    "Each crew member will be issued a Federation phase pistol" Could be a description for when it was being handed out to the crew at the time of the ship's launch, or it could be referring to us spawning with it, yea. Since we're spawning with a tek suit it wouldn't surprise me too much if we started with one of those too.

    I would say most likely they did, and the astrocetus itself may also exist.

    Important thing to take note of: 1 of the two rings that preserve life is completely corrupted, while the other is untouched. You can see this in the teaser at 0:53 and at 1:20. This isn't that Rockwell was unable to get himself out of one of the rings, as he's in the rest of the ship, and the rings are connected, so he has purposefully not touched the other ring. He has intentionally converted exactly half of the life preserving biomes, the Ark, if you will, and left the other half untouched. I would like to propose the idea that he plans on leaving humanity as it currently exists alive, instead of corrupting every last person and organism that exists. Remember, Rockwell was using the GenSim to find loyal humans, but why would they need to be loyal if he was just going to corrupt them? They wouldn't.

    They said it is a skin, so it'll be a utility skin like the glider suit it might even have no armor value since it goes over other armor, so you can upgrade without affecting the tek suit bonuses. It makes me a bit sad because that means we can't use other skins with it though. They just revealed the Rockwell's Innards biome too, and said that it's a core part of the story (like that wasn't obvious by the name.) Those eyes we saw growing out of the walls and floor earlier were all Rockwell's for sure.

    Nice that you got it. I dont have the exact location because I was speeding by with leggings at the time so by the time I noticed it, I had already passed it.

    The voice was bugged on it however, and instead of voicing the text of the note, HLN-A voiced one of the Gen 1 Chronicle Aberration notes.

    I found one in the Caverns of Lost Hope, gonna check the other caves after It was on a bridge at about 48.2, 80.3
  8. TinyHippo
    WHAT Logging in to start searching now, do you know at least what maps?
  9. TinyHippo
    Yea I actually dubbed it a rock tiger because of its similarity to the rock drake before I remembered it had a temp name already

    In the trailer, I saw: Brontos, stegos, pteros, compies, rhinos, dimorphs (i think, it was barely visible,) glow bugs, seekers, striders, the meks, and the tekuus (tek equus, the giant machine horse things.) Also of note, the tekuus "ate" both rocks and trees. Also, just noticed that one of the three pteros, was actually a quetzal.

    Awwww, I won't be ready by then I'll hop in when I'm home

    @ArkTheorist123 Interesting idea, but frankly I don't think it'll be the case. For the record, I haven't seen anything from the stream yet (I don't even know the exact time it starts, but damn I can't wait until I have enough time to watch it. It seems to me more like the tentacle broke the GenSim access point that you are talking about, not that we were getting pulled back, although I see your line of thought with that. I also think there will be a back and forth but not between Sim and ship, but between planet and ship and maybe also the Sim. But overall I don't think we'll be getting forcibly dragged back in. Sorry if it's hard to read btw, I'm posting from my phone and don't have a lot of time.

    Ohoho, very nice. If we assume that he was, being a soldier, around 30 years old (average in US today is 27) then the time frame Diana's and Santiago's group is from is going to be around 2155. I'll take it a step further and assume with no evidence at all that disaster finally struck in less than 10 years from then, or at most 20 years. It just sounds right to me, I'm not sure why honestly. This would put the rise of Corruption sometime between 2155-2175. Again, very nice find. I can't believe Cedric actually remembered that and got the joke added in. I wonder if the lasagna gives you buffs or something
  14. TinyHippo
    @ImOnFyre This is the URE logo From Diana's Aberration log #1, it also shows up in #3 or #4. It appears significantly different from the second logo you pointed out. I had assumed that the second logo you pointed out was a logo for a subgroup of the Feddies, similar to how different organizations in modern governments have their own logos. It could be a logo for the group in charge of space travel.

