But if we were so "into violence" we would have much more efficent killing methods then our current or experimental levels of weapons technology. ......
Are you referring to the in game TEC as "we", or are you living on a different world from the one I inhabit?
LOL.
Indeed. And the human race is markedly restrained. We are stuck on one planet, we are in no hurry to develop the technology to smear planets across a solar system!
If humans have no
other enemies to fight, then they will gladly dig in and fight themselves. We are a conflict driven race!
As someone up there said, without war, there is no progress.
"What will you do once the one person that challenged you dies? You become rusty, not needing to stay on your toes. You might slip, tip, forget something to cover all your bases. Your thinking and processing will slow and inevitably you will be caught once another challenger comes into play"
Truest thing I've ever read.
I think that with the dual-front war going on, the unawares trader union should've gone belly-up then and there.
There really shouldn't
be a TEC, only a scattered remnant, a smattering of confused colonies wondering why their much needed shipment of supplies hasn't arrived yet.
The whole TEC thing is
very optimistic. Granted, it wouldn't be much of a game if we could not play our own race, but still...
It's a thought.
