Another side query on Morphs. Are there any individuals that are born as morphs (perhaps the bodies are offshots of genetically-altered humans), or are there no "Altered Humans" in the game... but people that are born as "flats" and then take on a morph ...

Just on a curious whim... Was there any attempt (or evidence of attempt) by some nation or hypercorp or other party to leave the Solar System via STL travel and attempt to establish an extrasolar colony? It looks like there was certainly a lot of deve ...

Beaming oneself. How commonplace is that practice? What I guess I'm asking is, is the support structure (the equipment to recieved and resleeve an Infomorph or AI, and the, uh, "Parking Lot" so to speak for bodies) fairly commonplace? Or is it largely t ...

Given the technologies described so far, the ability to digitally store oneself in particular... how long does your average transhuman (assume what amounts to a "quiet normal life") live? Are there individuals that remember the Earth when you could still ...

Are there spacecraft equipped with near sentience or full self-awareness? Seems like the technology exists (AI, Infomorph, Uplifted critter mind, etc.), but given what happened with the TITANS the notion of giving a large mobile machine self-awareness ma ...

Having started reading Bank's "Against a Dark Background" brought this thought up... ...the Pandora Gates aside, is there any other TITAN-based artifacts that they left following the Fall? I presume they are rare, adventure-worthy, and barely comprehen ...

I noticed that in the interview you mentioned you will not have a weight/encumbrance mechanic in the game. Is there any mechanic that will be featured to cover how much a player's morph can carry, or do we use common sense? I see it going both ways and ...

So what is the overall status of these "Firewall" folks that work so hard to keep transhumanity safe and sound? Is this a recognized group that has been created by (but largely kept operating out of the controls of) various factions to keep doomsday at b ...

Mind you, there's a lot of neat stuff in the Solar System to play with before we all go through the Pandora Gates... but just for curiosity sake what are the extrasolar colonies like? Do the gates that are reliable lead to lifeless worlds, or ones that c ...
