    Thanks for the compliment!  I am very hesitant about stating that I'd
throw out Herospace altogether; even the silliest of things can be made
interesting in the right light and the right flavor text.  For example, a
good five or six years ago (my god, has it been that long?!?!?!), I had an
idea that changed the goblin porcupine from an easily-dismissed ship to a
real interesting, low-level threat.  My idea?  Make it a gigantic
spineyball...one that the goblins could grow in huge hordes.  Plus I gave
them a type of helm that was cheap to make and largely useless to PCs.  The
end result was a pretty mean ship, when encountered in numbers, that play up
the goblins love of mob-tactics.  :)

    So thus, if Herospace could be put into the proper light, it could
potentially shine as a nifty addition to SJ lore :)
