NAME
  [0] profile -- racial profile
  
SYNTAX
      profile

DESCRIPTION
  This command prints out a short summary of your race's major characteristics.
A short explanation of the profile follows:

The Thing -- This means your race is mesomorphic, like John Carpenter's 'The
	Thing'.  You will receive certain bonuses, such as a high birthrate,
	above-average fighting ability (as well as the ability to absorb your
	enemies' population), and the ability to grow and launch spore pods;
	but you will also have a very low intelligence.

Infection/birth rate -- the rate at which your people reproduce themselves.
	If this value is .5, each turn (resources willing) your population
	will increase by 1.5.

# of sexes -- This is the minimum population a planetary sector must have
	before the population will increase.  Colonies with fewer than this
	amount will not be successful.  Example: human beings must have at
	least two members to be a successful colony, while members of the
	Cetellan race ("Literature", by Robert Chansky, in 
	~smq/public/alien.pornography) must have at least 35.

Technology -- This represents the technological achievement of your people.
	Certain types of ships cannot be built without the appropriate
	technology.

Avg Intelligence -- This is the average IQ (human standard scale) of the
	members of your race.  Technology will increase by IQ/100 each turn.

Mass -- The average weight of individual members of your race (in Standard 
	Units).  This is used in mass exchanges in ships (i.e., a heavier
	ship moves more slowly for the same amount of fuel) in the ``load''
	command.

Metabolism -- The speed at which your race ``operates''.  A higher metabolism
	means your race produces commodities at a correspondingly higher
	rate.

Adventurists -- This has to do with migration of your race across the 
	face of a planet.  It represents the percentage of the population
	that wish to move elsewhere.  More sedentary races will have
	a lower value, while energetic, conquering races (like 'The Thing')
	will have a higher value.

default scope -- The scope changed to when the user types ``cs''.

planetary conditions -- This is a list of the atmospheric and temperature
	conditions perferred by your race.  A planet that deviates from
	these conditions by a sufficient amount will be unlivable by your
	race.  Planetary conditions are displayed with the ``survey'' command.

Relations with other races -- The current relations with each player is
	displayed: neutrality, alliance, or war.
