Oh nice. Say, what is that hole in the middle of the picture?
edit: adneate, you've got a point. I suppose the environment is what has the biggest impact on you or your species

I think it's like an underground building complex thing...

That didn't make alot of since, did it?
I meant like where Asari live underground or something like this (I can tell by the lights that these are like apartments)..

[aletto]

Hm, but who would live like that by choice?

PS this thread is like a harbor of peace compared to the multiplayer forum. thank you, I really appreciate it.

[Arcataye]

I would imagine that's where the less fortunate population live. Rich people get the scenery.

[aletto]

Yeah right. In the middle of a rich district.
Come to think of it, if the asari live so long, shouldn't they have much life savings? Even if the maidens spent everything they earn, an established asari family should be quite rich.

Multiplayer forums are emblematic of why I don’t play multiplayer games except with a very select group.

It would be interesting to see how Thessia would look like at night-time. Now that the asari have infrastructure and lighting it shouldn't be a problem for them, but it could still be different than night-time on Earth. Another planet in the system could act as somewhat of a substitute as the brightest spot on the sky instead of a moon.

I would imagine the night sky over Thessia would be beautiful in places where you were away from urban sprawl and there was little or no light pollution.

While I was in the Marines we would occasionally train at the Pohakuloa Training Area on the Big Island of Hawaii. PTA lies between the volcanos Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea, and is right below the observatory on Mauna Kea. It is one of the darkest places in the United States and on clear, moonless nights you often had stunning views of one of the great spiral arms of the Milky Way in the night sky. It was sometimes so bright that it would cast shadows on the ground. Being born and raised in a city where you are lucky to see maybe a dozen stars in the sky on a clear night, it was pretty awe-inspiring.

The view of the Milky Way from Mauna Kea:














I imagine the night sky on Thessia would look similar in dark places away from the cities, though of course they'd either be looking at a different arm or the same one from a different angle.

Wow. Simply beautiful.

[aletto]

wow... that view. I live in a city (Berlin).
I can see the moon. stars? only occasionally...

They say that the most beautiful view of the start is seen from Scandinavian places like Finald or Norway..

yeah the maiden state ends usually at the 350 year mark, even if they spent all in that time they have 650 years to get rich

Hm, I suppose asari are a bit more... long-term orientated. Then again, so should be krogans. Organic life is chaotic, but that's what makes us fun ^^
(why am I in such a good mood now? strange...)

Good mood is good!

If you can, get a nice little telescope and get out into the sticks; you probably want to be at least 50 km from nearest town, the more the better.

 

You know, I think I might do that. Getting away from any towns shouldn't be a problem. I live in Sweden you see.

I should probably look up more.

[Aristobulus500]

That hole in the middle of the water is probably just related to some business or something. We do that same thing with our man made dams and stuff like that. I forget the term for it...but you can find pictures of holes like that in our own dams. I forget what purpose they serve.

Maybe. If you dare to venture beyond The Wall, to the deep cold north where there are no light to keep a man safe...

Haha... I think that it is also said that there is a specific place in Finland that it's 50% of the year is daylight and 50% is night.. am I right?
Oh but we're getting really off topic now, which is Liara

While I have no idea if it is the most beautiful, I live in Denmark and even though I live in a city (though near the edge) the stars are instantly visible on cloudless nights.

Even though I don't do it often it is quite spectacular if you go out on a field or in a forest aread and simply stare up into the clear night sky.

Well by most beautiful I meant that you see alot of stars and they are very visiable, and you also see the moon slightly bigger, and there's that thing called the Northen Light (It's a translation from my language so I don't really know how to say it it english)..

Not a pleasant theory, but there might be a possibility that many asari don't live to see their matriarch stage, hence one of the reasons why they're so venerated. I mean, many maidens make their way into the world as mercenaries. There's an increased rate of death right there. Others just come by it through chance or bad choices. Besides, just because you have years to gain money doesn't mean you know how to keep it or make it into a fortune.

Yeah, you're right, and it is disappointing. But my guess is that's what they did - pasted Asari buildings onto a background of human buildings, rather than designing more Asari buildings.

While our moon stabilizes our axis and prevents wild shifts in seasons, and also slows the spin of the Earth so that we have longer days and less violent winds, it is hard to say what effect the lack of a moon would have on Thessia. We don't know enough about Thessia and how it is interacting with its parent star or sister planets. I'd guess though that it has a stable axis, since intelligent life was able to develop there. It would be harder to imagine that happening if the planet had wild shifts in seasons or frequent ice ages.

Before the Asari developed electricity nights on the planets must have been extremely dark without moonlight. With that in mind, perhaps they have better night vision than humans do.

I guess that the lack of moon could affect Thessia differently than Earth. Seeing as how the asari do survive without apparent problems and are said to be the most developed race, not having a moon has seemingly not prevented or hindered them from advancing. It would be interesting to see how Thessia would look like at night-time. Now that the asari have infrastructure and lighting it shouldn't be a problem for them, but it could still be different than night-time on Earth. Another planet in the system could act as somewhat of a substitute as the brightest spot on the sky instead of a moon.

Edit: And I like the fact that the asari might have adapted to darker environment. That could be one more distinct feature of their species. 

the seasons are affected by the rotational axis of the planet, not the moon. second thing is the moon should be destabilizing the planet (just a tiny bit)
Are there more concept art works of Thessia? Just curious

edit: well, thessia has a high average temperature, so maybe it's similar to illium, the equator is simply too hot to be inhabited

Yes, again, the seasons are affected by the moon, because it affects the rotational axis. Their connected. And explain how the moon would destabliize the planet? I dont understand those physics.

Edit: Or perhaps you mean the "side to side" movement as the object is tugged by gravity...yes I suppose that can be described as destabilizing. I was thinking rotation.

Also the rotational speed is affect just as Han stated. The effect is the same thing as a when an ice skater pulls their arms inward, and they spin faster. As our moon drifts away our planet will spin slower, and vise versa. Forgot that part.

Yeah, and also, the size of the "small" buildings compared to the size of the big Asari buildings is not proportional. They should have made the "Human" buildings bigger or the Asari buildings smaller.

[lillitheris]

What-if, no moon.

This assumes the planet is Earth, of course, so it can‘t be directly generalized.

[Ajosraa]

Humm..quite interesting read their Iillitheris ty:)

Could then the Sun of Thessia act to stabilize similar to how a moon function? humm

And Im assuming that traviling around the Thessian Sun has similar effects on the Planet Thessia as to what our planet does to the moon as described in that article.

Humm..So if Thessa were to rotate at a slow enough rate to sustain life...that must mean its either an older planet then earth...Or forces from Thessia's sun are different...But might still work with no moon.
