Rubble of the First Spawn

[GreenTeaTexas]

Does anyone know what this gigantic space structure called the Rubble of the First Spawn do? Or is it just eye-candy for curious travellers?

[dphipps3]

yep, saw that one, couldn't get anything to happen, but (normal?) pirates attacked me.

[Monstervillia]

yups i see that one is frickin huge

[Dr_Respectfilled]

I just saw it, and I will find it again

Eye candy. A few do drop rewards of some sort.

Just eye candy. One of the random things you can find while pulsing. It doesn't do anything.

[Unlucky]

Some of the random pulse interactions do nothing (as of this time) but add some polish being references to the game lore.

In this case it is because the First Spawn were once rulers over much of the Galaxy, by force... and believed that they were superior to all other lifeforms. So what would creatures like that probably do? If building giant monuments to themselves (in space) isn't on your list of things then you didn't really pay much attention to your history classes. lol

Like Statues to Columbus or Civil War era soldiers or whomever else, they "do" absolutely nothing but support people whose ideology is broken and founded in nonsense beliefs.

How did you get from fun flavorful things to find in NMS to US Politics?.. Holy crap what a leap.

Did you read what I said? I explained very clearly that they held the same ideologies, of being superior to everyone else. Which is really undeniable if you look at early US history at all.... genocide of the native population, slavery, large support for Nazi Germany prior to WW2, etc. These things are written and documented historical facts.

But, again.... I already explained this and as also explained.... if you didn't see the relationship here it's because you didn't pay any attention in your history classes in school.

So unless you're either ignorant of the past or just outright denying it.... you should not see any "leap" here. It is practically a 1:1 example. *shrug*

To be fair, using impressive monuments and statuary as a projection of authority, power, and influence is normal practice regardless of whether the beliefs behind that authority are 'nonsense' or the ideology is 'broken'. You'd be hard-pressed to find ANY authority on the planet that isn't using this technique.

So you inserted that bit of personal agenda into your statement. Which, I'm pretty sure, is his point in questioning it.

Politics ruins everything.

It feels like I am seeing a Thanksgiving Day argument at my extended family's house....

I'd say you're hard pressed to find any culture from all of history capable of stacking rocks in top of each other that is not guilty of this to some degree.

Waiting for mods to lock this thread.

While I don't disagree at all with your general thesis here, I do feel obligated to point out that ... is an ellipsis not a period or a comma. My inner obnoxious grammarian was triggered. You can only atone for this by correctly using an Oxford comma in a sentence.

Exactly. Need a hug, Unlucky?

In "The Pioneers" expedition, (seasons 1 and 5 if you're keeping track), this relic is one of the possible choices to tick up your "find 5 deep-space anomalies" milestone. This is so far the only use I've found for it other than providing evidence that the galaxy is/was much more inhabited than the dinky outposts I keep finding would suggest.

It was a little odd earlier tonight being actually happy to find this object. Normally, I'm bummed out that I got this result instead of something I actually wanted.
