    I already accidentally joined it:
    - I moved to low-sec.
    - My friendliness earned me an invite into the pirate corp that "owned" the system.
    - As soon as I joined them, they joined HBC and moved to nullsec.
    - I stayed behind. My miner buddies turned on me and pushed me out, because I had apparently betrayed them by joining the pirate corp.

    Oh well. I only lost 100 mil, and I'd made that in a single day of AFK mining + assignment-doing. I just need to make a bit more cash before I lose my next 100 mil.

    Cool. Btw, what's dis' damage? He could at least update his playerbase when he's going to be gone for months.

    Yes, I know, I'm a gigantic bullseye of hypocrisy, so shoot me. :p

    Well, I like the writing style because it manages to use speculative technology well but doesn't drift into esoterica and/or technobabble. I'd be interested in other sci-fi books that are about this level of "hardness," if you can find any with an engaging plot.

    No problem; Caliban's War manages to roughly keep pace with the predecessor in terms of good.

    I still don't completely understand how the "Hold the Line" win/lose works. Sigh.

    Also, I'll have to ask Dachs on that one, but predictably the number should be >0.

    She'd probably walk past the vast majority of Aboriginals in Australia without blinking because the vast majority of Indigenous people in Australia don't live remote in communities and are a well integrated, if somewhat silent, minority. IIRC Sydney has more Aboriginal people than the whole of the NT.

    For that matter, I have cousins with green eyes and blonde hair who are still Maori.

    Second complaint about Orion2, after the lack of scroll wheel functionability: the fact that there's a cap to how many citizens you can have in transit at one time.

    I'm in the middle of a huge cold war with the Sakkrans, and they continue to outproduce me because I can't fill up my jovian-terraformed planets fast enough.

    Symph. I really don't think you understand. You are dragging a goddamn star behind you. A goddamn star.

    (also, there was an f-starting verb before "efficiency" in my last post, that CFC decided to censor. The gist of it wasn't meant to be "it's efficient", it was meant to be "intercourse efficiency!")

    They have founder, though their current exercising of this is negligible, hence the comment at the beginning of the discussion, that the #neverending folks can come back now. :p

    Hence the "cool". efficiency, you're dragging a goddamn star behind you.

    I've seen people disagree pretty violently. It may seem clear-cut but some people absolutely don't think of it as such.

    Interesting notion. But I don't think the dichotomies (such as they are) are all that simple. There's nothing clear-cut about the Geth-Quarian rivalry.

    I think that the rivalries are just a way Mass Effect chooses to analogize difficult questions. It may be a really common device in the series but that doesn't trivialize the weight of the questions. Y'know?
