Then they can understand why, and despite it would be glad to open up relations with the Alexandrians. The Equestrians are all for peace and trade, so expect most of the first meetings revolving around trying to get a trade route set up.Edit: Both you and Key ninjaed me THANKS A LOT.

I don't mean to sound like a noob hear, but what is Ninja'ing? And if I did it I didn't mean to T_T

It basically means when someone is posting but unaware another person is, you ninja someone when you post before them when you were making a post and they were at the same time. Also mind telling us who the Alexandrians stumbled upon?

They are meant to have stumbled upon the Supremes, and are trying to contact them using the only alien language they have come across English!

Apologize for the massive delay in my app, i've been on a gaming streak.

And an AI race is hard to think out. I will still try to manage finishing this, though.

[WilsonTurner]

Sukui, just a suggestion/idea, but the Draconians made many different AIs and VIs. Perhaps a 'lost' and 'forgotten' AI/VI left on an abandoned planet started over again with the facilities there, and eventually went back to the stars? Idk.

Four days later and my app never got accepted? D:

Actually your app was accepted, pretty much two or three posts after you posted it....

[WilsonTurner]

I like your race, Toaw!
:DD

Also, I hope that your Alexanderwhomeverheis tries to take the bit of control he has and uses it, and makes the Supreme derobe. He is clothed underneath, but I wanna describe :DDDDDDDDD

[Toaw]

My next post is everyone's chance to make contact with the Alexanders if they wish. So don't be afraid to detect it, also I wouldn't dare not ask one of the Supremes to remove their robe!

[hacher5]

I think it would be safe to assume what's in those "asteroids" are the Domu remnants, possibly the Elles Gem? That's my best guess, and it does actually add up :L

Alrighty.

I was planning for them to be technological remnants of my previous race, but Draconian origins sound more interesting

[null123]

I actually doubt the Drac origins would make sense. The MWG is pretty cleaned out of Drac tech, you have to go to other galaxies for it.

[WilsonTurner]

The Dracs could hide inside any of the Big Three's backyards if they really wanted. There would be ways to hide an entire planet.

And there are, actually, other galaxies with Draconian influence. There were, what, 4 or 5 different Draconian factions, only one of them being at the MWG? I'm planning on at least two of these still thriving: you'll read about it in a Supreme post sometime soon. Most likely with negotiations with the humans.

[darkwolf687]

The other galaxies are cut off and, for all the Milky Way knows, quite possibly a destroyed hellscape by now...

[WilsonTurner]

Then there wouldn't be the Supremes. The Supremes' existence proves that other galaxies exist. And with the rate of growth, a single galaxy wouldn't be enough, especially with everyone's reluctance to fight over resources.

[darkwolf687]

I thought the Supremes had been hiding in a different universe?

Regardless, any way to safely pass to other galaxies at all should be thoroughly avoided for the time being. The point of this sequel was to avoid the issues from before, and part of that was eliminating the possibility of intergalactic empires. There is no rate of growth here that will consume the huge number of planets in the milky way any time soon. The moment we end up with nations large enough to need to move to other galaxies is the moment one can well and truly declare the sequel a failure with no reservations. Considering that, collectively, we don't even hold 200 planets should prove we don't need to move to another galaxy at all any time soon.
If people aren't going to fight to get the resources they need then tough luck, they can perish. That's how it is, no deus ex machina to make the other galaxies reachable/habitable is coming in the foreseeable future, so everyone needs to adapt or die.

No one should be holding even a hundred planets for at least two dozen more pages, I think we're good for now

Please note that the image used in my latest post is not mines. It was merely a request to a friend who drew it for me.

[Toaw]

You forgot to reply to the Alexandrians T_T duck

[null123]

oops sorry let me do that now.

[null123]

It has been done
