    Spiders Cage Pic 1 looks cool, sneek up to a camp of unknown and primitive aliens, turn on your shuttle flood light then walk up to them like a zombie, "Take me to your leader" lol

    To be fare I like your outdoor enviroments, simple and elegent. You get too many these days that are untidy or crowded.


    I doubt we will be getting another update anytime soon, if we do it will be two days before we publish or two days after lol

    I got bored of Grinding so here's another couple of Screenshots; Starbase 74 (the map to Pic 3), An unusual Alliance... Commander Valdore follows in Hakeevs footsteps and makes a deal with the Devil.

    I just had a bit of a PSYCHE moment in another thread, thought I would share here given it's relevance;


    Hmm... ST, especially TOS, had several references to races tha had imigrated to the milky Way from Andromeda. On of the (non canon) computer games had the idea that the Tholians were one of those races.

    But... The Tholians have always been monkeying with stuff like that. Seriously, the FIRST episode with the Tholians had them experimenting with rifts between universes.

    I always liked that back-story for the Tholians, plus what if the Tholians dont have the ability to invent!? or in that matter to re-produce? That is why they have such a fasination in harnessing technology...from the future, from alternate realitys, etc. Plus why they are so aggressive over their territory, in reality their not unlike humans in their nature but they have had to produce this image to others to defend themselves.
    A good example is the first episode (Tholian Web), they could of blown the Enterprise out of the stars but they gave them a chance to rescue their Captain despite the strange excuse Spock gave about a disappearing ship.
    Plus, what if the Doomsday Machine was originally programmed to hunt down the Tholian run-aways but malfunctioned? :eek:
    And how many other Galaxys have been seeded by Tholians? :eek:
    And who/what were they escaping? :eek:


    IDEA: What if the Iconians escaped by using a gate to the Tholian Home Galaxy and enslaved them, but they rose up and escaped the Iconians in all directions seeding many Galaxies. Then when 'our' Tholians learn of the returning Iconians their thinking "uh oh, best start putting plans into motion and find a way to escape', hence their sudden hunt for Iconian Technology!
    Thats why they want the Alpha-Powers to be at peace, to be decent cannon-foder! And why they lost the ability to be creative, because the Iconians removed it to prevent them being a threat!?
    Perhaps in one of our storys we find a wrecked Tholian ship with an Iconian Data Rod, on it is a statement of parly with the Tholians, because the Iconians have already wiped out every other Tholian in every neighboring Galaxy! :eek:

    Doomsday Machine? Think thats the preoperty of someone else.. Tholians from another galaxy.. hmm its possible...

    But then I'll start to ponder what the tholians in the mirror and otehr universes are doing.. and thus my head will explude with the limitless possibilitys.

    I don't see the Tholians as uncreative. They're tech pirates because they know the value of swiping someone else's ideas. Also, in Ent we found out why they were so comfortable with creating space/time warps. They have a natural resistance to the effects of such things. Thus it's far less risky for them.

    What episode does that come from? I'm pretty sure that was never stated.

    Future Tense (aka the episode with the ship that's bigger on the inside)

    It's NOT clear if it was just hyperbole or not, but it would explain a lot about how they act...
