Others have claimed they would lose all limbs, because not needed in space.
What?
much of our technology has required burning things. This is how power was create and elements isolated and such. washing in liquids becomes problematic to. I mean I don't see why limbs are not needed to engage in controls. I guess over very long times you could lose the legs but only if generations were born and raised in space for a very long time. Its still and advantage to have them working for locomotion just not as much of one. Of course that gets into the species not really evolving once they reach a certain technological level and can compensate for deficiencies. Its about evolving to a level to get to certain tech level.
That is from our land loving species perspectives.
fair enough but its not like its hur dur. air breathers da best breathers. Which ironically some of the most advanced marine species surface to get air but you have the octopi obviously. Its a question of physics. Few things burn under water and water tends to disperse things in an osmotic way. Our ancestors could find fire and utilize it in the environment long before they learned how to generate it. Its not just about power but about smelting and shaping. I mean a sci fi writing can someone envision the species using bioelectricity like from eels but then how do you make the conductive wire. Maybe you use a liquid conductor but now you have to have it contained and you can dip into the biology trough again but the species will need to make rockets to get off their planet as some point. You can of course use immense timescales with someone making bio computers or such figuring out some sort of antigrav lift but you have to stretch more and more to get to that.
There had been water based Beings, never leave water, in I think The Star Trek’s series was named ‘Enterprise’ that had enemy that never left water. Plus your points,
