What all of us at once? You must be mad! We'll out buy you five or six
to one and then I don't really care how much better you designs are or how
much better you play them. You must lose. You'll run out of craft first!

Meson guns are too much like fun! Players are not supposed to enjoy
themselves. I think spinal meson guns detract from the combat quite a lot.

24 hours a day? I for one am unable to check my mail on my off hours very
often. The time shifts make life pretty dismal. I'm willing to try and
see how things turn out though.

The design isn't quite moot, the combat tactics are. You are still going to
have to trade things off in the design stages since you can never afford
everything you want.
