First off, this post is not about what happened to the Androsynth and any possible relation they might have with the Orz. That topic has been discussed to ad nauseum elsewhere, and I never cared too much about it.
Recently, I was using the Guardian in a Super Melee game, and something occured to me. The Blazer mode was just like something out of a book I had read. I don't know how many people have read E. E. Smith's "Skylark of Space"(its older than dirt), but in the final battle of the book, our heros are attacked a huge huge enemy fleet. It is one globe-shaped ship against thousands. Since the book was written in the 1920's, the only weaponry that the Skylark(that is the name of the ship, incidentally) is a couple of machine guns that fire X-plosive shells. After awhile, the ammunition runs out and the Skylark resorts to ramming all the enemy ships.
I was just wondering if this is only a co-incidence or if the Guardian is based on the original Skylark.

Well, don't worry about it too much. Something tells me Star Wars Episode 1 wasn't a big influence on Star Control.

Oh good. That last post was only a clever ploy designed to attact interest. Maybe one day, when this thread is several hundred reply's long, I will get one of the designers attentions!!!
