Okay, now I have the hang of this...(g).
I myself haven't played BSE, but a few people I know have - they agree
with what Greg says above.

As far as Kerry's comments go, it's my understanding (and _please_ feel
free to correct me if I'm wrong) that he's had a total of two Rim setups -
played a couple turns on the first, and didn't bother to file _any_ turns
on the second go-round.

I don't know about you, but I don't wave around an opinion on something
until I spend a little more time with it. Rimworlds is a "slow growth"
game, and if you want to have massive warships roaming around blasting
things to smithereens right off the bat, you'll be in for a
disappointment.

Anyway, that's my two cents worth.
Tony B.
