Doh I just thought of an easy solution...I could simply make my race live on a planet with an atmosphere for once. Won't have to worry about twisting the laws of physics or making em grasshopper with rockets this way

I think that ultimately the best atmosphere/planet type to choose for your race is "the one that nobody else is using in that particular game." Good luck guessing.



BD: Read James Hogan much? <EG>

I love Hogan. Ever read NASA Conference Publication 2255 (Advanced Automation for Space Missions) http://www.islandone.org/MMSG/aasm/ ? It's what gave Hogan the idea for Code of the Lifemaker, and I just happen to be the obsessive freak that scanned the relevant chapter and converted it to HTML for that website.

I don't think I'll be playing the Irha-Nrr again for a little while anyway, though; after all the abuse they've been through at the Dragons' hands in the two games I've played with him I'm afraid they've gone completely insane. Time to give them a rest and let some of my other races play.
