I am in pretty much the same boat as Gyrfalcon.
I would _love_ to play NA and I _will_ give it a try but I fear I will die of brain-explosion after less than a couple of hours :)

I, for one, look forward to trying NA (and failing horribly) for a bit then building a set of slide rules.  XD

It will be the first time I would have actually had to make a slide rule.  But a fuel tonnage/dry tonnage/delta-v one would be useful, as well as a total delta-v/distance/time one.

I'm really looking forward to NA, in the mean time I've capitulated and started another 5.6 game with my first attempt at running two races right from the start. Going pretty well and looking forward to them meeting to see how their very different design strategies might work against each other.

I couldn't vote...there was no 'Pondering my navel and how it collects so much lint while twitching out waiting for 5.7'...oh, and 'playing Emperor of the Fading Suns due to not wanting to get stuck in and then having 5.7 come out'...

Waiting for 5.70 ...
Fun Fact: The minimum engine power of any ship engine in Aurora C# is 0.01. The maximum is 120000!

Something tells me you won't be leaving your computer for a while.  Every time I start a new DF fortress, I forget what day/year it is. . .  Anyway, I was originally going to just keep exploring 5. 6, since I started playing it around the time 5. 7 was announced, but I decided with the changes to Sol and the new crew morale mechanics (which I cheered loudly when I read about them), I would just play Mass Effect trilogy again.  First biotic character I have tried, and it's better than I expected. . .

Somebody call me when we get a solid release timeframe for 5. 7? I'd be satisfied just knowing if I can expect a birthday present/Christmas present from Steve  ;) (my b-day is November  :P)

Well crap, last time I checked the calendar it was 9th of Hematite. . .  Anyway, I'm still waiting for the next update post.  I get more excited every time Steve teases us more :P

On a whim I started reading the Rigellian Diary.  Bad move.  On page 295 after 5 days and can barely stop to eat or sleep.  Crap, I'm supposed to move this coming weekend too...
