Indigenous Life? When did that appear?
- Thread starter NeilF
- Start date
Been there at least since 1.3 IIRC. ;-)
Yup, been there back when I discovered my first ELW - and that wasn't exactly recently 
Definitely before patch 1.3. Since this is an F type star maybe 1-2 Billion years ago.
I see what you did there! Think you're sooo clever don't you...
OK... It kinda was
Not new, as my OCR package has been looking for this text specifically since a while.
I was wondering about the indegenous life a bit when all people were so excited about "alien life in the Pleiades" all of a sudden. We know the indegenous life is sometimes quasi-earth and includes arthropods (ant grub glue rare trade item), so specific arthropods are only a matter of choosing a large enough sample. When arthropods decide to go sessile I imagine they will come out looking like barnacles with high probability (-> independent evolution of similar traits). In addition, we'd start running into things which look like barnacles but are something else than actual arthropods (molluscs, sessile vertabrates, alien others). The bubble, which is rich in original earth-likes, quite possible has "large barnacles" too, in several different colours.

Lots of indigenous life out there, but that could mean single-celled beasties or reality-tv stars - it's intelligent life we're all hankering for.
I personally think it's a shame that there's not more of a wow-factor when finding alien life (however simple) on your travels...
