Yes. Actualy, the LegoWars has a strict rule. You may not use technology
unless it might be created at this time, so thats what I do. :) In short, I
pretty much agree with you.
> Ooh, antimatter, that can be my generation after fusion. Thanks!
Oh yes, quite nice stuff. My newest ship, the Peryodention, is armed with a
DFKOAA, or Dual Fire Kalahasi Orion Antimatter Autocannon. :) Now that is
quite a mouthful.

Good! I was thinkin of saying, when Tom said, "Should this really take off,",
"Yes, should it really take off, what planet would it come from?" :)

Good! Do you have Ldraw? If so, try making some of them, and then we can put
them in the landing bays of the Space Station.
