Empty Horizons 2.0

Got the WIP of the Vesta Free State up. Need to still mull over the history quite a bit so that's the most WIP part of it all. Otherwise its more or less the same as it was before.

@Commodore Robot

I could see the free state taking advantage of the proxy economies/black markets that come as a result of how the major powers tend not to trade with each other, but will trade with minor powers.

You note I only say major/minor powers when referring to non-terran societies, this is intentional since a solar society generally is going to be capable of manufacturing a defensive fleet and being able to self-sustain, lest you become a martian vassal or jovian protectorate.

I like that there's room for more belter factions, since ceres (one of the more iconic asteroids) is still open, and it will be interesting to see what comes of ceres.

It's far from impossible that a Terran nation, especially after 175 years can have spaceships, but I can't imagine there being that many due to having to make use of quite a bit of industry and develop the infrastructural demands.

Overall the idea is the asymmetry Terran societies have in contrast to the off-world societies that have developed. Mainly since even with severe population depletion on Earth in the 22nd century and population increases in factions around the solar system, Earth still comprises most of mankind.

In short yes, but I advise to avoid trying to make fleets of dozens of ships from earth.

Sudamerica has multiple spots still, only Brazil, Colombia and Chile have people who are playing as them or are currently working on their app.

I'd think it would be interesting to see a nativist Bolivia.

Added onto my post since it seemed too inappropriate to start the RP without a space battle. So I IC'd the Ida Expedition.

@Isotope, how is progress on your revisions to the old order history?

Empty Horizons 2.0

I've begun, I wrote post one. It's a bit slow, but it's since I am not sure if other people want to be martian or not yet so I instead used the post to introduce two characters. Haven't thought of the leader yet, so I just had the leader referred to by title.

Also sigma, you are accepted.

Life on Titan would have the property of drinking liquified methane like it's water since life on titan would make use of liquid ethane/methane the same way life on earth uses water.

If a human drank liquid methane, he/she would die a slow horrible death.

Europa's life would live deep under water in a highly pressurized environment and have no need for eyes.

The latter would justify having a pressurized aquarium placed somewhere, just hope the glass isn't easy to break.

Sure. As long as the US is keeping the canal I'm happy.

@Byrd Man

But what the US do in the situation that some colombians try taking the canal? I need to take into account the degree of retaliation.

At this rate, sure as fuck nothing made from Atari.

RCT 2's core game was great, but expansion packs were God awful. Adding nothing but shitty looking theming to the game that you couldn't even mix due to the arbitrary limits made worse because the sloth coaster is apparently so distinct from the swinging coaster.

RCT 3 I find suffers the inverse issue since core game is pretty boring until you can make water parks and aquariums.
