Question about 'None' atmosphere.

If they live in a "none" atmosphere, they'd experience no atmospheric pressure, and, although implosion probably wouldn't happen (at least with humans and similar species, we're mostly made up out of uncompressible liquids so we'd just die and spout gore), they'd experience extreme discomfort and there's a great chance that they'll die of pressure trauma. It's the opposite of what happens when you take a deep-sea fish to the surface; it's built for high environmental pressures, the pressure drops, the fish actually explodes - if you were to take a None breather to a planet with an atmosphere, the pressure would kill him. Same reason why a human shouldn't go swimming around a submarine when it's in deep water.

Good point.

I concurr.

PvK, would you be referring to Stars!, by any chance?

speaking of stars!, we will get stars!-like ship design (slots types) in SE V, which is a very good thing from a strategic reflexion standpoint.

Ugh, Stars!?
That was limitations just for the heck of it.

Starfury did a much better job of slots than Stars!, IMO.
Not that I particularily like slots. I'd prefer SE3 style lists, with facings added.

Not Stars!-like slots. Starfury-like slots. From what I've seen, the SEV ship design screen looks almost exactly like the Starfury ship design screen.

But we're hacking this thread I think. Unless it's already served its purpose.

Yes, it has, I was just looking for a logical reason why races of non-breathers couldn't make equal use of all planet s, which you provided.

@PvK

In Stars! when you designed your race, you could alter the temperature, radiation and gravity parameters. If you were willing to spend enough points you could make your race immune to the effects of 1, 2 or all 3. It had some interesting ship components too.
