In the patched Galactic Bloodshed (the version where you can live on gas-
giants and so on...), the game put me, a water-breather, on planet 2 in the
Betelgeuse system.
The game continues for a bit. I evolve. I explore. I build ships. I fly
to the first planet in the system.
It is exactly the same as my planet, even down to the owned sectors.
But wait! There's more!
Not only is it a copy of my planet in every way except my mobilization and
my building of ships, BUT I CAN CONTROL THE POPULATION AND USE ITS RE-
SOURCES! It *IS* me! It is just as though I colonized a planet that looks
exactly like my own!!!
AAAAAARRRGGGHHH!!!
How in hell do I fix this one?
For those curious, Betelgeuse-I was an airless asteroid (I saved the output
from makeuniv -v...)...
