Attack of the Ankle-Biters - Replacment player needed.

AMF · #1 April 6th, 2004, 06:27 PM

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,

Alarik

I thought so.

They are treated the same as warp openers, star destroyers, etc. If one of my enemy has them, they are Weapons of Mass Destruction. If I or my ally has them, they are "Strategic Deterrants." and A-O-K.

Sefter is taking good care of them. Many warships, planets, and tech levels. I think he just passed me in the most! They seem to doing well.

Hmmm...going on a couple of days now without a turn from the only non-contributing player. Do we turn on autoprocessing or just wait?

The Hand just got a major boost from the Hevordah when they gifted him many ships and planets prior to surrendering to the Ekhazon Empire. A word to their leader, those ships did not stop us when they were in the hands of the Hevordah.
