I was playing on "Stalinist Communism" or something. So I figured the guys in charge of Mass Driver tough he had more chances of surviving by not saying anything and hiding in a cellar than by disagreeing with his boss.

I don't think you qualify for Aurora Vet status until you've dropped a mineral packet on one of your own colonies.

A dictator can dream..
Oh, you can already do this....
In fact, it's a common mistake - you need to be VERY careful not to remove the last mass driver from a world which is receiving mass driver packets.John
