Ya know, I've been looking around this web board, and it seems that the Voinians are not so popular, and not many people openly support them here. It think that this is wrong. The Voinians are cool! People always rant about how they kill innocent people... I say: so what? The Emalgha just suck and need to be smacked down, and all those other races the Voinians conquered were...er...ummmm...well, I can't think of a reason they needed to be killed but the point is that the Voinians are being hated on and it should stop!

Oh, and let it never be said that I am some sort of UE hater, I think that they are good too. Just don't hate on Voinians, so maybe at some point Lonevoinian will be less "Lone" in liking the Voinians.

According to the story told in EV:O, the Voinians are a very evil race. It's hard to dispute that. However, I still say thank goodnesss for the Voinians! Supporting the UE is a great string of missions which give you a real sense of achievement. If they'd just stayed at home and planted crops, you'd have nobody to fight... ever decalred war on the Miranu? Probably not.

So, the Voinians are nasty, but thank goodness they exist. Further, when you're bored of fighting for the UE, you can always pop in the ROTV plug, and experience a whole new side to EV:O.

Finally, people who say the Voinians suck are mistaken. Arguments along the lines of 'they lost all their secret weaponry when one of them defected', 'they get beaten by the Emalgha and the Hinwar' or 'their dreadnought is easy to destroy' fail to recognise that these things only happen because the player intervenes. If you play as a defector to the Voinian empire, they don't suck at all.

So, hate them? Maybe. But I'm glad they're in the game.

See what I'm talking about? This Hinwar fool here said that he hates the Voinians. That is EXACTLY what I am talking about. Please people, DONT HATE THE VOINIANS!

------------------
This is all soooo unimportant...

I'm pretty confident that without player intervention the Voinians would be winning the war. Think about the missions you get with the UE. Rescue defector, scan and then destroy the dreadnought. Convince Hinwar and Emalgha to team up on Voinians. You play a crucial part in the Voinians destruction. But, play for the Voinians and they have you deploy probes, and "distract" emalgha forces while the real battles reigns in another system. The most important mission you get from them is a mistake (destroy UE convoy which turns out to be warfleet).

I hate the Voinians, but if they did not exist in the game, who would I hate?

The reason people don't like the Voinians is because in EVO they are the bad guys.

Naw,really? Gee, I had no idea that the Voinians were the BAD GUYS! I thought that the evil aliens were the GOOD GUYS! You really clued me in on that one...I didn't know that! :rolleyes:

Honestly, do you think that I'm totally stupid or something?

George Bush is not dumb.

Anyway, about the Voinians...

I like the Voinians. Although I don't exactly HATE the UE, I do like the Voinians. Their ships are cool, and in the crescent even a Voinian Heavy Fighter rocks. Just think about what you could do with a Voinian Dreadnaught in the crescent. Wow. I'm thinking "blow up planet strength".

Anyway, Voinians actually aren't 'Bad'. I hate it when people say that the Voinians are 'Bad' or 'Evil'. We think of them of bad because we would never do what they did. However, it's all just part of their mind, instinct, and nature. The Voinians are born with a built-in desire to conquer and destroy other races. They can't stop doing this because their brains are programmed with the instinct to destroy and conquer.

In reality, they really aren't that bad.

Good point there, Carnotaur. In my post when I mentioned "evil aliens" I did not mean that I myselft hought of the Voinians as evil, but that the general consensus seems to be that they are evil, sadistic, and mean. Titan certaintly seemed to think so in his recent post on this topic.

Down with George Walker Bush! :mad: :mad:

This is all soooo unimportant...

George Bush is not dumb, just a poor misguided soul.

Anyway, I don't think that the Voinians are evil just more advanced humans. Come on, can you seriously imagine us turing into the UE. They are just so perfect. They let planets go without a fight, they have no corruption, and have more comradery than any country (I think, I cant really speak for any country other than the US) today that doesn't use religion to influence it.
