Missions are obviously given to kill them, or shoo them off in a certain direction, but what if they were capable of traveling between sectors great distances, like say 20k out. I think this would put in a great dynamic because nothing seems unknown in this universe that is VO. Why not have random such space beings float around possibly being attracted to high concentrations of certain gaseous ore, ahhemm heliocene... ahhemm...

And here you'd think that Serco were alien enough

;_; Toasters need love, too.

Seriously, though. There are currently no alien creatures in VO save for Bunchies.

This alien would like to have a word with you.

I knew this would happen.

Watch it, pinkie...that hair of yours alone is more alien than anything we Serco have churned out.

It would be cool to add some mystery. Vendette seems very bland. Lots of empty space, sitting there doing nothing. It would be interesting to add some sort of aliens or mystery ships. Imagine meeting some comrades in a supposedly empty sector and discovering a derelict capital ship, just floating there.

and if you have enough people, you can TAKE OVER IT!
Brilliant!

Bring back the NPC pirates!

Weren't the Stygian Furies supposed to be something alien-esque?

There is a plan for the Furies.

Last time I saw furies was in Sector 17 and 18.

You can manufacture pet furies Toshiro. The grey static queen sectors still have a pair, or did last time I found one.

have you guys ever heard of "random encounters" aka in some sectors a random even will occur without any kind of warning (kinda like ionstorms, just with aliens or meteor showers instead)

Never heard of it. Vendettians do not believe in 'random' >_>

Random is nonsense, we believe in the preordained which usually results in Bunchies, bunches and bunches of Bunchies.
OR
You enter Edras C-2.
You encounter a Bunchie.
You fail your savings throw.
You are eaten by the Bunchie.

Random Encounters -> this mite help you understand http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Random_encounters

Fallout 3 has managed to get it right, so VO should be ablt to do the same thing -_-
