Default New idea for se5

3 new ideas, really, but they are all linked:

1- A component that can be built in orbtit of an uncolonised planet to gradually modify that planet's conditions and/or atmosphere.

2- A game setup option "colonise only [conditions] or better" where 'conditions' can be set to anything from optimal to deadly (Or whatever replaces the conditions description in se5).

3- Different environmental criteria for different races: Humans like warmish, wettish planets with approx iG gravity. The same is unlikely to be true for all races- perahps the Jraenar idea of an 'optimal' world would be an unpleasant boiling hot, dry, high grav place, and the Cue Cappans would want a far wetter, cold world than we would like.

Used together, these three things could create all kinds of interesting game situations.

Default Re: New idea for se5

Didn't like the wish list thread? Aaron actually reads that thread, so he would be far more likely to see this in there than in this thread.
