The hybrid path
I read it somewhere that there are plans for 3 endings. A science ending, a magic ending, and a combined ending.
Now there's a science path and a magic path, but no combined path.
I'm just gonna throw some stuff around here not to litter with too many threads.

Mecha-wrym evolution. You've got a wrym and science stuff, so you have a mecha-wrym. Feed it to turn it into a mecha-cocoon, and upgrade its mechanical parts to get a baby mecha-dragon. But you can't evolve it in the dragon cave because it's hybrid stuff. So magic and science will have to come together to make a hybrid cave. You'll need dragonblood and science materials to get the young mecha-dragon. Then the fire gem and more science related items to create the adult mecha-dragon. An evolution gem and science stuff to get the elder mecha-dragon. You have to activate the dragon shipyard as well as possess the space shipyard blueprints so that a hybrid construct can be made (maybe an upgrade for the hybrid cave?), where you can make the hybrid ship. I'm not talking about an absolute combination, just some of both worlds. It shouldn't be op, but it should beat the other paths since you need both to have it. Otherwise it doesn't make much sense.

How about armor? The dragon armor combined with the cyborg body parts? The space suit and some... elder dragon scales? And you would have to feed the elder dragon evolution shards to get scales. Or something like that. Or maybe just high-tech parts plus scales?

In order to avoid the necessity of double building bases, i would love hybrid structures, that combine similar functions. In same cases, it would be purely aesthetic, but it would still be a symbolic nice touch.
Of course one can just set up teleporters to move around the bases quickly. (Especially since they work between planets too.) You'll only need one of most buildings that way. But a hybrid base would be so cool.

I think that if the combined ending is some last minute get together for the final battle, then it would be rather underwhelming. And there have only been a few cases when science and magic came together. (I can think of the peaceful confrontation with the Mirrows.) It just makes me worried.

EDIT: Oh, i forgot the most important part: What do you guys think about hybrid tech / hybrid path?

Right now, we're focusing on the science and magic path to the end - which is why (other than a few minor things), there isn't a hybrid path at all. But, we do have plans for the hybrid path, and those plans will be more than just a last minute thing in the final battle. Cyborg dragons and hybrid structures are definitely on my want to add list.

Awesome! Thank you for your reply.
