Let's return to playing Galactic Civilizations II - the HARD mode.

[Cubey]

I've played and seen too much... what chiasaur mentioned a few posts ago. So I know better than to give an AI control over anything more advanced than a coffee machine. Which still brings disasterous results, so I guess I never learn anything.

As for the plasma gun incident, as soon as we find it harsh words will be said. Forget the one who stole it, who was the one hiding it away from me? Plasma is advanced technology, and that's just what we need: advanced weapons. Not donating such a thing for reverse-engineering is cause for immediate court martialing. Or, if you're a civilian, "volunteering" for field duty (cleaning the Tech Capital's lonely corridors) and then court-martialing.
