There are lots of discussions on the forums about the ways the Aliens interact -- they don't directly fight but there are lots of ways they compete, and ways you can manipulate them. It is part of the game universe ... you also won't see them fighting in Templar Assault ... Star Traders RPG ... Star Traders 4X ... Templar Battleforce ... Star Traders 2, etc. If we make another 4X game, it will feature all the normal traditional 4X features we avoided in ST 4X. We tried to make something unique, but maybe it would have been better to stick to the basics!  |

I get what you mean about ST4X but....I still think it was a cool idea and I'd be more then happy to see a sequel to it. It's one of my favorite games in fact! |

What if the Flying Spaghetti Monster showed up every few hundred games, and devoured all xeno before preaching about a distant dead world that once harbored distant relatives of the factions? So am I hired? Cory Trese - fallen |

It would be a good thing for the ai to fight eachother but they don't so i'm going to point out the elephant in the room. Why aren't they fighting eachother like every other organism ?

The Xenoforms were created by the Alfaan, and designed to specialize in different tasks. Some species were specialized for mining, some for combat, etc. There was an ancient time when different Xeno species were interdependent on each other. For whatever reason, the Xenoforms eventually lost their ability to function with other Xeno species cohesively, but they still recognize each other as "friendly". |

The Alfaan were an alien civilization that existed long before humans. They were sworn enemies of the Xarth, the civilization that created the Narvidians.
