Ahem.
That's not from SC2 at all. Read the manuals and play SC1/SC2/UQM. It's not there. It is is SC3, but that's not what I said, and SC3 is a piece of $^#* where SC plot is concerned.

Yeah, but i do not believe that an intelligent Spaceship would need crew, which could jump out of windows, docking-bays, doors, chimneys, ...
And why would anyone want to serve on board of another races ship? I never would, especially if i do not know much about them, even more if it is war and i do not know how they react during battle.
I once met a Druuge ship in space where some of my former crewmembers were asigned to. Strangely enough my former crewwoman Hooter said she does not like serving a Druuge, neither being treated as slave nor did she know how the others are since her ship had a fight against one of the probes. She said she hasn't seen anyone of them, although the probe did not hit the Mauler.
That just supported my view of not serving other people.
I went to buy as many shiny new maulers as i could afford to see if i could re-recruit some of my former members. But I've been told by one of the Druuge-captains that all died during combat with these nasty probes hailing something about peace....

guesst, any arguments in favour of your theory, or do we just bury it here?
Hey, it's up to you. Honestly, I'm just enjoying the conversation.
Personally, I like the idea that, since unrelated biological's have similar make-ups for no particular reason, there's no reason that mechanical's can't have equilly similar make-ups and be unrelated. I mean, what works, works, independent of where they were made. If for mechanicals the main control unit (or pilot in the Mmrnmhrm's case) with 2 units on either side works, I shouldn't be surprised to see most mechanicals adopting that, should I.
Then again, what if my original theory is right and the Probes and Mmrnmhrm are related? Who'd be they're 'daddy' and where'd the Melnorme get this Mmrnmhrm cousin from?

Mmrnmhrm

They can be related, even if you cannot compare them. As you said, we do not know from where the Melnorme got the blueprints. Therefor the probes may be modeled after the Mmrnmhrm.
Another thing: The probes can self-replicate, the Mmrnmhrm not. In this they resemble more the Daktaklakpak, although the Daks arfe half chrystaline (at leasst it appears so to me).
But as said, we do not know....
BTW: Did the Motherark have intellingence? Did she gave birth to the Mmrnmhrm as a willing mother or was she just a programmed intergalactic manufacturing robot?

We did. You did. Yes we can. No.

The general consensus around here is that SC3 is basically corporate-sponsored fanfiction in the form of a video game. PR3 and FF did not write or endorse the story, so it isn't even canon for TFB.
Since we are beings of choice, it is quite possible and reasonable to dismiss SC3 as crud.
This is where Timewarp steps in. Timewarp is a project which is attempting to write a replacement for SC3 - they are attempting to 'turn back the clock' as it were.
(edit: a little less strident)
