		Thread: What to do with multiple monitors? Post: RE: What to do with multiple monitors? Personally, I would consider multi-monitor support a luxury item. Not at all essential to the simulation. I've never used multiple monitors. Even at work I prefer a single monitor, though many of my c...	antred	Dev Log	3	19,850	08-18-2016, 01:32 AM
		Thread: First draft of tech tree Post: RE: First draft of tech tree Another question. Does "Venus Cloud Station" mean that you intend to include such stations in the game as actual bases?

		Thread: cosmic ray protection from Martian atmosphere? ...Nope Post: RE: cosmic ray protection from Martian atmosphere?... Then there's also the low gravity. That's not at all good for people if they're going to stay for an extended period of time. Mars is not a very reasonable target for colonization.	antred	Real Space	17	39,054	09-30-2015, 01:09 PM
