thespiritcoyote May 10, 2011 - 8:02pm | Interesting opening results... Oh humans!! We discover a galactic community filled with multiple species of aliens, and the first thing we think about is "how can we have sex with them?". ~ anymoose, somewhere on the net... so... if you square a square it becomes a cube... if you square a cube does it become an octoid? |

thespiritcoyote May 11, 2011 - 12:14pm | Is actually what I expected, but after the discussions, I was waiting to be surprised... I agree there have been some good articles done, but it's kinda like the Dral, they are just a little too alien to easily get your head into... The Dral have an advantage of being a Core-Four, and the Mechanon are a fringe NPC race from a frequently debated source. I have used the heck out of them, and could qualify for any of the first four poll options, at any given time. Oh humans!!

Rollo May 11, 2011 - 7:52pm | When it comes to gaming I try not to limit my imagination. So when I'm offered an idea (any idea) I try to exploit it. If it needs tweaking to fit into my game universe, then I tweak it as needed and use it. The only bad idea is the one that you reject out-of-hand imo. So yeah, I use them. But for now they're little-known and only hinted at. Happily I have the benefit of introducing this system to a younger generation who don't know all the ins and outs of it so keeping this race a mystery to them for as long as possible provides quite a lot of fun. I don't have to outrun that nasty beast my friend...I just have to outrun you! |
jedion357 June 11, 2011 - 5:10pm | Whats to allow? Mechnons are NPCs and thus the province of the referee. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |

On that note, I couldn't vote as I didn't see the option that best describes my use of them...which would have been "Yes, sourcing the SF-2 Starspawn on Volturnus module". |
