RE: [GZG] [DS2]WhatamImissing? [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]



As you say yourself, it depends on the background you use mostly.  
If your world doesn't have access to grav (either low-tech or
cost-prohibitive), GEV fills a niche to deal with swampy or riverine
terrain.  Once grav becomes an available option, GEV definitely becomes its
poor cousin.
