Warning
First, however, a warning from the desk of the Captain himself:
Cleaver wrote: Oh my, I am very excited by our ideas here, but I am going to be tight-lipped...we don't want to set the expectations that 'all these fantastic things' are going to be in the game real soon now; even if we can see a clear *design* path to them, by the time we get to implementation other things may have changed, and it could be some time in the future. We just don't know, yet...[1]
