MorteNexus13 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 https://i.imgur.com/kAYYniL.png I don't know if DE did it on purpose or if it's just a foreshadowing, but it doesn't enter my head as it's that one of its parts is on a Corpus Ship, not to mention that we see it in action only in Jupiter, watching Alad V.

Lazarow Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I wouldnt go knocking my head for lore reasons of this, some level designer probobly thought it looked cool so they added it. Maybe its a hint of something but we would likely find out in a few years when teh story is done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla_Reloaded Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Lore-wise it could be explained as an attempt of Corpus to salvage the remains of Ropalolyst and to study them. But most likely devs wanted to show Corpus researching some Sentient technology, but didn't want to make a new 3D model just for that and used something that the game already had.

RazerXPrime Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 DE likes to re-use in game resources to create something else. It's likely not a reference, but just used for aestetic purposes. If you hadn't pointed it out I wouldn't even have known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loza03 Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 It's likely that 'the' is a slight misnomer - it's the only remaining active one, but presumably there were others in the past that got destroyed. Parvos is known to want to do something about the Sentients, so he dug up an old piece of one, which happened to be a Ropalolyst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyori Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 It is not properly placed in the map, as there are lots of clippings of the 3D meshes and that lead me to think it is not purposely placed there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be a bug. In one of the corpus maps there's this creature hovering through the floor of the extraction area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a Nightwave landing ship, it wobbles too much, and clips through the floor because of that, most likely will be fixed after HoD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukinu_u Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 There are definitely multiple Ropalolyst, so this is just the remain of a dead one, which make sense we know Corpus exeriment a lot with sentient technology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AltheusVI Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Alad-Vs' latest research project, now that we've got him out of his disasterous deal there is Sentient tech lying about, he knows how to make amalgams, maybe he's working on Amalgams 2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(XBOX)EternalDrk Mako Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 given ropalyst generates energy its more then likely the sacrifice natah was speaking of its death. so that others may live given that sentient are barren due to void travel, using the amalgams as a sort of suragate growth for new sentient parts/children. this is seens when you go to railajck sentient ships and see amalgams in black goo being broken down in the bio ponds and reform to make new sentient units Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0_The_F00l Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 I would say it is foreshadowing/ consequence highlighting. There are quite a few things that tell of past actions and future events yet to unfold ( railjack fighters will be very boxy) Not like the corpus to leave a potential source of information and thus profit back either.

Aldrr Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Although we do fight one at Jupiter, the Ropalolyst is not a one-of-a-kind design. 🙂 What we can sometimes see in the spy vaults is likely wreckage the Corpus recovered from somewhere else.
