Hi, Interesting explanation. I guess It is hard to catch all this watching only the anime. By the way, I'm wondering why most of the battleplans displayed inside commanders' battleships are 2-D while the battle is of course 3D. Could it be some kind of bug? Speaking about technology, isn't it strange that they do not seem to have extraordinary weapons of any kind? I mean, they "still" use nukes, guns (even if laser), I won't speak about the axes (!!!). Is there some explanation for this stop in technological progress? Another thing, sorry to disturb everyone with that but it seems that I have been kicked out of this list. I hope it is a mistake and if it is not, probably someone can explain me (via private mail) the reason. Anyway, I just re-subscribed, so... David salle@ntasun.tnl.ntt.jp
