Damn... its about time this was initiated *LOL* You have a good head on ya shoulders, Geo. I notice you are typically a voice of reason.

Bman had a good point about the armor skipping weapons. I also fashioned one of these, as I feel its a fair enough advantage to have available to most players - at the sacrifice of damage and effectiveness at high range... I made mine taper off, so that at far range it does next to nothing, hell it generally doesnt even show on the damage meter (tactical)... But up close, its a fierce weapon... Called it 'Cold-Fusion Cannon' and made it part of its own tech area along with a weapon called Dark-Matter Torpedos (futurama fan, and dark matter just sounds so cool *LOL*)... they however, cannot skip armor and act as more of a bludgening assault. The Cold-Fusion Cannons (CFC's) are generally balanced, but thats my distoted view, would be happy to have someone good at balancing look them over - as they are a permanent part of my games.)

(sorry for double post, hit tab-enter on accident - or somethen! LOL)

Anyway - enough rambling. This looks interesting... I love variety and the rp aspect... I dont play PBW coz WTF? Why play if I have no choice but to play against a buncha cutthroat babies? LOL The game has an elegant flair, and it should be better utilized.

Its an amazing format for RP, which is what makes the choice so much nicer...its kinda lame when you engage an alien race who has the same armament as every other race. Good concepts, I am interested... wanna see how this evolves.
