Re: A little disappointed...
I think it is quite close to Sci-Fi canon to treat aliens as a thread and go to the war. Every time humans make first contact, some sort of war happens. AFAIK, only Vulcans did not try to enslave/wipeout us. Well, may be Centurians too, but Minbari rectified it

a vicious, space-traveling horde has more chance of stopping at the asteriod belt than earth. and if they want to get rid of us, they'd probably pick a worthless asteriod and drop it down the gravity well. that is, if the're 'rational'. being particularly vicious is the only reason i can think of for them to attack us.

'Drop' is not quite an accurate description. 'Shove' would do better. |

Re: A little disappointed...
Aliens always attack on TV because if they didn't it would be boring to watch...come on man...this is a game where there is much more to explore than just war...there should be races out there in the game that are peaceful and not prone to waging war...there should also be races out there that are not too good at waging it either...they all seem to kick major butt...

Re: A little disappointed...
It was my experiance that
Most of the AI were designed to be the best they could be.
Some are much more peace oriented than most. I can think of 3. I am not going to name them so I don't spoil it for anyone else.

Re: A little disappointed...
Jarhead increase your political savvy, for some reason this seems to make other races more peaceable towards you.
