Ahem  :unsure:
I think what he meant was: "We are working on a story, as soon it looks good enough, we are going to post it here so that you guys can edit/look for flaws/give your oppinions." -- The story will be posted soon.

By the way Stormy, I think they can't "give their ideas" like that. At least, I think, if they see something posted, they will be encouraged (or maybe forced) to tell what they think the story should be about. You (stormy) more than anyone should know that it is a hard work.

One important thing I want to point out: I don't want to do something in the dark or away from the community which I think is great, I just want to have some concrete accomplishment. This way, people will see seriousness in OUR work -- our here standing for everybody.

Here's an idea, but I have no idea how to get it to fit with the original novellas very well. Whatever colony is left behind on new terra had an incomplete spaceship right? So maybe they can use that as a habitat but just can't go anywhere. Maybe they could wait out the blight in orbit? Have a sorta "Return to New Terra" type of idea to it. Mind you, there is that whole issue with the children's module and whatnot to deal with. Maybe ask someone who's more familiar with the original works.

yes, zanco is right we arent trying to exlude the community, we just need a little time and we will post it  (thumbsup)

stormy, I think now would be a good time to delete this thread until we can have something to post.

[Stormy]

Hmm, It was hidden from my view, Thanks for the reminder that it is still there leeor_net.

Ok, but shouldn't I close it for archive's sake?

I'll inject my idea in hopes of keeping this thread alive. This is the same thing I posted in the "Outpost: Genesis Info Leak".

Perhaps the colonists on Conestoga II (the ship that was built on New Terra, and I just made up that name) pick up a random transmission (like some random news broadcast) from the planet Frontier colonized.

This could happen halfway withing the story, after your colony is well established ("Tutorial" missions over with). The scientists at the New Eden advanced lab (there I go with names for the new colony) try to track the signal. All the skeptic's conjectures that its an old Earth transmission are dissipated when the lab publishes that it originated in the Orion system (other possible locations: Sirius, Epsilon Eri, Procyon, Kapteyn's Star [Don't use Alpha Centauri as that is rather close to Earth and Consetoga probably scoped it already]).

Maybe it could tie in to using the multiple-planet gameplay mechanics that were theorized a few pages back. Please comment.

There needs to be russians lol

[Stormy]

No offence, but it is best to not decide on anything until we release the novella. I am locking this thread until later, Sorry for the inconvience, and Freeza, enough with the russians  :rolleyes:
