It would be fun to implemente in SEV...

wouldn't it be an odd thing, to see proof-positive of advanced alien life (sphereworlds, quasars that blinked in morse code, whatever) but being only able to observe from afar, and not contact?

Ever seen the movie "Contact"? It's a crappy movie, but it has quite some significance regarding what you said, Puke.....
