' Wrote:I don't know, I think the extended intro has more to do with the events of the campaign than the short intro does. I mean, the short intro talks about this war that took place 800 years ago and sets the stage for why we're in the Sirius sector, but it ends with that "but we will never forget" line that always confused me, given that it certainly seemed like everyone in Sirius has forgotten about the Coalition/Alliance war.
At least with the extended intro, it introduces the bad guys who show up in the campaign, although their reason for being at Earth (given that they were supposed to be a "trap" in the Sirius sector, I thought) isn't really given.
Thing is though, in the extended intro Atticus Rockford escapes Sol alive and somehow gets himself his own personal sleeper ship after the entire solar system has been wiped out, and flies to Sirius to warn the colonists of the impending danger of an alien race last sighted 500 light years away from the Sirius sector.
The human race kinda remembers things like their entire system of origin being completely wiped from existance... so how is it no one in Sirius knows of the existance of Nomads until they were uncovered some 700 odd years after settlement?
I just doesn't make sense. The extended intro creates plot holes. No one saw the Nomads coming, none of the governments had any sort of precautions, knowledge or contingency plans regarding a sudden Nomad invasion.
Atticus also says "we will never forget" in the extended intro, as well. But he refers to the Nomads destroying Sol. Then we go and get blind sided by the Nomads.
See the plot hole? Any one?
If you answered no, then congratulations you probably deserve a place on the plot development team for discovery. Go forth and develop many nonsensical plot lines.
