[quote=@Space Boyfriend] [@Emma] Cool. Ok, so some questions: [list] [*] So are the space stations stationary? The Human race seems to be looking for a new Earth, where are the stations now? [color=ed1c24][b]They are stationary, and set in a planets/moons gravitational fields, so they orbit like a satellite. Though they can be moved, of the need arises. When planets come up on radar that have the similar composition, and livable conditions as old earth, a specialized crew is sent out to scout and research the planet. They typically are sent by shuttle, but they are put into stasis for longer journeys, and monitored by ship AI until they reach their destination. Station locations are varied, and I will elaborate more on them in the OOC. But Station 5 is located in _____ Galaxy orbiting the planet Cosma. Cosma is home of one of the intelligent aliens I was planning for the RP. [/b][/color] [*] And who are the other Alien species and why aren't they able to send us in the right direction for a planet to call home? [b][color=ed1c24]I was thinking of making only one or two alien races, and they would not be as technologically advanced as the human race. Basically before contact with humans, space flight and travel was a foreign concept to them. They would not know any planets for Humans to settle on. I was also going to make the Alien races home planet unlivable for humans, due to crushing gravity, temperatures, and unbreathable air. So it was basically impossible for humans to take over and colonizes there planet anyway. [/color][/b] [*] Is Station 5 one of the places the elites/wealthy of Earth went to or was it one designated for those last humans/their donated progeny? [color=ed1c24][b]Station five was a mix, of elites and last humans. Though that was over 1000s years ago so it has little meaning in the present time. The donated Progeny as you put it, were sent to each station. [/b][/color] [*] If the elites are there, is the same disparity still present on the station? [color=ed1c24][b]There is always disparity in every society, but elites are not necessarily the wealthy anymore, rather they are the educated, and people with specialization such as doctors, scientists, and engineers. Other elites would be the people with connections and power, so police, government officials, and crime lords. [/b][/color] [*] Are the stations still in contact with each other? [color=ed1c24][b]The stations are all in contact with each other, except for number 2 which was lost after an unknown plague basically killed everyone about 400 years ago. The colonies also have contact through radio, but only with the stations closest to them. [/b][/color] [*] (not really a question) I feel like 20 years might be unrealistic amount of time to build a bunch of space stations capable of housing millions of people, unless they were already nearing completion when humans realized how dire their situation was and were re-purposed. [color=ed1c24][b]...Lets just say they had been building the stations before hand...And building stuff was fast since technological advance of the future blah blah.[/b][/color] [/list] I'll leave it there for now, but I'll probably have more :) [/quote]
