To other Known Space who said "no" to Kzinti, I just wanted to say *raspberry*

Pffffft. Told'ya!

I for one applaud the team for this one. Kzinti make an excellent KDF counter to Caitians. And contrary to what some of the other Known Space fans here think, Niven is actually pretty liberal in his policies toward using his stuff. He doesn't give an open invitation to rip him off, but he's always been rather friendly with Star Trek. So much so that in addition to the one episode of TAS, there was, once again, an episode of Enterprise that was schedule to be filmed for the next season before it was canceled. They've also shown up in a number of Star Trek games. So pfffffft.

I don't mind. I'm glad Kzinti are being added. Also I did some research, there are apparently sentient Kzinti on the Kzin Prime map of Ringworld. Kind of odd really. But it provides at least a little hope, not to mention excuse if they decide to allow female Kzinti.

There's just one thing I'd like to ask Cryptic. Please do not reveal the appearance of the Slavers. They left it open on TAS just enough that the photo shown may not have actually been a Slaver. Spock was merely speculating. The Slavers are suppose to be mysterious and I'd hate to ruin it. Granted it wouldn't affect Known Space's canon any, since it is a cross over. But still, I'd rather not know what they looked like.
