RE: [SG] Climate/Environment Aclamation

G'day Brian,

Hopefully you read the rest of my post yesterday and didn't give up in 
exasperation at the "IAS doesn't = cold" line ;)

I really do think your suggestion is a sound one. I'd upper it another 
level for really fast changes in environment, especially for green
troops. 
Another thought is that those with little motivation or morale
(backbone) 
should get shifts down too. So in some circumstances a blue 1 no, but a 
blue 3 maybe.

I honestly don't know. It can also depend on the person. It takes me a
long 
time to acclimate, but Derek will have it down in under a week.

 >Environmental Changes:

Sounds pretty good to me, though it'd have to be REALLY severe to rate
as 
severe I guess.

To extend this one step further how would you deal with it in a game
where 
you're fighting in a starship or base station or something and the 
artifical g goes out?

Cheers

Beth
