as for the other dude, I will, again, go back to my first reply and the chicken and human example, aka a mixing of semen and "egg" in whatever way, will not lead ot a fertilized egg, thus not starting a new life.

If species are rather close and compatable, you might have offspring, but they tend to be unable to reproduce (tigon, liger)

With Eldar and Human, ou do not have common ancestry or ay closeness whatsoever, thus eliminating natural offpring from the issue here.

Next Problem: Eldar are mentally and physiccally superior, they are stronger, faster, live longer (and the psychic potential..) and so on, why, from their point of view, would you intentionally hamper your offspring, especilly when you have so few of them...

From the xenophobic human civilisation: you already got your superhumans and rejuvenats and so on, no reason to start ging there for eldar "sourcecode" if you already have material that can do the same thing.

If a publication means nothing to you, you can always look it up, which was exactly why I mentioned rougue trader, so you could look it up, hich you chose to ignore...

Next up: you work within a set universe, want source material within the confines of said universe, hence you apply the sciene of that universe, said science states that interracial relationships do not happen (aside from tyranids). Aka you apply common sense to the issue at hand, look at the reasoning in the universe, look at the releases and combine the dots...

(or you use google with "black library" and "xenobiology" ... though that would require you to atually do some work.) 1. About this:  With Eldar and Human, ou do not have common ancestry or ay closeness whatsoever, thus eliminating natural offpring from the issue here.

No, it doesn't. the Eldar were (most likely, and thus it could be used as such by an author) genetically engineered by the Old Ones and even have more pairs of chromosomes than humans. It has also been mentioned that it is very possible for humans to have been altered by the Old Ones- leaving an author the option to make it so. I saw mentioned on FFG's site that the Eldar had a 5 statge reproduction cycle to produce a zygote, thus leaving an author the option to say that, because the Old Ones made it so, the first of the 5 stages produces a zygote that is compatible with humans because the Old Ones engineered humans that way. Wow, suddenly that bit about needing to be closely related was swept away with the stroke of a pen.

2. About this:  Next Problem: Eldar are mentally and physiccally superior, they are stronger, faster, live longer (and the psychic potential..) and so on, why, from their point of view, would you intentionally hamper your offspring, especilly when you have so few of them...

Why? Because they wouldn't be their offspring, they would be a tool. Because the Farseers of a particular craftworld determined that doing so would set in process a chain of events to aid in the survival of their race/craftworld, help bring revenge upon an enemy, or lead to a chain of events that would be damaging to Chaos- these not being mutually exclusive. Or, maybe it was from a captured specimen and the Eldar had no say in the matter.

Wow, stroke of a pen and all...

3. About this:  From the xenophobic human civilisation: you already got your superhumans and rejuvenats and so on, no reason to start ging there for eldar "sourcecode" if you already have material that can do the same thing.

Reason to go there: trying something different may lead to different results and make something better. Genetors might be looking for an edge or may be just effing crazy.

Wow, stroke of a pen and all.

4. Re:  If a publication means nothing to you, you can always look it up, which was exactly why I mentioned rougue trader, so you could look it up, hich you chose to ignore...

No, I didn't ignore it. I didn't realize you were referring to a publication because you left out the caps in Rogue Trader- no quotes, italics, or otherwise either. I later found the mention of a half-breed that was retconned out of existence- such a character would not have been accepted to the positions it was accepted to. But, removing it did not answer the question of potential, but rather that this one didn't happen.

5. Re:  Next up: you work within a set universe, want source material within the confines of said universe, hence you apply the sciene of that universe, said science states that interracial relationships do not happen (aside from tyranids).

No, I don't care about interracial relationships but rather about interracial breeding potential. I have seen nothing anywhere that states otherwise except for your conclusions that have been erroneously drawn from the information you have presented. Again, I don't care about your "common sense" or your "conclusions" but rather statements that explicitly address inter-breeding. Why? Because if the statements don't explicitly deny it (usually left ambiguous intentionally), they can be worked around with the stroke of a pen without violating the science of a setting.

That is all for now.
