you really think that it will be a better life because you will be able to see different times and the lifestyle of people in those times ? Have you ever considered travelling to different places in our times ? I assure you that if you do not find the second option fun then you will not find the cryogenice freezing + waking every 10 years part fun either.
I am bit rusty on my physics but can you tell me why would you need to give tangential velocity just to put something into orbit ? I mean its not like there is anything like 0 tangential velocity for a satellite launched from earth when seen from an intertial frame.
What would you say is the tangential velocity of the Geo-staionary satellites? Do you have to impart it to them or they just happen to have some tangential velocity w.r.t. some intertial frame anyway - because of the launch from an orbitting planet and various other factors - which is then tweaked to pull it down/up to a geostationary orbit ?
Somehow I do not see this becoming as big as some of you are hoping.
It will be one of those things which could have made a difference but then someone in the management line will get greedy and fuck it up. Seen it so many times with so many things that its hard to keep the hopes high now.
I am not one of those old gamers ( no idea what Dungeon Master means heh) but I actually liked NWN single player mode. It could be because I have always been more of a fps/strategy games junkie and NWN was my first rpg, but I was simply dazzled by the sheer amount of details and the seemingly immense universe (loved those side-quests to the point that I was afraid I am getting some sort of OCD like Jack Nicholson in As Good as it Gets, since I refused to get on with the main quest till I was totally sure there was not a single side quest left in that map!)
The thing I liked best about it was that it never felt to be too repetitive (except maybe at a couple of points and it more than made up for them by throwing in some interesting characters/quests). They actually had a side thing where you can have a 'Hot Coffee' like experience on top of all the monster slashing you get to do. Never quite got to play the mods, started with SoU but had to leave midway..oh well.

just my 2c

To quote the opposite
And no I am not challenging you
