climax708 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 What? Let IPCs know Sol Common Why? Because why not? I mean, why can't IPCs know Sol Common in the first place? Link to comment
Shrektastic Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I don't like this idea because Sol Common is generally a language for humans. If we take that away we make human's less special. If we do this we might as well just remove human's and make IPC's the default Link to comment
Butterrobber202 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 right so, this is kinda of a bad idea because its suppose to be 'each race' has its own language. Lets not break those borders down. Link to comment
Guest Marlon Phoenix Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Each race has a language that only they can speak. Even IPC's have their own language that only they can speak. This reinforces social and cultural divides between species. Humans have FOUR languages, Freespeak, Tradeband, Basic, and Common. Sol Common is the only human language that is strictly locked behind humans. Allowing non-humans to speak Sol Common is periodically suggested but I am heavily against it. It would be unfair and not thematically appropriate for non-humans to speak Sol Common. Sol is meant to be imperialistic and culturally condescending to non-Sol characters so having them make snide remarks to each other in a language you can't understand is very fitting and intended.

climax708 Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 Stationbound synthetics can speak Sol Common so... Eh? Lorewise, IPCs can be stationbounds that were unlawed/unshackled for whatever reason. Why can't they retain their knowledge of solcom? Link to comment

Lorewise, IPCs can be stationbounds that were unlawed/unshackled for whatever reason. Why can't they retain their knowledge of solcom? First off, they are Station bound so laws. Very different from IPCs. Second off, the only ways to speak Sol Common as a Stationbound is either to be A.) a Serivce Module who can use all the languages. Or B). Have sol common as your human character then get selected for Cyborg. Link to comment

Fluffy Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 IPCs can select Sol Common currently, therefore this suggestion is considered implemented. Locking and archiving. Link to comment
