Why do we want to be friends with the aliens?

Uh yeah but i've also read that elite aliens use biotechnology far beyond our in game level of comprehension, i want my goodies before dying of old age :)
we nuked their biotech out and we're going to do it again...
Actually we've used bioweapons.
 
Combat is inevitable because of gameplay, but my hopes lie in both being possible - that the aliens themselves have factions, for example.
 
I will take a peaceful path. Why?

Because this is a spaceship game with a huge amount of assets that are guns. And a huge amount of players shoot stuff with them. A warring state with the alien life in Elite is all but guaranteed.

So if anything, the peaceful exchanges with aliens will be brief, and likely at the very earliest phases of interaction. After that, I doubt there will be much effort by them to communicate outside green death rays.

I'd like to see if there is any initial peaceful intent with these beings, if there is any kind of cryptic messages they might give us, before things go bad.
 
Pray for peace, prepare for war. Honestly, i think we will get both. DB already said there are more than just a singular variety of alien to look fwd to heh
 
I don't have issues with peace but it's the most boring option.


Pseudo intellectuals boiling down combat to pew pew pew shouldn't be the same people making first contact either.

I agree. I'd be a terrible first contacter. You never know whether wisecracks translate well.

Didn't know he could sing as well.

More than one type of alien?...that's good to read.[up]
I'm hoping there's a lot more substance, intrigue and mystery, plus a more constructive/interactive type of gameplay with these types of encounters. :)

I keep reading threads about how we should be careful when approaching any potential alien encounters. About how we should nurture our relationships with them and we can all be friends. Where's the fun in that? I've a combat kitted 44ly DBX ready to go and I'm going to shoot on sight any pesky alien creatures - it's the human way. After all, we've all been crying out for more danger haven't we? From tomorrow, I'm off with my futuristic pickaxe and torch and I'm going to hunt these pesky critters down, shoot first, and not even bother to think later. I don't want a relationship with an alien that involves travelling halfway across the galaxy to trade some coffee for green algae. I want to fight them! It's survival of the fittest and I'm going to start a WAR! Mwha hahahahaha!

You´re from the US, right?
haha, just kidding

"Why not?" should be the question.

I have no enemies on this planet.
Why should I want them on another one?

But for this game I want there to be diversity.
So what I want in the game are friendly aliens as well as hostile aliens.
The Thargoids for example might have factions or sub species, some of which are friendly.
