    I've noticed a lot of changes from concept to flight.  Hopefully the actual ship will have changes made to make visibility better.

    It would be a lot more impressive if you could actually visit the Banu Protectorate. Now it feels too detached from the reality of the game.

    Perhaps we eventually will. They are all planets part of planned solar systems.

    Attm most of the landing zones are on the Stanton system, being that the starter system for the game, but It would be expectable that the system rollout for the game (pre/post launch) will come with more landing zones like Arccorp/Microtech/Hurston.

    One landing zone based on this concept ( http://i.imgur.com/F6iwKoA.jpg ) would be pretty impressive indeed.

    Yeah ... 360 degree surround vision with cameras ... totally impossible ... it is only an ugly rumour that the pilots in the early 21st century already used that. And use of VR .... another impossible rumour. 

    And surely no advances in visualization technology will be made in the next 930 years.

    We'll looking at the Banu, I'd say there definitely is a common ancestor with us humans.

    Close your eyes really tight... imagine standing on a planet surrounded by guys with faces that look like prunes.... imagine you are in the year 2027.

    Congrats, you are visiting the Banu Protectorate. All ships sold seperately, cash only please.

    You have not looked too closely when watching "Guardians of the Galaxy", have you?

    The Banu are amphibean/reptilian. Some say "turtle-like".

    Groot is a Tree ... kinda.

    Yes, I know ... hard to differentiate.

    You sound personally aggrieved that the Banu resemble Groot (to a small degree). Actually they look more like a cross between Groot and Voldemort...

  • BabuinixBabuinix Member EpicPosts: 4,265
    I think the Xi'An are the turtle guys with their distinct nose and dry skin, Banu look more like lizardy with their slimy and shiny skin.



    I hope that in the future CIG releases an update allowing us to play with the Xi'an and Banu, maybe even the Vaandul or Tevarian.

    There's a resemblance and that's all that matters.

    Relevant to this thread, today's town hall about Banu, they confirmed that landing zones for the Banu are indeed plans for the game. Unknown if by release or after.

    • [Will it be possible to buy Vanduul goods from a Banu merchant?] They would expect so. They've talked about the possibility of Banu trade centers where you can go there and see a wide variety of goods from different races.

    • [Are there Banu that dislike humans or is it more just towards the UEE?] There are Banu who have issues with humans, but as a whole they're fine with them.

    • [Banu Language, can you tell us anything about their language?] As far as the language itself they haven't quite gotten to it yet as they're working on Xi'an and Vanduul. They're fairly proficient in speaking their language.

    • [How will different metrics between humans and aliens be dealt with?] For the most part they've been able to modify cockpits to what they need. For example the Scythe having the "Massage Bed" seat as Johnny called it was a way to make it human compatible. For something like the Defender the Banu made it with humans in mind.

    • [Do the Banu have a Senate or a way to have all the planets keep in contact?] For the most part planets run themselves, but if there was an issue that needed them all, then they would have a "Gathering" as it's called to discuss the issue which acts similar to a senate.

    • [Does the writing team favour certain Sci-Fi series for inspiration?] They do take inspiration from other series, but it's more of a starting point rather than direction. They want to make sure that they create something unique and not just different for the sake of it.

    • [How do Banu procreate?] They don't share the same style of parenting as humans where there's a male and female, but rather when a child is born, they're sold off to the state as to encourage brotherhood as you don't know who your family is and therefore anyone could be your family. When a Banu reaches a certain age they're assigned to career based off their talents.

    • [Do the Banu breathe other atmosphere's than humans?] They haven't quite gotten that far, but Banu have a better survivability than humans to where humans dictate certain planets lethal, but they're survivable to Banu. There's even a case where the Banu created a place for humans because they wanted them to visit as humans couldn't otherwise.

    • [Can you hire Banu for crew members?] Most likely.

    • [Because the Banu don't like war, does this make them more diplomatic?] In a weird way yes. When an agreement is made, it's tied to the Souli and so when that Souli dies then the agreement has to be renewed with the appointed Souli. So because of how many times they have to renew, they've gotten pretty good at diplomacy.

    • [If I choose to go into Xi'An space and pass through Kr'Thak space to get into Xi'An space, would I be considered hostile?] They don't know, but more than likely the Xi'An wouldn't be pleased.

    • [Will having a Banu ship make it easier to travel through Banu space?] Not likely as the Banu don't start with hostile action to begin with and if anything they would be happy seeing someone flying their ship.

    • [Regarding the Tevarin, how extensively was their history destroyed?] Well the Tevarin didn't' lose history, but rather wanted to forget the past and distance themselves from it.


    The Banu parenting ways could be adapted to the human race no? :p

    He definitely looks like he sounded very offended, lol.

    As if he created it or something.

    It's just a game, lol.
