Re: Shivans and such
#16Interesting point with regards to the ancients - the interview states that there could potentially have been Ancients in a future FreeSpace instalment, thus in turn suggesting that they weren't all destroyed by the Shivans, i.e. the Shivans didn't completely annihilate them 8000 years ago. There are multiple possible implication there - maybe the Shivans just glass the most critical worlds, and let a small number survive, or maybe a few Ancients escaped to another part of space? In either case, it suggests they're not in the business of methodically hunting down and exterminating entire species to the last surviving members. Possibly, all they're trying to do is either a) decrease the threat from the species or b) Stop their war/subspace use.
