Illuminate Confirmed

[Samir Al Hyde]

The crew member right next to the ship upgrades mentions illuminate in the dialogue. The third front will open and Super Earth will be pushed back

[GatoMancer]

maybe, never played the first game,

I think it'd be more comical to have a little green alien faction that ragdolls you around the map with telekinesis

[Dracon]

I sure hope so, I never got to play the first one, but Ive read up on some things.

Im also pretty sure we will get vehicles and junk as they had in the first game apparently.

Lots of potential future content.

[BEEP!]

There's also a mention of the Illuminate in the news broadcast it's in small text so it's easy to miss so a strong hint has been there since day one.

[Eshtian]

While I am confident that they'll return, that doesn't confirm anything

A big empty spot in space mentioned multiple time's one which directly says,Rumors of Illuminate sightings are work if dissidence.

i dont want them in HD2 for real .. wheels chair peoples with shield was annoying and not fun at all..

[KZ]

The news cast day one had them on scrolling text. As if they wouldn't be coming.

[Eshtian]

Well the empty space was obvious, were talking about dialogue. Still fair enough.

Maybe OP should of had more detail than a "mention" however.

Illuminate invasion confirmed.

I'm kinda hoping that if/when they show up, it's more of as a spec ops unit. I didn't play the first, but I heard they were basically superior when it comes to tech. I like the idea of playing a bug mission (especially HD9) and having an Illuminate kill squad try to take us down.

At least for the first bit of the world encounters.

[Parzimav]

its already in the data, the question is ...when?

Many people, myself included, considered the Illuminate the harder of the three factions in the first game, and it was exactly because of their tech, They could one shot kill you from offscreen if you didn't move, but the shot was heavily telegraphed.

shouldn't it be illuminati ?
