Kha'ak and Xenon
Hey there guys, I'm wondering, are there actually any in-game shots of what the Kha'ak or Xenon look like? (although I would imagine that Xenon are just microchips or something, you wouldn't know until you looked though )

There is an image of a Kha'ak (or rather it's(?) face) but I've never seen one for a Xenon.

This is also an unlockable gamestart in X3:R, just don't ask me what the pre reqs are.

Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.

And technically, the Xenon have no real form, being just an embedded AI software construct. So this is probably as good a representation as any other.

Say, I thought that Kha'ak start (and thus the image) was fan-made. I guess we know now where the Xenon G has been last.
If you look at the bottom of this map, there's a cool pic for a Kha'ak person; although it's obviously some other race from another franchise, I like it.Markhor wrote:as for Kha'ak, there's almost no feature to it. All I see is a green and black blob..? thought Kha'ak were insectoid, not amorphous

Somehow I doubt an AI cares what it's gender is.......it's not like it's going to get any anyways.
Nyax's galaxy map for TC, that map was a nice piece of work (though it's not finished). Funny how the Xenon is just an electronic eye.If you look at the bottom of this map, there's a cool pic for a Kha'ak person; although it's obviously some other race from another franchise, I like it.

As far as I could tell, the Xenon are formless. I like to think the Kha'ak are similar, though perhaps more arcane and terrifying. A race like Clarke's Firstborn, having transcended "life" and become some kind of metamaterial themselves, embedded in pyramid lattices that are assembled into starships...
Or perhaps they're just mean bug critters. Not as fun.

...So, what really happens when you fight the Xenon and receive the following message:
"Unknown object has left it's ship, and is now belong to you"?
Xenon are just software. More likely a software package on a quantum cpu. And they're networked to each other.
What would one of my profesors from the AI division say: "To seee naaamaa neeebi sviiidjeeelooo" (Thaaat wouuld beee baaad fooor uuus) ... guy stals words. It takes him five seconds to say OK.
Speaking of AI do you guys know that certain software was responsible for some mathematical proofs? It actullay found a way to prove something that humans couldn't think of. And this happened more than once. In some casese the human authors of the book listed the software as the author.
The Kha'ak are, from what I understad, partialy based on Shadows from the Babylon 5 universe. A powerful insectoid race that just appeared from nowhere and starts blowing everything they don't like to hell.
And that corvette really looks like shadow battle crab. So yeah... they're ugly, bugish and don't like you. And much like Ahmed the dead terrorist they kill you!
