Re: PBW ethics, opinions please.
Now see Arkcon, would a true bloodthirsty race really advertise themselves as such? Wouldn't they list themselves in the Galactic Who's Who as a race of peaceful artists? That way the sucker races would all turn their back and they could pounce them. Seems perfectly reasonable to me.

Re: PBW ethics, opinions please.
Wellll It looks like:
'GAMEY' is not a situation but a state of mind.
I was a bit irritated at a friend when he revealed that upgrading a ship and not upgrading the engines left the ship with it's current fuel load. My first thought was damn I wish I knew that and I got that gamey feeling. But He just knew the game better than I and so NO ONE has come up with a truly 'GAMEY' Situation.

I think Fyron's statement is pretty self-explanatory. What is your question about it? Do you disagree?

Why would it not work this way? When I take my car to the shop to get an oil change or have speakers installed they don't drain the fuel tank.

You are right GEO it should work taht way but when I upgrade I upgrade everything and it was just something I did not notice and being out of fuel after an upgrade is a minor problem I still contend with. I guess I need to pay even closer attention to the game.
