[quote=Abysse] Finished my NS, though I'm stuck as to how to make some sort of perpetual energy machine plausible. I'm not as good with this future science stuff as many of you seem to be. [/quote] Generally getting around the problem of the Second Law of Thermodynamics is pretty big. Its the greatest enemy of every mad scientist. If you need help, probably ask Terminal... He is the RP's resident crazed mad scientist/physicist/other stuff, I just have learning in economics and business management. @Duck: On that note, the economic model you mentioned in your NS is not 'new' or irregular , it is essentially a form of Proto-Communism or Authoritarian Socialism, similar to what the early communist and socialist theorists advocated, and is quite well known. @Wernher: I obviously accept the idea since I suggested it, but it depends on what most human-players think
