So, as it stands, when we get blown up...

Wait, you mean the Warren Spector who ran Looking Glass Studios? Ye, it's the same. Btw, Civilisation was a board game first. That was the inspiration for the Sid Meier game. There is quite a crossover of ideas in tabletop and video games.

TIL!

Perhaps I should of clarified and said that I think it is lazy to explain away any Lore problem or other inconsistency with the excuse "It's just a game". I agree that there is a lot of nonsense you just have to accept at face value, but I still don't think that is reason enough to stop trying to make "sense" of the lore even if that "sense" is a far cry from reality and is part of a completely different set of rules governing a fictional universe.

This thread started out (even if jokingly) looking to see if the Lore could explain how the new space legs is going to deal with being crushed. If we ended at "It's just a game, close the thread, no need to explain anything", it would be pretty boring.

But that's just it. The reasoning is pretty boring.

Sorry but it is just a game, and yes I am going to keep repeating this because that is the point here that is factually true.

As I RP as an Imperial, slightly senapoding right now, the Empire taking a dim view of cloning as it does....

Your head detaches like a mini escape pod and warps to a new body, or that you telepresence to a new robo bod.

I like how you think. Bonus points for mentioning proper Transformers too.
