Re: Tycho Brahe
Wow... that would be much worse than merely falling into the sun.
Makes me wonder... was Dravis actually trying to kill the MD, or just trying to get him someplace safer?

Re: Tycho Brahe
I always thought that Dravis was an interesting character in D1 and D2, but then they turned him into a cartoon villian in D3. He actually showed surprise and concern at the end of D2 when the MD's warp drive malfunctions, which he would have had no reason to feign. </offtopic>

Re: Tycho Brahe
Well Outrage/Parallax probably hadn't quite thought out D3 yet when they finished D2 - they did what made sense not knowing what would happen next.
I agree though, Dravis was kept quite mysterious (intentional I think) throughout D1 and D2 but in D3 they forced him into a one-dimensional, unremarkable villain - it wasn't only bad writing but his previous persona didn't fit, because the player would expect something more.
Descent Equinox did a better job I think (he was a complete sociopath wanting world domination - it's better than it sounds), but seeing as I haven't read the first 2 books (been looking for them since 2003 at least 
) I don't have any sense of how it compares.

Re: Tycho Brahe
Those books are much more entertaining than you'd expect from run-of-the-mill licensed works. I have a somewhat-beat-up copy of the first book, but I managed to get the second and third new.
Re: Tycho Brahe
The thing blew up a long time ago, isnt it just an expanding ball of left over gases and the light from the super nova remnant, possibly a neutron star?
Re: Tycho Brahe
The remnant is a white dwarf. It also has a companion star so it was a binary system. The small blue crescent on the lower left is a compression wave from the blast expanding over that star.

Re: Tycho Brahe
Thats one of the big mistakes the made concerning Descent3's Story..
Dravis wans't all that mysterious - or scary....
but the biggest mistake was showing the Material Defenders Face!
In D1 and D2 the story was taken from his.. (your) point of view. Never should have shown is face.
(Not to mention he looks like someone i could have walked all over if i met him in person).
