But it's also "Oh look, life-giving water, just a bit further..."

You'd think that on a desert planet water would be critically important.

Instead of "Don't waste your breath!", you could have "Don't waste the moisture!" or something along those lines.

And then there is the added fact that the water that does exist on Vasuda Prime is undrinkable.

True, I'd think that the expression could be used as both courageous as well as cynical. (and the translators can't really tell)

Having a few cases like that would be fun, since you don't know if the Vasudan thinks you da man, or a psycho

If you guys are looking for some expressions you can go back to the old Wing Commander Games- The Kilrathi had the same condescending manner towards the Terrans as the Vasudans do and they have some good expressions...





P.S.- good luck finding the first 3 games of that series....

I prefer the Typhon flatter design and the older style textures do look better I think. If only it has a few more turrets and better placing for such weapons.

I'd mod it but can't be bothered.

Anyway, wing commander might actually be a good place to look like suggested here above.

And regards to homeworld sayings, don't forget "kiiths blood!". It could pass, if you had the vasudan name for 'caste'.

Vasudan on Comm to Terran pilot: "Can you handle them?"
Terran: "No Sweat,"
Vadusan: "Impressive"
