Cathaar Inconsistencies
A friend pasted me this as I was telling him about planetarion.
* Cathaar (Cat): Cathaar are a humanoid feline race, who possess advanced EMP technology, resulting in the ability to use highly efficient but non-lethal weaponry.
Firstly, what the HELL is a human feline race? (rhetorical) I honestly lol'd for a very long time.
Secondly, why are our ships called Beetles and Spiders and generally insectoid names when they should be things such as "TabbyCat" or "Felix"?
Please PA Team, enlighten me!

A quote from the link below:
Mrrshan, a matriarchal feline race with superb combat instincts
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_of_Orion#Races
I also think you should ask Spinner this question as he was the one who made the races.

Re: Cathaar Inconsistencies
but Petru, Theamion et al made up all the ship names, at least the general theme in R6 when they did the stats.

Re: Cathaar Inconsistencies
When the races were made they had cool names, not the bollocks they have now.
Remember the K'thal Fireblade? mmmmmm...

I always thought of the Men in Black kind of thing where the guy has eyelids which are like feline ones. As Kargool has said you really need to ask Spinner this
I guess the descriptions could be made better, I spruced up the Eitrades one in the manual this round, I will have a go at the others

Re: Cathaar Inconsistencies
My major qualm is that the Xan ships have ghostly names, and are the insectoid race, and the Cat ships have insect names, and are the feline race ...
It makes sense for the cloak to be ghostly names, but not for the race descriptions

Re: Cathaar Inconsistencies
Well done to Furball for getting the gist of the thread. I never really cared about what a feline humanoid would look like. I just think its incredibly retarded.
