http://lists.csua.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gzg-lWhat is the status
of Bio-Design work? I mean for Human's. Would it be
"possible" to Bio-design a "Super Troopers", and if group was fielded
against
your force. And following this question, any ideas what would be the
feelings of Humans towards these "Super Troopers"?
I'm kinda of talking about a BT Elemental, but with maybe some more
advantages/disadvantages.
And if I had to do a RPG based on GZG I would use GURPS.

BioGen is located in a favorable regulatory environment, ie the Alarishi
Empire, with a planetoid to itself. The company is believed to be involved in
desiging macro bio weapons (eg larger than 10cm, eg raptors, wolves, etc) as
well as tailored virii and insects. This has not been verified and the company
does not issue press releases.
Whoa, Bucky, you haven't done the canon run yet... ;->=
Also, I think he's talking about human modification, mostly.
I don't think there's anything, including variant rules, that mentions this
yet. Course, being a vacchead, my readings of SGII and DSII would be
considered 'cursory'.
It should still be wide open, fertile ground for your imagination. However,
I'd pretty much assume that any enhancements would be pretty universal in
armed forces after some time. Especially, if you assume that space transport
is at least as expensive as ground transport, which would in fact be additive.
While those of us paying for maintenance meds, in a sense,
bio-enhancement,
might find it hard to believe, the expensive part is development; I'd think
individuals 'jacked up' would tend not to be a big added expense, IF indeed,
you are talking about 'super troopers'.
Your PS(ocial)B limitations to the tech would, of course, vary.

Yeah, but I figure it'll be easier if I include all the weirdness up front and
get it approved as one package, instead of saying "Hey Jon, how about Forward
Power?", then two months later "Can I add New Los Angeles?" and then six
months later "What about the Radical Lesbian
Collective, Jon, do you want them too?"--the last of which, come to
think of it, wouldn't be a question that I'd want an answer to.

BioGen reps will neither confirm nor deny any rumors of enhanced
parmaceuticals, genetic engineering, tailored nanites, or combinations thereof
which could result in modifications to humans or other
intelligent or semi-intelligent species.

There are 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary, and
those who do not.

Damn vaccheads have an opinion on *everything*. Not that there's
anything wrong with that... ;-)

Perhaps, but not that interesting to play if it's completely universal. I'd
like to see a more Masamune Shirow future where the real heavy duty stuff is
not only expensive in development, but also in maintenance. I've been
wondering what it would be like to play Ghost in the Shell with Stargrunt or
FMA and what the mods for "super humans" would be like.

"BioGen does not confirm nor deny", etc.
I got tired of Weber's writing before I got to Mesa, but BioGen has one
planetoid and is notable mainly for an uncompromising approach to security.
The relevant "Fyodor's Guide to the Alarishi Systems" section is titled
"Trespassers Will Be Eaten" but in fact any trespassers would have to get
through 60,000km of enthusiastic beam fire before they could get close enough
to be eaten.

Was that shameless stolen from Macho Women with Guns? Been a long time since I
played that:)... besides, isn't the more PC term the "The Pinko Pathers":)
> then six months later "What about the Radical Lesbian
Nope, unless it's credited (eg Tomb for the Turing Republic), I'm forced to
admit that the aberrations and oddities of the Alarishi Empire were all my
fault.
