Re: OT of OT: Rating Fyron -- no longer possible

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">You are saying that Galileos theories were rejected on scientific grounds? Not so; they were rejected because if accepted as literally true they...

Re: OT of OT: Rating Fyron -- no longer possible

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I'd add Giordano Bruno to your list there. He actaully was burned at the stake. Galileo is an interesting case, because he is often used as the...

Re: SE5, Tell Aaron what\'s on your Wish List

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">This is the absolute heart of the disagreement here. Because I regard that effectiveness as being exactly the same _relative_ chances to hit with...

Re: Question About Remote Mining

The economics of doing this depend on your empire's maintenance costs. With a decent maintenance bonus remote mining can pay off. The downside is that the value of the object decreases by 1% for...

Re: SE5, Tell Aaron what\'s on your Wish List

A few user-interface enhacements (and one on fighters). Usability over eye-candy every time.

Re: SE5, Tell Aaron what\'s on your Wish List
