Re: OT: Alien Contact

But if a culture can build a ship than with limited resources can survive in deep space for an indefinite time, they surely have no problem surviving in their homeworld.
So unless their sun is dying or our they are self destructing their race in war I doubt that survival press them to do it.

If the planet they find an inhabited planet, will they:
1- leave them alone and do find another planet. Perhaps just stopping by to say hello, perhaps not letting the natives know they've been there.
2- exterminate or enslave the natives and colonize the planet
3- establish relations with natives, and settle in peace.
4- split their limited number and do two or all three of the things above.
Remember they will probably be outnumbered but count with higher technology.

Re: OT: Alien Contact

I agree that alien are probably very diferent from us. I mean, life have been found even in the deepest places of the oceans were life was thought impossible, thus life can be present in conditions that seem very harsh to us.
I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that every planet out there have some form of life. Though intelligent life seems to be a diferent ball game.
So there is probably very little chance that aliens are going to look like the Naboo... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Sentient life requires much more sedate conditions than microbes and small organisms. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

My wife is from Roswell NM USA, http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif ... and I understand her. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

Oh yea, Her dad was the Air Force mechanic in the Roswell New Evidence documentary.
His buddy could not keep his mouth shut. His buddy could not stop drinking and messing around with married women either. His buddy was shot dead shortly afterwards.
