III seems to be the most dwarven and therefore kerbal of locations.

[Nirur Torir]

I we knew anything about the natives, and they were non-hostile, I'd certainly go with II.

Can we get a sense of the natives' likely response to Kerbals falling from the sky? It's not like this is going to be a one-time occurrence around here.

Nope. Your scanning instruments are limited to telescopes.

*Do we have a night view of the cities? At least we can know if they can into space in 20 years or not.

III for our safety.

The settlements have limited lights at night. After much discussion, the crew decides that they're probably not electric, but definitely aren't open fires. They're in every major city, but some of the smaller settlements don't have them.

These aliens should already be in space, judging by their infrastructure and how many cities they have. That they aren't is worrisome.

. . . . . .  Something makes me extremely un-at-ease with the fact that they arnt using electricity. . . . . .  we may want to. . . . . . see what they look like. But thats just me. . . . I have a feeling that this may be a ruin. . . . or close to it.

can you squeeze in another kerbal? otherwise consider this a ptw

Let's go ahead and land at III. I they are friendly enough that landing at one of the other spots would have ben safe, then they are friendly enough that trade with them will be beneficial (probably, then again - our aliens are diferent?)

((Hmm. I suppose if your telescopes can get mineral quality, then you really should be able to see what the aliens look like.

I'm still deciding on the exact form. I want to try centauroids, for some variety.))

Sorry, but six is the limit of what I can GM for this.

[Askot Bokbondeler]

s'ok . ptw, then

Centauroids? nuuuuuuuuh. Six limbed tripedals with eyestalks between the pairs of limbs.

[Shadestyle]

Dang, now i have to replay every spore game I own 17 times.

[The Froggy Ninja]

What about a species that has a single spherical organ centered in their cubic body that run on internal combustion instead of regular food.

[Eric Blank]

We run on internal combustion. Your mitochondria are oxidizing hydrocarbons to get hydrogen ions that flow through their molecular turbines and charge your ATP batteries RIGHT NOW. You even emit CO₂ as a byproduct!

Aliens which lack differentiated tissues or an internal body cavity GO!

Not really. Modern prospecting depends heavily on remote sensing.

[Ozarck]

and our telescopes can get a look at us from space too, so ... maybe?

Probably gas lighting. Early Industrial revolution technology, existed for about 70 years before electric lighting became reliable.

[MarcAFK]

They might be using radioactive elements as lighting, or perhaps magma. :p
