    That weapon was basically a genocide device. It was probably the least cool thing the sg-1 ever did.

    No, it wasn't a genocide device, any more than a bulldozer is a weapon for mass murder. http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/Dakara_superweapon

    Wasn't it stated in the show that the Ancients used the device to seed life in the milky way galaxy?

    I believe so. Another good point.

    Goshdarn it, more stuff Stargate ripped off from Star Trek?

    No, wait, be calm . . . it's simply bringing older stories to a newer audience . . . paying homage, etc etc . . .

    Yes but they also tried to eliminate their enemys with it (Wrace,Replicators)
    And like the Time Machine on P4X-639 they failed with it.

    if humans are at the using end, this will be the same sooner or later. ;)


    and yet again a day where I failed to limit the cynical side of my world view. <sigh>
    maybe tomorrow. :)

    Personally I would like to see planets that were effectively security vaults
    Massive defensive capabilities and extremely hard to deal with but were hoarding a large amount of resources

    Maybe even make it so you could create a planet that acts like a sentry on patrol... except its a planet... with much bigger guns

    Such a weapon would fit into the "story" of PA just perfectly.

    It´s more a Weapon that can turn matter into its basic elements but for PA I think we can use it as an big emp weapon for 5 star system around the system with the weapon or something like that.

    Imagine a system in galactic war that sends out massive solar storms every couple of hours, making the battle for the system end after time runs out and preventing fortification.

    It'll make the dead units in SupCom look too few, but with massive bases of dead stuff to speed up the next conflict!

    So my intent is to talk more about the front-end scripting solution. I also want to show off the planet editor a bit.

    Unfortunately I can't promise both of this will happen this week, but they are both in the pipe for "real soon".

    We'll likely be making use of a translation service for EFIGS and other languages, but.. that said, if it makes sense, we'll also be actively acting the community during beta to feedback on translations.

    A number of community members have asked about it, and while crowdsourcing all translations is risky, not taking advantage of a huge, multi-nation, multi-language community to make sure it's all translated in the best way possible would be silly! :)
