The Second Space Race : 2015 [0/6] Death Due to Disk failure
« on: August 03, 2013, 02:28:30 pm »

Almost five decades after the first Space Race between the US, and the USSR ended, a new Space Race has started to form. Once more, a battle between West and East appears to unfold, though this time there's no division by ideology, no threatening war and no cosmic intimidation contest. In fact, after the exploration of Space in the Sixties, it's exploitation now follows. The large national institutions have paved the way, but with political leaders unwilling to invest, it falls to the private sector to reap the spoils.

Hmmm I'll join.

Is industrial espionage possible? Like playing as some kind of spy who works to slow down or steal from other companies? Or offers security to other companies.

Industrial espionage is very much a possibility. You're however playing as the leader of a small, private space enterprise, and that's where the core of the game's about. Then again, It might be perfectly possible to make a profit by stealing and selling technologies. Not everyone might approve however

Well I know almost nothing about spaceships or anything. (( I didn't even watch star trek so yeah.... ))

However I love old spy books so if I can play as a little company dedicated to stealing from the space companies them I'm in my zone.

This isn't about star Trek style rocketry though.

Problem with the spy thing is that the rules for that are fairly niche, and limited. (Pick the target, set infiltration budget/ Agent, and that's about it) So it might be rather boring.

War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.

Mmmmm yeah I guess, but building games don't really fit me very well I get bored of them really easily without some kind of action.

Darn, just missed it.
Any chance of letting in a seventh player if I ask nicely?

I would ask why fire can burn two men to death without getting hot enough to burn a book, but then I read "INEXTINGUISHABLE RUNNING KAMIKAZE RADIOACTIVE FLAMING ZOMBIE" and realized that logic, reason, and physics are all occupied with crying in the corner right now.
