I believe there is also an Episode I: The Phantom Menace (recently
released), and there may also be sequels to Episode I, called Episode II and
Episode III, forming a prequel trilogy. Who knows what types of Freudian
Symbol Monsters might appear in those movies?

Jesse, do you think that LEGO people are really that small in their own
universe? In other words, when we build a LEGO model is it 1:1 scale or 1:36
scale (or something else)?

Why do you need to make space monster burgers and/or steaks? Do they taste
nice? And is it ethical to cook space monsterss when there are so many
delightful soy products in the universe? I generally think it's a bad idea
to "poke the monster" anyway -- some people grow hair on the palms of their
hands...
Concerning 200-300 stud long capital ships. If they were as heavily armed as
your space craft they might have at least 120, maybe as many as 360, exhaust
weapons which would be a lot more than the 40-80 wepaons on your space ship.
Again this is ethically dubious, in my opinion. I am also interested in the
defense robot you have. Is it armed?

Is this dangerous at all? What if you want to move and fire your weapons at
the same time?

They are LEGO blocks, not Legos, Jesse, please see my post here:
http://news.lugnet.com/general/?n=29565
I am interested in the names of your factions. Is Gaea a name for the Earth
based faction? Does it relect the Mother Earth? Is it peaceful and nurturing
or patriarchal and menacing? Is it a Federation like the US or a Federation
like the EU? Are Aliens allowed in the Federation? Is it a democracy like
the US or a democracy like Iraq?
Are the Nomads nomads, ie do they travel around with no fixed settlements?
Or does the whole Empire travel around to different planets? Are they good
or evil? Do they have an Emperor? Are they Humans or Aliens? I hope you can
help with my questions, Jesse.

To take a contemporary example: What about the US spy plane that was
disabled in _contested_ airspace near China, and landed in China? Was it on
patrol, or invading? What if the "native forces" consider the mere presence
of your space craft an attack?
Anyway, I'm interested in hearing more about your creations Jesse. Thanks.
