I know it is not a full racial tech since it does not provide a temporal shipset.

Organic and Crystalline traits are no more "full" than the other tech traits; the ship hulls they provide are almost pointless, and primarily serve to burden the player with excessive options.

Depends on what your values are. Some people, such as Buddhists, are concerned with all suffering, and bull-fighting looks like a lot of suffering.

All life is wrought with suffering; going overboard with worry will leave one empty inside.

'To dig out a mountain, one must first decide which pebble to move' - Me, just now. Someone probably said it before, though.

I recorded an animated movie for my Nephew the other day. It inolves a sailor and his best friend, a Penguin, who team up with a Koala to protect their magic pudding from puddin thieves. He was just watching it again and I pointed out to his grandmother that it's that sort of story that creates vegetarians, having talking animals, then the child grows up not wanting to eat the talking animals

Incidentally, recently on tv here there's an ad campaign where the spokesman for a chicken products company offers help to those unfortuante .001% of the population that don't like chicken. I expect the vegetarians to get annoyed.

I saw lots of kids movies/cartoons with talking animals growing up, and I still find them very delicious. Now, you want to talk about blatant propaganda films, look to Fern Gully..

Well me too naturally.

The weird thing I noticed in this movie, "The Magic Pudding", was that the main villain wanted to steal the magic nevereneding pudding so he could always eat vegetable pudding, despite the fact the pudding's guardians always had Steak and Kidney pudding. Only when he couldn't have the pudding was the villain forced to eat meat, which he didn't want to. Mind you he was a wombat as far as I can figure.

How do I add a new shipset to space empires?

Extract the shipset archive into the Empires folder.
