After reading several other RPG books, I'm turning my attention back to Blue Planet. I picked up and read the intro fiction for First Colony last night, and then realized it was the second supplement released. As anal as it may be, I want to read the supplements in order -- so once I figured out the order of the supplements, I started reading the first one, Fluid Mechanics.
I'm skimming a fair bit of Fluid Mechanics, as I don't really find equipment lists and gear descriptions all that interesting. I'm reading bits and pieces here to get a better idea of the nature of Blue Planet technology, but I'll leave the reading of specific items for when I need to bring them in.
I'm actually looking forward to quickly getting through Fluid Mechanics so I can get back to First Colony (which is all about Haven). After that, it'll be Frontier Justice, Natural Selection and Ancient Echoes. By the time I'm finished reading the last supplement, I'll either be so sick of Blue Planet that I won't want to play or I'll be dying to get a game underway.

I'm actually almost done Ancient Echoes (like 10 pages left). While I admit it's probably one of the smaller books it went pretty quickly.
It reads well and makes the idea of a Cete character a lot more acceptable.

They basically say that because of the technology available there's nothing a Cete, fin or otherwise, can't do that a humanoid in the same situation could.
In fact they state that because of the customizability of remotes a Cete will often be even more effective in specific land-bound situations even when compared to humanoids.
Just think on this: Every Cete, natives aside, have been using remotes as extensions of their own bodies virtually since the day they were born. Their skill and ability with remotes is unparalleled and allows them to do just about anything. Heck, they even explained how to include Cete spacers.

Cool. Still, the lack of legs, arms and the inability to speak in English without some form of translation device is going to be hard to wrap my head around. And I doubt I'm the only one.
Maybe I'll have a better understanding once I've poured through Ancient Echoes (probably in another month or so, seeing as it's the last of the supplements).
