At least for the scientist part, the fact that !SCIENCE! teams where a thing on Hep even though ARESTEVE could also do research seems to imply humans can still do valuable R&D.

There could always be some story/gameplay segregation of course.

[piecewise]

Piecewise! A word of god, if I may.

Dev and Egan think R&D people were basically equivalent of bacteria in petridish while Steve did all tech development and nurses were just extensions of Doc. Basically every human being on Sword were nothing more than cargo. I disagree. Who's right?

The men in the RND department were a clan of modified (and somewhat inbred) individuals with short lives who did the hard work of figuring out how materials worked and functioned and put them into use. Steve didn't do the research, they did.  And often times they died for it. I think the average life span for an R&D man was 40 something. And those that did survive ended up like mr. roboctopus: weird.

The nurses are...well they're individuals they're just individuals heavily infected by the Doctor. They do work and such as you would expect, but he can also control them.

As I thought.

By the way, completely unrelated to anything: did Steve have ways to bring berserking Avatar under control? Other than dropping few tons of tungsten on it?

Berserking Avatar? There's a reason we check to make sure the pilots can handle it before we let them in. A berserking Avatar is literally an avatar but with the ability to use a universal amp with no real limit. Ton of tungsten might not stop it.

Standing protocol with Berserking Avatar is to de-ass the area and hope the pilot gets control of it again.

[AoshimaMichio]

...hope the pilot gets control of it again.

Yeaaah, we may have some problems with that.

Then get to de-assing with the quickness.

I was thinking more "pets" Aoshi.  And that seems about right.  The doc would be the vermin.

[AoshimaMichio]

Pets are not productive Dev. They exist only so you can play parent with them and enjoy of your apparent dominant status while pretending to be good. And vermin would be praising term for Doc if you are referring to his survivability. Cockroaches are really hard to kill after all.


More I think about starting Einsteinian Roulette: Early Days, more I want to make it. Can I do anything about this troubling self feeding cycle of thinking and wanting?

[Xantalos]

Try to plan it out and let yourself get demotivated by the amount of work and time it'd take to do properly?

[AoshimaMichio]

That only serves to motivate me. Like "I'll show you I can do it"".

[TheBiggerFish]

That only serves to motivate me. Like "I'll show you I can do it"".

Well...Start doing it?  Maybe get PW onboard.

[Radio Controlled]

Well in that case.

"Just give up aoshi. This is beyond you. The updates, the whining players, the time and effort. You have better things to do than dangling some shiny keys in front of ungrateful internet strangers to distract them from contemplating the specter of creeping death with fantasy and escapism.

Few things sadder than a game that doesn't know an end, its characters forever stuck in limbo. Better not to risk it."

I dunno, I could run ER: Early Days using some system. If thats what people are interested in.

I wonder how early we should go...
