Re: Ted7,
Whilst I agree with much of what you said in the (April 7) last posting, like
>> hardware runs better in cold environments...etc.
you could have proposed some alternative ideas instead of merely shooting down
the ones put forward. Yes, I know some of the ideas were maybe unfeasible, but
where are your new ideas/planets/people?
And also, as we are dealing with tech much in advance of anything we can
build at the moment, we simply don't know if some things will or will not work.
For example, the point about DET computing systems not helping against the
self-evolving Virus, simply because of the way GDW described it, and the fact
that the Aslan were affected, is simply not a valid point. Maybe they have
discovered something new, that does pose a serious problem to the Virus, not
simply being a different OS or whatever. As a (serious...not really) software
engineer, I liked some of the ideas, certainly the cyberpunk-esque idea of
warriors defeating the virus mano a mano (sp?) in a virtual world. Anything is
possible.
Opinions are fine, but your postings like
>> And what of the trade that fed these worlds that kept them as hi-tech?
>> The trade cut off due to the Rebellion and Hard Times? Like
>> stopsville? As these places lost their markets (no one to sell to),
>> their economy declines. Like lose a couple tech levels?
have left many questions unanswered. How about some answers?
Oh and as for the bridge crew of 1. Yup, absolutely!
Paddle-less in Deep Space...!
