- I have to agree a lot with the Lunatic. FASA is a business, and their
- business is making games. If they sell games, they make money and stay in
- business; if they don't sell, they lose money and go bankrupt. So, in order
- to sell the most product, they have to please a majority of the market.
- This is what they've done.
-
- I'm not saying if it's "bad" or "good"; it's a fact of ecconomics.
-
- In the end, though, I have to look down upon those that have totally
- abandoned the game just because of some changes FASA makes. If you don't
- like the changes, then for cripes sake DON'T USE 'EM. If you don't like the
- Clans, DON'T USE 'EM. If you don't like Star League tech, DON'T USE IT. If
- you don't like the new rules, DON'T USE 'EM.
-
- Nobody is twisting your arm to use FASA's "official" rules.

- I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the
- shoulder of Orion. I've watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tanhauser
- Gate. All those moments will be lost in time like tears in rain. Time to die.
