Hello everybody,
I am very excited about the revival of Blue Planet!
There is one thing that really has been bugging me since the first edition of BP: "Böse Strand". This is mighty pidgin German: Please call ist "Böser Strand" in the new edition - well call it something else. "Böser Strand" sounds really funny for Germans. Yes, "böse" means "bad, evil", but in a context like this, it really translate to "naughty". And now imagine such a big, bad badass megacorp like Hannover Industries calling some place "naughty beach" (oh, it is so naughty, naughty, naughty
).
Better alternatives IMHO: "Höllenstrand" (hell beach), "elender Strand" (miserable beach - and this is actually quite poetic - like a place a 17th century pirate crew might call it), "grausiger Strand" (gruesome beach, well, that might overdo it a bit).
Please change it, it makes me wince.

Thanks for that!
