[QUOTE="vikingerik, post: 239122, member: 3745"] This is a good point. They may have thought they were clarifying with that, rather than misleading. It's just us that got ourselves into a wrong assumption that all of "3.0" had been back-ported. And I still think Farsight [i]wants[/i] to retrofit and re-tune all of 3.0 (or 4.0), but the reality is that they just don't have the time and resources to do it. I don't hold anything against Farsight here. I work in software. This is normal, this happens all the time, there's always all sorts of things you want to do that sound exciting when you talk them up but the reality is you just can't get there on your schedule. The Web doesn't count here. That one does have railroading problems like in TPA. Starting with Timeshock is when PP has the super high spatial resolution that makes everything emergent. Source: directly from Ade during Timeshock's playtesting period in 1997. If PP's physics engine isn't fully emergent, it's close enough that I can't tell any difference, and you guys know how perceptive I am for these things. [/QUOTE]
