Evidently you've never met me in-game.
I can assure you that your assumption is quite false, on three levels.

I never accused you of liking the monkeys.

I just (rightly) accused the monkeys of not belonging in Freelancer's RP, since they're only there as a (not particularly funny) joke anyways. I'd rather not see Discovery's RP become a (not particularly funny) joke.

I said I liked the Monkeys before that.


And yet the Robots have a place in Freelancer, as do many other elements.
Even Trent's humorous name for the Chancellor has been used to describe an entire Nomad caste.

Monkeys they may be, but they can be easily justified with some sensible RP.
And I have just that in my head, it would just take me a bit of time to write it.


Don't be quick to discount something just because you're a racist bigot and think monkeys are inherently funny.

(This last sentence was written in a humorous tone. Do not take offense.)

This I did not know.

Easily justified? How do you easily justify intelligent monkeys running an entire planet in FL terms? (Do their class 1 guns shoot poo?)

That wouldn't make me racist. It would make me speciesist. I admit I'm speciesist. Blasted Nomads.;)

if we can travel faster than light and put 20 peoples on a starflyer we can have radiated monkeys. End of story.

My thought exactly, which is why I want to nuke 'em >:D

However, if that is too much for the moderators to deal with, then... well, it doesn't look like many people are actually trying to RP them. Again, I do not know modding to the fullest extent that I should to give any advice, but just tumbling around a potential idea O-o
-=-==-=-=-
Also, Kemira, what you speak of is a case of Acceptable Break From Reality, mainly the faster-than-lightspeed, as breaks from reality are usually needed to make games fun for a vast majority of players.

-edited out, since the below person clarified ^-^-

Monkey people, in FREELANCER, are not an acceptable break from reality, as it was thrown in as a joke and not for major gameplay reasons. If it was a seriousl addition, then that would be something. It was not, however!
[Note: no, monkey people are not 'inherently funny' and the joke was more of a "Hah, look at those crazy devleopers" moment. If the devs of the storyline want to add a more realistically made new race then fine, but I doubt they would be a ruling force in FL and who knows what cultural differences from humans that would exist!

Monkey RP: They were an attempt by the Nomads to grow their own home grown humans to make infiltration on the houses easier, unfortunately they missed a few million years of evolution in the DNA splicing and they dumped the failed test subjects onto the planet, where they grew and multiplied.


There.


EDIT@above: The original developers had nothing to with Digital Anvil or even Microsoft, since human cargo isn't vanilla, its a shortcoming on the disco devs part.

I believe a radiation or chemical that causes sever Hypertrichosis as a birth defect is both feasible and realistic in this science fiction setting.

There.

I don't think that would be any easier than capturing whole crews with important ranks and designations and using them instead or some such... though i'm not an expert on Nomads, so I can't say for sure T-T

Awh well, whatever the devs decide? XD

All my characters are mokeys, but i dont stop every ship in space and say:

-LOOK AT ME AM MONKEY!-:crazy:

Now seriouly Leave Kappa and the monkeys alone:angry:

In scientific rp we could say that the radiation in Omicron Kappa have produce mutation in the Zoner expedition crew offspring, making them look like chimps. If the cardi can modify DNA radiation too, and the humans share a lot of the genetic code with monkeys, if you are going to mutate in an animal must be some kind of chip its a question of probabilities. (look to a chimp fetus, its looks like a human fetus).

EDIT:i was joking up there
