK's post 43). Literally, every piece of lore alludes to that. The knowledge of dead khalai being...

    They absorb/excrete stuff through their skin at a molecular level, which would barely effect them as they get their energy source from somewhere else. Completely different than excreting mass...

    Re: Protoss photosynthesis is ridiculous

    At best I think you can say the Xel’Naga ran into all those species and made them compatible, but they were only active in the k sector and on Zerus.
