A big part of why I say that gathering info is part of the fun is because I love gathering info and putting it in the wiki for others to use.
One of the examples is the Cyrene mission page (not info I gathered, that was mostly @Neuromancer the past few weeks). It has a map with popup boxes...
Nice info there Ed and you mentioning taming should make a few people pretty happy, but I'm not holding my breath on that one just yet.
Funny though that you see Kim as MindArk personnel while he is trying very hard to convince us he isn't :)
I think that being able to transport stuff from one planet to the other is in some ways hurting the economy of the smaller planets for sure (like the sweat example you gave), but on the other hand it is helping them as well as the stuff created with the sweat is most likely going to another...
Of course no idea what is possible, but wouldn't it be nice to just spawn 1 of the creatures anywhere on the planet, this way it would be a bit of a hunt and if it was killed without someone posting an image, well to bad I guess.
