Generally I'd say there's far too many assumptions, and we have theories based on these assumptions coming out of our ears.
Nobody here knows that the UA is going to be explained tomorrow, therefore there is no "coincidence".
Uhhh what about it?
We have a scarcity of facts - so all we have are assumptions/theories - we've tried to prove lots of them - but all we've done is disprove everything we've tried.
The process of gaining knowledge about things in general is to make an assumption - then test it. Quite often the person who figures out how to test an assumption is not the same person who thought of the theory. Some times (in science) a theory is proven or disproven many years later.
So I think - Bring on the theories...and bring on ways to test them.
OK but that's not what I was saying. You were making an assumption, using that to make another assumption and then calling it too much of a coincidence and therefore the assumptions must probably be true!
Theorizing based on assumptions is fine, but all passing those assumptions off as fact does is shut down other theories.
Aye you're right, apologies, I think I'm just getting a bit frustrated with it all. =(
Hi all not truly related but this was in the galnet today.
Everyone onboard the shuttle was killed including Sean Richards, a senior consultant engineer who helped to compile the incident report on the recent disappearance of Starship One. Richards had also formed part of the task force some 50 years earlier with the Antares enquiry.
It is just a small thing to note the feds are killing of anyone who knows the truth??????
Right but it seems strange that he was part of this and the Antares search also......
Yup - check out the last 10 pages or so of this forum - lots of us find this interesting...
Funny thing is we know that people , rarely but have, crashed using the Docking computer so it is plausibly an accident if we go by that.
I mean it isn't unheard of in the lore and in the game so it doesnt scream sabotage.
And even then, I favour the Political side of the motives.
Then Cogressman Hudson, Admiral Vincent and their henchmen engineer military failures for the Halsey, the VP gets assassinated, then the President and new VP go missing in a mis jump, on a tour leading up to the Federal Constitutionally Mandated Half Term Vote of confidence and then the investigator in the accident gets knocked off. In the Mean time Congressman Hudson is now el Presidente and Vincent will get a Pilot training program from CQC, No conscription today, we'll wait until we have CQC champions to draft first.
No need for a UA/Alien sub-thread in there
I can't find COL 285 WA-L b9-3 [...]
Any ideas ?
Agreed. Other than as someone (thing?) to blame for the assassinations if the "truth" starts coming out. And it could easily be two separate story lines, but the way they are hitting us over the head with the Sirius sledgehammer, and Kerrash stating essentially that it will somehow be "unlocked" tomorrow (and Sirius requiring a permit, remember) seems perhaps to indicate otherwise. In the end all it has done is sent us chasing our tails again and postulating endlessly, particularly those of us without UAs or the time or inclination to look for one, assuming we were within 10,000LY of where they are spawning, which I am not.

Edit: You know, the whole CQC thing just struck another potentially nasty chord.
In T. James' book Out of the Darkness, the secret human/Thargoid research station at Peregrina was experimenting with drugs and pilots and ship tactics with the assistance of one of the Thargoid factions (Oresrians) to aid them in their fight, and humanity's eventual fight, against the other Thargoid faction (Klaxians). Could CQC be intended to function the same way? Train Fed pilots not to fight the Empire, but to fight the "greater alien threat"? It almost fits with that storyline the more I think about it. Except FD won't give us drugs, which I would need if I were to ever even try CQC.