    Ok, I see what you mean. Personally, I'd say that's so close to the tail end of the tek age, that I wouldn't really consider it to be part of the tek age. When everything started to fall apart, that is when Corruption arose and started destroying everything. So really it depends on where you place the markers for the end of the Tek age and the beginning of the Corrupted age. But regardless of the semantics, Corruption was a known thing by then, and becoming rapidly more dangerous during the creation of the GenSim. Santiago said that. Construction may have taken quite a while, but remember that the original purpose of the GenSim was more peaceful. More learning and relaxing than training and surviving. The creation of the GenSim as we know it was more like hijacking a plane and changing course than building a new plane, and hijacking can happen much, much quicker. The Simulation was already built to handle most of what the GenSim had to be able to handle, and the rest was controlled by the AI biome controllers, so I wager it didn't take terribly long to convert it.
  16. TinyHippo
    Errr, remind me why it was created during the golden age? The Genesis Simulation was original a less dangerous simulation. It had shopping centers and such, HLN-A mentions them while she's cleaning up glitches. I would agree that the original base of the simulation was made during the golden age. But the GenSim that we know, the 5 dangerous biomes full of dangerous creatures, I doubt was created during the golden age. The Arrival would mean the Arrival at the destination of the planet, hence why the Arrival Protocol takes us out of the Simulation. However, even if it was all done during the Golden Age (which I doubt,) would that change the meaning of the Arrival? The way I see it, it's quite simple. What else could the Arrival be? A colony ship is traveling to a planet, The Arrival Protocol wakes you up. Why would you wake up on a colony ship if you aren't at your destination? The only reason is if there was some sort of emergency that required human intervention, and if they could foresee such a disaster coming from so long ago, surely they would've done something that would've stopped it from happening in the first place instead of such a roundabout route. Perhaps we also have differing ideas on what the Golden Age actually is. For me it refers to the time between when Element was first discovered and when either the war ended or Corruption hit dangerous levels, whichever came first.

    For the whole tek armor discussion, I'd like to remind everyone of the fact that Santiago reverse engineered the URE's tek suits, so the Feds had the same type of tek suits as the URE tek suits back when the URE and Feddies were at war and both still on Earth. During construction of the colony ships and Ark and what not to avoid extinction at the hands of the Corruption, or before then, after the Feddies were driven off Earth by the URE (I predict these did not happen far apart from eachother,) the Feddies designed this new suit. This suit was designed specifically with space travel and in mind, and was likely built to both help survive in space, and on unknown, strange planets against unpredictable challenges. Compare the design purposes of the new Fed suit to the purposes of the URE suit. They are much too different. It's like trying to compare a drill and a gun. You can't really compare them because they have entirely different reasons for being created. It wouldn't really be correct to call one suit better than the other, but you should call them different, with each being better for different tasks. That's my guess on it. Until we see what the new tek armor does I can't say for certain of course, but this is what I think.
  18. TinyHippo
    I'd also like to see that. From what I can tell, it looks like it goes at least a third of the way down, and I'd guess around halfway but it's hard to say for sure with the helmet in the way
  19. TinyHippo
    Yea we were just talking about that line, it looks like it opens up to a really big mouth. As for the shapeshifting part, I won't say that's not the case, but I think you're extrapolating too much here. Something can be cute, but if it starts killing people, (most) people would say it isn't cute anymore. It doesn't have to actually change its form to become not cute. I think it shoots its tongue out really fast or something and it hits like a bullet. I'm thinking like a frog grabbing a bug only instead of grabbing it the tongue just pierces right through the target and kills them. It would make for an interesting shoulder pet.
  20. TinyHippo
    Yea I'm kinda excited to see what the Feddie tek suit does and what changes were made to it. I find it interesting that they would take off the jetpack for a suit used in a space-fairing colony ship though. It just seems like a bad idea to me. Ooooh nice catch, I hadn't noticed that. that's a lot of mouth on such a little creature. I can't wait to see how it attacks.
  21. TinyHippo
    I just came here to post about this. Interesting little one. I wonder if it killed the human or if it's just admiring the work of something else-------- ACTUALLY It took me a bit to notice, maybe because I just woke up, but that's not just a decapitation. There's a hole on the helmet and the blood splatter there looks like a gunshot wound. But then, did the impact just knock the head clean off or did something come by to collect the head of a dead person? Is that what the little one did? Did the little one shoot its tongue out at ridiculous speeds to insta-headshot the human and then steal its head? Or maybe it fired a laser beam.
  22. TinyHippo
    Interesting idea. The element on this planet could be element in its natural form and coexists with the life on the planet. An amount of element could have then traveled to Earth by methods unknown which was then used by humans. The way we used it and everything else on Earth considered, it had to adapt into Corruption to ensure its safety. At first I was thinking that the element would be acting too radically different from how it's acted in the past for this idea to hold, but looking at Rockwell reveals that element definitely does do more than just Corruption, so it's definitely possible. I thought it over and actually agree a bit on the non-corrupted aliens possibility. Those straight lines connecting the different nodes of lights are too suspicious and heavily imply intelligent design was behind their creation. If we were in a colony ship, chances are that even if we are in a second colony ship, the first one didn't arrive long enough ago for people to build all that before we got there, which would mean aliens put it there before we had a chance to. As for the tentacles, the ones chasing (following? He doesn't look like he's running but that might just be part of the reference so I won't read into it) the player on the catwalk definitely look like Rockwell's. 100%. But tentacles aside, all that strange stuff growing on the A logo are something unlike anything we've seen before. No corruption or element has looked like that in the past. It reminds me of the zerg The reveal in november will be interesting for sure

