Sibyyl Gallente Federation 23583	Posted - 2015.03.02 02:40:29 - [2] - Quote The Vorta from Deep Space 9. They were genetically engineered and cloned. They were quite intelligent and devious. Weyoun IV's first meeting with Cisco is one of my favorite Star Trek scenes.. Edit: Why do I think they're the best? I really don't know! I just like them!

I suspect The Culture is names such as in a "culture of mould" or a "culture of bactera" looking at a mix of life forms as interesting things in the metaphorical petri dish from probably the perspective of the minds, that control the ships and stations.

The technology of the Culture is such that an organic member may choose pretty much any organic form they wish. One humanoid character was female during the novel but had changed sexes at least twice. Another character chose life as an animal for a time. Physical shape and ability is largely a matter of style in the Culture. If you're a human in the Culture, you don't have to stay that way.

But the xenomorphs are indeed awesome. And continue to be awesome despite all the damage done to them by money hungry suit-wearing types. It seems they're prepping to flog the xenomorphs some more... might be a little more loose change in there somewhere.

Burtzum Det Som Engang Var 34	Posted - 2015.03.03 01:07:14 - [31] - Quote Yeah Predator was pretty cool. And such an improvement over the original design they had for the creature. heh. Seeing the variations in the outfits and helmets in Predator 2 was also cool. It kinda looks like they build and modify their own gear kinda like how every Jedi builds their own lightsaber. Also, the first Predator movie had Ahnold, who is perhaps my favorite alien of all time. And now I want to go watch Alien, Predator, Terminator, etc. They don't make em like they used to. Back in my day... grumble grumble grumble...
Sibyyl Gallente Federation 23599	Posted - 2015.03.03 01:13:49 - [32] - Quote I will also mention that if you look at the casualties of a single Xenomorph vs a Predator, the Predator was able to eliminate higher skilled targets (and more of them).

Zealous Miner 7	Posted - 2015.03.03 02:56:27 - [34] - Quote I love the Borg. They're so sinister and all of the episodes and movies they're in they seem to carry with them this sense of dread and danger. Very menacing. Their implants and cybernetics are also just the coolest ever. The newest look at the Drifters also reminds me heavily of the classic Borg look. I'm also a big fan of hive minds and collectives. In EVE Sansha's Nation and the Rogue Drones are two of my favorite factions. I voted for Sabriz Adoudel for CSM10. You should too. www.minerbumping.com
Burtzum Det Som Engang Var 37	Posted - 2015.03.03 03:02:44 - [35] - Quote No Kermit, they were the blue squid-headed aliens in Mass Effect, this is an Ansari. Blue aliens seem to be hypersexual. There was that blue gal in Farscape that was always going around screwing people with her ear. She was too new-agey hippy-dippy for me though. Oh man... talking about hypersexual aliens, Chiana! Hottest alien babe ever. They never really went into her race (Nebari) much though. They were a bunch of controlling assholes with insane firepower apparently. Meh. One of them looked like Elvis.

Mehrune Khan Viziam Amarr Empire 25	Posted - 2015.03.03 14:31:26 - [39] - Quote I like the Andorians from Star Trek. They are quick to anger, patriotic, love weapons, are religious and are one of the few races in the Federation that still maintain their own military. Where most other trekkies dream of being in Starfleet, I would want to serve on an Andorian vessel. I like their attitude. They seem very right-wing.

So did the Giger art. But I was really disappointed with them in Prometheus. Mystery gone. Less interesting. Yeah... it's kinda weird hearing Ridley Scott talk about how much he fought to have the spacejockey scene in the first Alien movie, a scene the studio had declared useless and too expensive. And hear him talk about how the mystery of that scene made the universe of Alien feel much bigger. Then he makes Prometheus and craps all over their mystique. The spacejockeys are suddenly a fraction of their former size and their elephant-like looks are revealed to be nothing more than spacesuits containing pale skinhead dudes. And they're violent and genocidal because reasons. Meh. But everything about that movie was off. The other alien creatures were no where near as cool looking as the creatures from the original, the spacejockey architecture was less biological looking and much more straight up mechanical looking for some reason, all the characters were idiots, etc.
Marsha Mallow 1996	Posted - 2015.03.05 01:37:37 - [51] - Quote The Centauri, but only because Londo is my favourite character in a sci fi setting. Although he is pretty much human. Possibly the Pattern Jugglers as a race just because they are enigmatic and don't fit into the humanoid racial template. I'd mention an Adam Roberts race here from a novel I recently read but it'd ruin the plot, so just read all of his stuff Khergit Deserters wrote: Are those the ones from Ursula LeGuin The Left Hand of Darkness?

