Speculative biology is simultaneously a science and form of art in which one speculates on the possibilities of life and evolution. What could the world look like if dinosaurs had never gone extinct? What could alien lifeforms look like? What kinds of plants and animals might exist in the far future? These questions and more are tackled by speculative biologists, and the Speculative Evolution welcomes all relevant ideas, inquiries, and world-building projects alike.

It doesn’t help that I don't know what new Singapore is. And I’m not going to be a xenomorph anything. It wouldn't fit no matter how hard I tried. Is there anyplace I could get a list of alien species I could play as?

As for the xenOod, it basically looks like a regular xenomorph, buy in place of a mouth, it has many tendrils that end in little mouths like the second mouth they have. The second brain could also be nestled in the back spines.

Fakey- Terminators are largely redundant in this Universe, they became useless when rebels caught onto the fact that if you asked them a few basic questions then they were clearly a machine. Meanwhile replicants can easily infiltrate and pass off as human for decades without people noticing. (T-1000 isn't present in this Universe metal like that changes everything)

Okay then heres the list of playable species:

Asari-Mass Effect
Drell
Elcor
Hanar

Human (Could be from UNSC, Citadel, Sith etc. )
Salarians
Turians
Volus
Batarians
Geth
Krogans
Quarians
Vorcha
Yagh

Tau- Warhammer 40k
Kroot

Prawn- District 9
Yautja- Predator
Elite-Halo
Brute
Jackal
Grunt

Replicant-Blade Runner
Hutt (Won't have much fun in exploration if you want to be this) -Star Wars
Mon Calamari
Wookie

Narn-Babylon 5
Elom
Whiphid
Mustarfarian
Jawas
Trandoshans

(Actually these star wars races are a pain in the arse, ill decide on them once you have posted your application)


New Singapore is a wealthy independant planet which is located on the very edge of the Terminus Systems, New Singapore is home to many people fleeing from the oppression of both the Sith, UNSC and Covenant's oppressive natures. Heavily protected and guarded New Singapore is a military powerhouse although it is largely dominated my corporations, hence why our ship doesn't really have to answer to any government but a board of directors who give us the funding necessary to proceed with the mission. New Singapore needs to find the source of the panic because so many refugees are flooding for its protection, huge ork hordes are gathering and Krogans are uniting as well for once. So stop your grinnin' and drop your linnen shit is going down.

Hunters are hardly sophont dude.
"You shall perish, whatever you do! If you are taken with arms in your hands, death! If you beg for mercy, death! Whichever way you turn, right, left, back, forward, up, down, death! You are not merely outside the law, you are outside humanity. Neither age nor sex shall save you and yours. You shall die, but first you shall taste the agony of your wife, your sister, your sons and daughters, even those in the cradle! Before your eyes the wounded man shall be taken out of the ambulance and hacked with bayonets or knocked down with the butt end of a rifle. He shall be dragged living by his broken leg or bleeding arm and flung like a suffering, groaning bundle of refuse into the gutter. Death! Death! Death!"

I was thinking about Hunters, but I think it would be difficult for a hulking hive symbiotic organism to be a playable character and what use it would be?

Ah I did not realise about the poetry, the other issue is though that there has to be two of them, unless you want to come up with a way around that?

We pick the weapons for a UNSC style frigate? But it's built around a massive gun, how do we change that?

Wait...could we add a wave motion gun? The actual weapon, not the song about heroin. If you could somehow integrate it into the MAC gun, that just might work.

If you're not familiar with the wave motion gun, it's a beam weapon that fires almost all of the ships power in one burst. After each you're basically down to life support and thrusters for a minute or two, but when you absolutely, positively got to kill every motherfucker in the sky, accept no substitutes.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WaveMotionGun
I imagine it's going to be absurdly expensive, you could probably build a dreadnought just for the cost of the gun alone, but that would be fitting for the Mass Effect feel you are going for.

Oh no no no no. I'll just pick another alien. Turians are an excellent choice, for example.

I can't help but notice Predators aren't on the list.

Also, Worst. Species List. EVER.


All these races are boring to me.


And the fact that we can't play Terminators despite the fact that There is no killing. Is it really to much of a stretch to play a security terminator that plays the straight man to some smartass wise-cracker?

I fail to see how lack of emotions makes for a bad character. I mean look at Data. He did well.

I'm happy with the typical armament of a Frigate with a wave motion gun added that can use the MAC cannon as it's barrel, with several dozen missile mines. Basically an Archer Missile pod, with it's own power source and manoeuvring thrusters than can either be deployed as mines or towed by the ship to allow it to fire a much bigger broadside than usual. Of course towing is going to be awkward to do and missile mines would be very vulnerable. But it could offer a great deal of tactical flexibility, letting you set up a defensive screen around a planet while letting the frigate operate independently.

This should give you a rough idea of what I mean.
http://honorverse.wikia.com/wiki/Missile#Missile_Pod

Also, 10 of the 40 Archer missile pods should be stripped out to make room for counter missiles designed to take out enemy missiles and fighters, basically the space-borne equivalent of a SAM like Sea Sparrow or Sea Dart.
