Comment: Listen very carefully, human...the fact that I even allow you to speak directly to me is a gift I bestow upon you. You do not order me. You beg for my appreciation and then wait to see if I choose to bestow it upon you.

I think any vessel should be able to pick up some kind of entertainment being broadcast. Won't it be so boring during long voyages if there is none?


That's what DVDs are for. Or more likely, some type of crystal storage device.

That's what Game Dude VR System is for!

Also, on civilized Core Worlds, you should be able to watch any of 5000 channels on your cybernetic eye implants....

If that doesn't prompt you to buy it, I don't know what else I can say.

I think gladiator sports would be big in 3G. MDC beings, plus high tech medical facilities(lost an arm? We'll just grow you a new one fromy our own tissue) plus magical and other means of healing.

Pimp My PA
CCW Games
Sitcoms(Wolfen, Noro and Kregor as roomates?)
And so forth
God says he loves me, but I suspect he's just in it for the sex

I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it

The Armies and Works that you hold Dear,
Are to him but the Playthings of the Moment,
To be turned over with the Flick of a Finger,
And the Turning of a Page"

I wanted to be the first to suggest porn. :(
Oh, well.

But seriously, interracial smut would be VERY popular. Good money for some enterprising PC's.

As for the ships in deep space, its more reliable to bring your entertainment with you. Though I see no reason why they cant download it from the data nets when they arrive in a star system. I'd say such a thing would only be available from the highly advanced planets though.

EDIT: Or big space stations in busy systems.
