No it's about the fact that saying aliens can't be in starfield on the basis of realism is plain stupidity. You are clearly picking and choosing want you want in the game using realism as a poor excuse. If we can have FTL travel than on the basis of realism we sure as hell can have aliens. You trying to argue otherwise just highlights your lack of highschool level scientific literacy. If you don't want aliens then explain why from an artisitic standpoint, don't try to appeal to realism and then throw realism out the window for navigation.

There are tons of aliens. They are on most planets. In this context, it was referring to intelligent life.

You've lost this argument and just grasping at straws now lol. No where in this convo did I say aliens =/= intelligent life.

Why would I be arguing against aliens being in the game when there are already hundreds of them in the game? It’s obvious that what was meant was intelligent life.

You're trying to play semantic games because you lost the argument. We both know I meant intelligent life in this discussion but you're so bad faith you're hanging onto every word for dear life.