I kind of think only a female writer could conceive of that tale, and tell it in depth. Anyway, not a book you soon forget. I love her stuff. They are referred to as Gethenians as far as I recall (by the envoy, but they refer to themselves based upon their local area), and they're not really aliens either but a mutation of humanoid which has evolved in response to the climate. Her father was a noted anthropologist and it shows in her works, although she's also a feminist (60s style), buddhist and poet. The Dispossessed is probably my favourite novel. These do have to be read carefully because of when they were written, although she's written some short stories to revisit the settings which are really interesting. I think she tagged the Gethenian one I read as "chance to actually get in the kemmerhouse and have some fun with it".

I agree that it's the kind of story only a woman could tell in depth. It might not be explained in the novel itself, but the ambassador is a member of a race known as the Ekumen who seeded various planets with humanoid colonies in the past and then return to see how they have evolved. It is very much a social commentary. Her sci fi stuff generally falls into the same universe, usually called the Hainish cycle. I used to agree that female writers generally leaned towards that type of narrative until I read some recent stuff by men. Adam Roberts (everything) and Kim Stanley Robinson (The Mars series) really seem to be breaking the mould in the way they write. Definitely worth a look.

Ila Dace Center for Advanced Studies Gallente Federation 12951	Posted - 2015.03.06 03:28:25 - [54] - Quote I guess I should do a bit more 'splainin' about Xeelee. - They're technically a Type IV civilization on the Kardashev scale, capable of wielding the energy of the entire universe. - They've colonized every galaxy in the universe - They traveled back in time to colonize the early universe and effectively retro-engineer their own race. - Some of their number are creatures composed of Bose-Einstein condensates and live backwards in time. - Engineered millions of galaxies into a portal that ripped open reality to form a gateway to other universes. - Their ships, also made of Bose-Einstein condensates can: -- accelerate from 0 to 0.5c instantaneously using the Discontinuity Drive -- usually arrive shortly before they leave due to a hyperdrive that alters space-time -- shrug off supernovas and exploding magnetars at point blank range -- create stars, planets and an ecosystem based on the DNA of its occupants They're essentially the baddest of all bad-asses, without being magical.

And screamers from old_ish sci-fi movie basically rotary blades that gain intelligence and (re)production capabilities later on. Starship troopers bugs also know their way around cutting and slicing nicely.

He was pretty cool On the third day after your birth myself and my sister's will come to you and decide your fate.

Although he is pretty much human. Possibly the Pattern Jugglers as a race just because they are enigmatic and don't fit into the humanoid racial template. I'd mention an Adam Roberts race here from a novel I recently read but it'd ruin the plot, so just read all of his stuff Khergit Deserters wrote: Are those the ones from Ursula LeGuin The Left Hand of Darkness? That book kind of worked my mind over a few times along the way. The people who go into a sort of estrus (kemmer, I think it was called?), and either one can become the male or female. And the outworld ambassador, who had to do a long trek across ice with his local radical political opponent. Who very professionally does what is needed to try to ensure their survival. And then goes into kemmer sex transformation, mid-camping trip.... That book was less "sci-fi" than exploration of a lot of what-ifs of anthropology and psychology. I kind of think only a female writer could conceive of that tale, and tell it in depth. Anyway, not a book you soon forget. I love her stuff. They are referred to as Gethenians as far as I recall (by the envoy, but they refer to themselves based upon their local area), and they're not really aliens either but a mutation of humanoid which has evolved in response to the climate. Her father was a noted anthropologist and it shows in her works, although she's also a feminist (60s style), buddhist and poet. The Dispossessed is probably my favourite novel. These do have to be read carefully because of when they were written, although she's written some short stories to revisit the settings which are really interesting. I think she tagged the Gethenian one I read as "chance to actually get in the kemmerhouse and have some fun with it". Indahmawar Fazmarai wrote: That's one fascinating story and a very believable alien society. My only gripe is that, as far as I remember, LeGuin never explains the origin of that race. Are them true aliens? Modified human? I recall that some of them are "ill" and are locked in a gender, without the transitions, and they're both pitied and reviled as sexual perverts -which infludences how the society perceives the gender-locked human envoys. I agree that it's the kind of story only a woman could tell in depth. It might not be explained in the novel itself, but the ambassador is a member of a race known as the Ekumen who seeded various planets with humanoid colonies in the past and then return to see how they have evolved. It is very much a social commentary. Her sci fi stuff generally falls into the same universe, usually called the Hainish cycle. I used to agree that female writers generally leaned towards that type of narrative until I read some recent stuff by men. Adam Roberts (everything) and Kim Stanley Robinson (The Mars series) really seem to be breaking the mould in the way they write. Definitely worth a look. Ah, Kim Stanley Robinson and the Mars series. They were one tough read the first time, but after reading them four times I mostly enjoy those books... so I'll give them a fifth read someday. There are many things I don't like of those books* but the trilogy is a master work, well worth reading. I am puzzled by the absolute lack of humour, FAI, and I also hate* Maya Toitovna and could live without knowing Jackie Boone... The Greater Fool Bar_ is now open for business, 24/7. Come and have drinks and fun somewhere between RL and New Eden! _