    I hadn't noticed the thread got put back because it unsubscribed me, rip To destroy/corrupt them. Rockwell is power hungry and enjoys that kind of thing. That said, it's not somewhere he'd want to go while he was still putting together his army in the GenSim and had only just started corrupting the real-life humans on the ship. Two possible reasons: 1. The ship was sent to a planet that was deemed probably habitable while looking at it from Earth, and was sent there. No one on Earth was aware of the danger actually present on the destination planet. 2. This was a second colony ship and a ship came before them to that same planet. The ship we are on was following the first which was already set up on the planet. Aliens/corruption reached the first ship before we got there. Basically, it could have easily looked safe years ago when the ships left Earth, but a lot can change during long term space travel. All that said, I don't think it's aliens either. At least not normal uncorrupted, sapient aliens. I could get behind corrupted aliens. Whatever is there is obviously hostile due to corruption. If it is corrupted, I think it's safe to say that whatever is on the planet is not Rockwell, perhaps the origin point for the original Corruption or just something else entirely. Regardless, it'd likely be hostile to everything on the ship, including Rockwell. It might be a kind of juggle for us choosing to deal with either Rockwell on the colony ship or Natives on the planet (I'm giving this temporary name to whatever the hell we find currently living on the planet since no one really knows for sure what it is yet) Also, please take a closer look at the A in the newest picture. Whatever that stuff is, it does not at all look like anything we've seen on Earth. Even if it is corrupted, it's clearly something entirely different from whatever we've dealt with before.

    Someone probably just wanted to give a name and get a page template ready for the creature in the teaser pic and has dubbed it Strider and left the page empty. Basically a placeholder page
  25. TinyHippo
    You're talking about the unidentified thing in the teaser picture? 'Cuz I'm assuming you are. An interesting idea, but I think I'd need more than just that to assume that you're right on this. I'm sure Rockwell would love to do such a thing and turn his enemies into minions but he'd have to capture Mei first, who last we heard of was at AP with Diana and Helena Deus. We do know though that AP connects to the Colony Ship, so maybe Mei did go there, maybe Mei is the enemy that Rockwell was gearing up to fight, Corruption seems like a great way to """tame""" creatures if you're at the head of it... But that's just throwing ideas out Well, we know Mei will be there, but it's hard to say for now what she'll do. But I think we can't throw specifics out yet. As for the video, there were a lot of parts I didn't like about it, especially where he clips out of the map to cheat information that's a toss up of whether or not it should even be considered because it might've been nothing because you were never supposed to see it. BUT It did make me notice something 100% unrelated. Remember that Deus Prep artifact thing that Mei and Helena found, well I found something that matches its color The final ring glows in a color that matches the description given by Mei about the artifact, making it the only element energy color we've seen so far that matches. Very interesting, blue, red, green, and purple were all pretty standard colors for element so far, but that last ring stood out as a strange color, but I hadn't made the connection until recently that it's the same color as the Deus artifact. Very interesting, the purpose of the golden ring here was to teleport us a great distance down to Earth, presumably a much more difficult task than teleporting across very nearby Arks. The purpose of the Artifact was to change Helene into Deus and I can't believe I never noticed this one before, but the whole Tomb of Ascension had the golden light according to Mei while Helena was using it. Looking at it now it seems to be a high energy element output similar or even above purple element we see, but also much more controlled, very interesting, although I can't make much out of this information yet since we only have three sources of this element type so far
