this is good too, but just 2 very important questions: 1 why has a company who can use hyperspace jumps sent steampowered machines to fight other companies and not nuclear powered drones for example? 2 this means that globes are directly controlled by humans and not self-evolving creatures. graphically speaking the second one is not that relevant, but the first one is a lot. in the first case majority of changes are in the interface, for example they may use a language to communicate, cause they need to say something to humans too. in the second, the design of the units and stuff will be human related. _______________________________________________ glob2-devel mailing list glob2-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/glob2-devel
