i didn't say they could jump from ANYwhere to ANYwhere, i meant that they might be able to use living, dying and dead nodes to enter subspace.

As the Admiral of the GTD Aquitaine said, the Shivans possess advanced subspace technologies.

So, i think as long as there WAS a node, they can use it, even if it is or dying or living.

However, I still don't get where the Sathanes went at the end of FS2, as an intra-system jump would not take you away from a nova. Maybe they jumped to a jump node outlying Capella and then double-jumped through the jump node back to Shivan-controlled space (try saying that 3 times fast!) or perhaps they can go anywhere? Who knows?

i have just thought, we can't see the other side of our moon right???

There could be a massive alien fleet there and we'd never know it. :/

scary eh?

Nope, sorry. NASA operated a few discrete missions on the farside of the moon to implant tranmitters to search for deep-space "life." So far, nothing.

But that'd be cool if there was even one huge Sathanas or even a Lucy on the far side of the moon. (goes away and thinks about it...) er, maybe not...

No, what would be more dangerous than a Sathanas is a Dragon. We'd probably never shoot it down, and it would report back to the main Shivan fleet. Then we'd have the whole Shivan fleet, but no military in space.
