Re: CyberSpace Empires Mod
That sounds intersting. But I dont even know enough operating systems to fill 5 atmospheres for each of the 3 computer types. What is the Mac OS called anyway? I can think of a few Unix and Linux OS types but not enough to fill all the types.

Mac OS, plus a number if you need to specify the version. I think the current latest is Mac OS X. |

Re: CyberSpace Empires Mod
Ok. Maybe OSes as atmospheres won't work so much here (in SE:5 it would be very easy to do,  ).
I don't think it matters what you call them anyway, since you can't rename the atmospheres anyway. |

Re: CyberSpace Empires Mod
How about: Windoze, Mac OS, Unix, Linux, BSD.

Re: CyberSpace Empires Mod
The problem is that some people will complain if you have a pc with "mac-os". The same kind who complain about sci-fi canon. |

Re: CyberSpace Empires Mod
You guys gave me a great idea. How about this:
Rock: Desktop
Ice: Laptop
Gas: Palms, Printers, Scanners, etc.
Star: Network Hub
Oxygen: Windows
Carbon Dioxide: Macintosh
Hydrogen: Unix
Methane: Linux
None: Hacker
I definitly wanted a hacker "atmosphere" type so that you could visually see the red hacked images on your reformatted computers. Reformatting (terraforming) should be easier than stock.
And I noticed that it is possible to have a gas\none combination in the system files. The planets seem to generate with that option just fine.

Then they are ignorant of the fact that OS-X has always had an x86 ("pc") port (not sold, but developed concurrently with the Power PC branch), and that Apple will soon be selling PCs with Intel x86 CPUs.  |

Re: CyberSpace Empires Mod
I'd make stars the "servers" for the "LANs". I'd personally prefer pc-mac-unix for planets, but it's your mod. |
