It would be cool if we could colonize entire solar systems. Even asteriods and moons and stuff. And build space stations all over with difernet tasks like a lab or a mine or a colony on a space station.

But why? If you can barely survive as it is you're not going to make yourself weaker by spreading out. That's like somebody saying they're going to cut off their arm so they have less to feed.

I think it would be brilliant if you could colonize other plants, but as Sirbomber pointed out - we're talking about the last survivors of the human race. They hardly have the resources, population or motive to spread out like that.

Remember what happened when the original Edenists decided to split into two colonies to increase their chance of survival.... didn't work out too well, did it?

This sounded like you wanted a multipul starting planet choice.  like here, here, or there.  A interesting idea but then you might have to makes or tweak the story for each planet because the environment its self would have alot to do with the goings on.

The main story and the campaign will be about New Terra and Cythera. Other planets wouldn't fit in too well.

For Skirmish mode, however, it would be possbile. In that case the player would be allowed to choose from different planets with different environments, which may not stand in any relation to the original story.

Some problems might be caused by the techtree that we are making for Cythera and not some other totally different planet.

Well if we had a mode like the campain missions or what ever they were called but not then main campain, we could have a totaly new way of play. We could star out with a map of the know area from the explorations of the Casanoga before they found New Terra, then go to picking a landing site, making the colonies, exploreing the area of space around and then make space sations and stuff.

The point to new terra was that it was the closest that would support life.  They passed by alot of planets that couldnt you wouldnt want to land on them and try to live there because you would just be confined to the colony for the rest of your life.  Humanity can not survive in a cage.

well, seeing as how the blight terraformed new Tera, eventually it will run out of material to break down, and it would effectively starve to death

perhaps as the star ship is fueling on the gas giant they could come by this information (the sky dock was also a com relay), and thus would choose to go back to New Tera rather then risk another trip to the stars

New Tera would have a new atmosphere, but it still would not be breathable by humans, why? because of the intense volcanic activity would spew tons of C02 and sulfur compounds into the atmosphere, making it toxic, so from a game play stand point they would still have tubes and sealed buildings, and war would still be fought by robots

In the novella, only one starship was finaly luanched in time, yet there are two skydocks that were operational. If we are to have eden and/or plymouth back, we must think of an excuse as to WHY they are still alive. Did the other faction modify the Skydock to support life for 400 people, not just the regular 6 as the crew working to build the startship? Did they hide on one of New Terras moons? What?

well sustaining people in suspended animation in orbit would require a lot less resources than sending them off to another star

so I could see them adopting a wait it out strategy if they were not able to fully construct the star ship

The Skydock isn't the starship. It's just a satellite that allows launched starship modules to be built in to the starship. "Our Skydock will function as an orbital command post.  In addition to docking facilities for our launch vehicles ferrying components and technicians, it serves as a command and control facility for construction of our starship." Like the name of it kinda suggests.
But yes, there were two starships. One (Plymouth's, no matter which novella you follow) was incomplete, however. Maybe it was marginally completed so that it could get to one of the moons.

Two moons are shown at the same time in the vidio clip things. So there are two moons whether or not anything esle mentions them.

Well i would rather go by what the novella says because those might be disproportionate planets

why would it need to go to a moon when it can just wait it out in orbit?

Because they wouldn't be waiting it out.

I disagree.

Why? Becuse if some "accident" happens at for example New Terra and no one can survive at the planet, than everything depends on onther people on other planets/asteroids

How ever, if those other colonys where made beyond homeplanet, they are going to be run by CPU, not you. You could just set material sending, people shipment, food, earth and oxygen shipment and all these materials needed for building the base.

I think that this idea is good.(thumbsup)

I agree as well, but the colonies will be run by people. In game yes CPU but novella and other things it must clearly stae run by people. The other colonies need a human commander.

Why cant we control the other colonies dircetly to make a change, yet most of the time not run by you? I think that would be a good idea.
