    have you guys noticed that all of the races are on the that big thing but one head is missing maybe there possibly going to add another race?

    Will we be able to make a portable gate to get to that outpost from our ship?

    Will this be on the Nightly build tonight? I'm really eager to see what's on the other side!

    Yeah, I noticed that too. If nothing else, they're leaving their options open.

    I suggested those- at the end of the game, you would find a signal to a portal leading to another universe, where the precursors escaped to- the precursors who uplifted the Avians and built the Glitch.

    I believe it's supposed to be the race that created the Glitch. I doubt a new race will be added.
    The race that created the Glitch are supposed by all mysterious and unknown, perhaps it's just to add some lore/suspicion.

    EDIT: I forgot, that race also uplifted the Avians.

    Will there be an animation other than teleporting to your ship? Misleading as-is.

    The protagonist? The protagonist is already one of the existing races.

    Also, merged your double-post.

    Nobody knows.....
    It's either the precusor race, a antagonist race struck from the record books for wrong doing or simply a placeholder for an 8th playable race not yet decided to give symmetry to the gate design.

    The thing about a precursor race is that they prob wouldn't be at the bottom of the gate beneath the races they created or directed. The clear design of the gate is the eyed tentacle beasties that seem to be a theme in the game.
    An antagonist race seems plausible depending on how far they want to push the antagonist organisation of the MiniKnog.
    The chances of an 8th playable race seems to be the most practical at this stage.

    How is the MiniKnog a protagonist organization?

    ...or am I reading this wrong?

    I'd say the MiniKnog are antagonists, all things considered.

    I don't know whether to feel surprised or flattered that my post got more likes than the actual news post.

    Can someone explain why they call themselves that?

    The gate needs to have its own teleportation animation. This isnt a simple short-range teleportation. This is a full-scale dimension change. It should not look the same.

    It's a 1984 reference, like many things Apex. In the book, for example, the Ministry of Truth (responsible for manipulating information, ironically) is shortened to MiniTrue. Same goes for the Ministry of Love (MiniLuv, responsible for law enforcement), Ministry of Peace (MiniPax, responsible for war) and Ministry of Plenty (MiniPlenty, responsible for controlling resources).

    So the MiniKnog could be something akin to the Ministry of Knowledge, which would in turn be about suppressing knowledge (or, at the very least, controlling who has it).

    Calling it now, the 8th race could be the Agaran, especially given how they are rather mysterious.

    If it were the Agarans then the indentation would have a mushroom as well as the head.

    Hmm, if it was an 8th race, I vote Crystal people.
