Re: [VV] Organics and other flavoring - RE: [VV] Vectorverse -- Ok so far?

I agree in that each of the nations should have some effect, or style 
--  whatever, that makes them unque, and fun to play.

IMHO "hard" tech is better than Bio-tech, any day.

But, I just could never wrap my mind around a bio based tech.  I keep 
having visions of a battle commander asking why some piece of vital 
equipment won't work, and is told "its having a bad day...", or someone 
was late with it's chow...

I personally don't think there should be so much "bio-tech" in sci-fi.	
I am tired of seeing heros crawling though some creature's intestines or

other.	Gross.
