So, we are having the old cetes (and possibly Sperm Whales!), the aquans, silvas and other hybrids...where are the genemodded cephlopods? I want deep-diving octopus buddies. I know somebody had stats for them years ago for 2e.
Seriously though, what other species/genemods would people like to see?

Hmmm, octopi smarter than your average rocket scientist are a bit of a visual trademark in Eclipse Phase, but I suppose there's nothing (apart from perhaps some GEO ethics charters) stopping you from playing with their genes.  |

I quickly checked and yeah, sea lions have their own sub-league in the Global Hydroshot League, as per Undercurrents #2.  |

I quickly checked and yeah, sea lions have their own sub-league in the Global Hydroshot League, as per Undercurrents #2. We included references to gene-lifted sealions in the 1st edition, but as we put together 2nd ed and I considered other uplifts, I realized how much the game would shift to focus on animal uplift if we included other species. As cool as that subject is, I wanted the focus to be elsewhere and so opted to have only cetaceans be the exceptional accident. And now, with Eclipse Phase being so awesome, I don't want to invade their turf. Like Pawel says however, add whatever you want to your versions of Poseidon! |
