      Fallowing the Renaissance european elites became fascinated by the Ancient world - and for good reason, a lot was lost in Europe after the fall of Rome. The Enlightenment started bringing education to the masses and the elites decided what would be studied. The industrial revolution changed the priorities of educational institutions. Europe kept a lot more of the old enlightenment ideas for a lot longer. The US on the other hand, especially when there is no single federal governing body that can mandate a centralized curriculum...
      Don't get me wrong, you're very likely to find a lot of people Splat's age here in Europe not knowing who Jason was, but I'm willing to bet there are a lot more in the US.

    You don't add guns to your current modules but ad in new gun modules. So you could of added more guns at the end.

    Finished Space Pirates and Zombies (first one, since the second one kinda sucks) recently, for the second time, and desperately wanted more of the same. So I bought this game. Apart from the ugly ships, which is often the case with block building mechanics, it hasn't really disappointed. Really wish there were more weapon variety, but somehow it still works, since you can upgrade the plasma weapons quite a lot, changing how they actually work visually as well as statistics wise. I know you get beam weapons later too, but I almost have the Leviathan class unlocked now (biggest ship layout) and still only plasma and missiles.
