Space Colonization

[Myroria]

But those iron companies are producing just iron. Other things like precious metals and other rocks would be sold along with iron. But oops, I forgot, the fatally flawed resource system we have forbids me from multitasking.

It'd begin more expensive, yes, but once I send back the vast amounts of iron and other materials I am the project would soon pay for itself. The idea of space mining in real life wouldn't have gotten as far as it did if all these reasons against it weren't able to be overcome, would it?

[Gulliver]

All those other precious metals and rocks could be obtained terrestrially for a lower price. And the vast amounts wouldn't pay for themselves, because there is already vast amounts on the planet's surface. If anything, it'll just devalue the material, earning you even less money.

And as far as space mining has come, there's a reason why it's planned for 2040 at the soonest possible date. And there are lots of ideas that really don't make much sense which continue to persist against all reason.

[Myroria]

Fine then. Can I at least have a space colony?

[Daimiaen]

I think the only fair solution is to put this to a council vote.....as the implications of this effect us all....particularily those for whom the potential devaluation of iron etc. will impact the most.....

[Feniexia]

Hmm...that´ll be an idea. However, I´ll be for it in any cases. It´ll be a very good improvement to RP, and it´ll add a new dimension.

[Gulliver]

Aye, that's what they always say. But in the end it just devolves into endless arguments because, as it has never been done in real life, no one really has any idea what ought to happen or just how things will work out.

[Myroria]

Limiting a country to eight resources has not been done in real life.
Power armor has not been done in real life.

And I heard King Rat was allowed to keep his power armor because they're an essential part of his RP. Well, space colonies are just as essential to me as power armor is to him.

[Gulliver]

Well, as I noted before, it's a matter of scale. Said power armor are less than 20 in number, and will soon cease to function, removing them from RP except in legends of old...

This is the creation of a permanent space colony, transporting large quantities of goods as regular business.

And hey, I don't like the resource system either. But one bad policy shouldn't be used to justify more.

[Myroria]

I just said I wouldn't transport goods if I was allowed to at least have a space colony.

[Gulliver]

What exactly do you mean by "space colony" anyway?

[Myroria]

I mean something like this:



Except with as many buildings like that as say, a small town.

Nothing too huge, just something to brag about to people with large armies that fail to get into space.

Well, they obviously aren't all gonna be exactly like that; there's going to be a geodome where people can skygaze and talk about things and there's going to be some larger buildings, but the basic premise is the same.

[Bustos]

Are you going to create a NS for this or no?

[Myroria]

Probably not, but if you would like me to I would. Warfare in space would be horribly deadly, by the way. If any bullet hits you, you're dead. No questions, no exceptions. Dead.

[Bustos]

I would be against it if you did create one.

Personally, I am ignoring it on basis of you not having the resources to do it.  But then again you do not need me to recognize it to continue your RP.

[Myroria]

Go ahead. As you said, I don't need your approval to continue my RP.
