We actually did spend quite a lot of time on this so I hope you're going to like the story we tell, even if in Dragon Commander story is told a bit differently than we usually do.
Obviously I don't want to spoil it for you, but I can tell you that Maxos is indeed one of those responsible for bringing technology to Rivellon & I can tell you that he regrets it heavily, so much in fact that at the beginning of the story he asks you to do everything you can to destroy it. There are some on your ship however who don't agree with that idea one bit...
A tad regressive, sounds as sordid as the Dark Age of Technology from Warhammer 40k. The idea of dropping the use of such ingenious techn is simply counter-intuitive to human nature. Probably why the season finale of Battlestar Galactica was so dismal....
Please inform me if I stunned anyone with my nerdiness yet.
By the by, do we have the option of forming an alternate ending that deviates substantially from the canon vanilla one which connects to the other games or does Dragon Commander have only one ending?
And I would like to say you guys are making a great looking game and I look forward to playing it
