You're fucked! These Shivan bastards will kill us all with their fancy spacecraft and shit!
Oh, and by the way, ChileanFuckFace, the Alien Attack idea would not work. You see, we have this little thing called "religion" and "politics."
If you want to see my point, play FreeSpace 1 and 2. I mention it all the time for a reason - It sums up all the bullshit in the universe, from genocide to corruption, and even religious fanatical terrorism, in two games. The third will hopefully be released before I die...
I actually thought the universe was a beautiful place until I beat the first one, and saw 8 BILLION CIVILIANS killed over NOTHING...Granted, they were Vasudans, but we almost lost the war at that point.
They died in a matter of hours.
Oh, and also, the concept of a Super Destroyer that is pretty much unbeatable until it is about to pummel Planet Earth is a scary one too...
The cutscenes explain it all...Actually, I'm probobly going to upload them later...
