I've removed the VS logo - it disturbs the flow of the page. Somebody with wiki skill replace it with a scaled-down version, and have it float to the right. --Desplesda

I've noticed a certain similarity between the factions and Bruce Sterling's book, Schimatrix. Mechanists and Shapers... could someone verify that and insert it to this excelent game? --damjancd

While there are clearly similiar trans-humanist themes at play, similarities between particular factions and the referenced work are not intentional. Prior to reading the above, I must admit to ignorance of the existence of Bruce Sterling and all of his works, including his Shaper/Mechanist universe. My only knowledge of said universe is derived from having now read the wiki entry for said universe. If the rather terse wiki entry for the Shaper/Mechanist universe is accurate, then, while both the VS and Sterling Shapers are gene-smiths and the VS Mechanists (actually a nickname for a group going by "Mandate for Corporeal Perfection via the Abandonment of Flesh") and Sterling Mechanists both engage in cybernetic augmentation, both name sharing pairs of societies appear to be rather divergent (e.g. VS libertarian Shapers vs. Sterling aristocratic Shapers, VS Mechanist fundamental desire for corporeal embodiment beyond flesh vs. Sterling Mechanist existence as computer simulations). This would seem particularly true for the VS Mechanists, who are not remotely the technophiles the Sterling Mechanists appear to be (from my admittedly very limited knowledge), rather they are primarily inspired by a religious conviction that flesh is a prison, eternally rotting - all else is secondary.

[edit] Licence ?

Hello,

What is the code licence of this game? Regards, Yann 17:43, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

The game code and content are licensed under the GPL. I believe that the music is dual-licensed as GPL and CC-NC-SA 1.0, but please check the standalone license in the music directory (see SVN or install dir) to confirm. -Fadookie ^Talk 10:20, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
