CREATING THE SPY FACTION, PART 3: SPECIES MORPHOLOGY

Hard to choose here for me... But arachnid, nope. We have somes heroes who are "near" arachnid forms. And not sure it's good.

I'm in love with parasite and wraith... It will be wraith for me

I think incorporeal forms make the most sense for surviving the endless and make for a fun amd unique playstyle, wraiths sound good. Parasite would be cool but feel they would be a bit too similar to the cravers in terms of leaching on others.

Parasites light my imagination up. I know some people were speculating on something like the Goa'uld or Genestealer cults, but the idea of an alien spy faction has been making me think of the Yeerks for weeks now. For those who haven't read the Animorph YA fiction series, the Yeerks were a race of slugs that slithered through your ear and took direct control of your brain. They kept the hosts acting as normal as usual while they infilitrated entire planets. There's a lot of potential for a parasitic species of Body Snatchers and I want to see what Amplitude's writers can do with the idea.

Wraith is the mots interessing for me

Parasite?
Inspired by Plague Inc: Evolved ?

Ok. now all choices seems VERY cool. Nice job devs! :)

I voted wraith cuz i never saw A Ghost - kind of Major Faction before. Also i believe parasites, even cool, would be even scarier than Wraiths themselfs. and because of that, i prefer wraiths who are scary but not so scary after all xD i think cravers are already considered some sort of Planterary Parasities (or Galactical Parasites) in some way... aren't they simply a Pleague?

Yea auriga, but i think all choices are very scary. and thats what matters! :D

even by the fact we have some major races looking like spiders (cravers in this case) i think all choices are very cool to implement. they seem a lot of cool!

Ancient Arachnid species in-game would be pretty cool also :O

As cool as parasite would be, I'm assuming that as parasites they'd have some sort of 'leech' mechanic, which is too similar to the Vodyani's Essence Leech and the Cravers 'parasitcal bug', 'consumes-everything' mechanics/gameplay styles; also reminds me too much of the Flood and/or other popular sci-fi/fantasy parasitical species. 

Arachnid just doesn't seem to fit the theme of an Ancient Alien Race that either predates the Endless civilization or was able to survive the time of the Endless to "today".

So my vote goes towards wraiths. 

This is because it makes sense for an incorporeal life form to be able to predate or surivive since the Endless civilization, it could easily explore the Virtual Dust or Soul mechanics and expand that part of the lore OR have it's own form of 'Virtualness' which would be an interesting and new mechanic in how the population reproduces. Also I love the look of the incororeal and virtual forms that Amplitude has created and it would be amazing to see what else they could do. 

And who wouldn't want a faction that can phase through matter (it'd also work great with possible newer modules like possible cloaking devices, phase-matter shifters, etc) and then a spy-quest since as an Ancient civilization, they would have watched and possibly been heavily involved in galatic politics and other fledgling civilizations. Also it'd be interesting to see how a wraith civilization functions and then relates to the Lost. 

Lastly, most of the time we see 'Wraiths' in pop-culture, science fiction, and fantasy, unlike parasites, they seldom hold what one could consider a "major faction" role, neither being the central antagonist, nor being their own civilization (often they're the 'leftovers' of previous civilizations) so I'd love to see Amplitude flesh out a wraith civ. 

bring me Space Ghost

I am going to reiterate my idea for this faction: shapeshifters, with organic ships that can change shape to mimic any other faction. Ghostly forms would be great for changing shape, or maybe even just cloaking and becoming invisible. Thus why I voted Wraith.

Parasite was what I was thinking all along. Would love to see something like that. 

I voted for parasite, but I wouldn't mind wraith either.

For parasite, it would be cool if it is more of a cyber-virus race rather than a biological parasite perse, but in any case the faction will surely be unique and not overlapping with existing factions. 

I think parasite and wraith are most plausible.  I can't see a giant spider infiltrating our society.  Voted parasite, although I wonder how the hero art, etc. might be implemented.  Wraith would be pretty cool as well, and fits with some Endless Legend lore.
