:sigh: I need some ideas for a presentation, but it needs to be associated with Freespace2 and has to be convincing to the lecturer cause she said you can't pick games unless you have a excellent topic. Any ideas would help??? Thanks in Advance!! :yes:

Go all environmental like and tell of the Ancients and how they eradicated life, and were punished by a greater power. Talk about how we here on Earth are driving species to extinction and the ecological effects of that.

Make up something on how radio signals travel through subspace but do not need full nodes to travel since they're just streams of photons. that is indeed "information technology." :D

you could attempt to explain the socio aspects of two races attempting coexist peacefully after 14 years of war and the effect it would have at least on the human psyche.  I can actually see many people being like our not so friendly admiral to a certain degree.  When we boil it down, he even said it's not a hatred of vasudans, but a love of humanity.  Isn't that basis for every group of racists out there?  of course they mask the whole thing in anger and hate.  but i think that freespace made everybit as strong a statement about racism as the movie Pleasantville did.
The NTF was really nothing more than a sci fi KKK.  

and really the freespace universe when seen through those eyes isn't so much about war, as it is about change, and about how all of us are creatures of change by necessity, but we resist that change in the name of emotional and mental comfort.  Personal security.

anyway, these are just my views and as such, subject to more flaming.
