The games are long, I'll give you that. Sometimes I start one, play past mid game, and then stop playing -- real life does creep in on me from time to time. But you never know when something will just jump out at you. Observe the following evolution:

I never made a ship set, I never wrote an AI. Didn't think I wanted to do it, other people are better at it.

I tried my first PBW. I was the stock Jarenar. Someone else wanted to be the Zorians, but switched their shipset, probably to avoid shipset confusion with me (same ships Zorians have blue markings where the Jarenar have red). Unfortuately, the switch was set to Allbion Race, which was the same as someone else. And now I really can't tell them apart.

Simple statement -- there aren't enough unique shipsets on PBW. YMMV. I simply had to create one unique for myself to use.

I thought of a machine race, yes it's been done already, so I decided they might as well have a unique set of characteristics, hence my selection of the emotionless trait. Now I must conduct experiments to see how to use it.

Once shipset and racial characteristics are done, I'll have somethin new to do at PBW

I'll have to rewrite the AI, someone else may want to use them some time as an AI opponent. Ohh, and Neostandard images. So much to do.
