You know, I was thinking about the premise of this game, and it doesn't seem that far fetched. It seems to me that one of the biggest problems humans/others will have when/if we ever start building star ships will not necessarily be the actual technology, but the systems integration problems. WE can build space stations, shuttles, and weapon platforms now, with great time and expense. The most consistent problems with the shuttles and spacebases tends to come down to systems integration, right? The biggest hurdle to building larger vessels is tying it all together so the darn things work, no? So, the whol premise of the Ankle Biter game seems almost realistic to me. We simply don't have the experience and expertise to make larger ships and bases *work* - it's not that we don't have the technology, it's that we can;t effectively make it all work together in a bigger way...

but, then again, I am just babbling and trying to avoid work...

thanks,
