Wilson I think that sometimes you forget that it's a roleplay and it's not about winning all the time. You don't need to be the best in any field to have fun.Personally I think the idea of a space nation is awesome. But rather then have advanced weapons and whatnot why not focus on having more epic industrial tech and such.On another note for those of you who like Sci Fi I'm going advertise for the other Rp much of this group does. Void Of The Stars. It's a crazy ass Sci Fi massup that I am really enjoying. Keyguy, Duck, Darkwolf, hacker, and myself are all in it.

I am focused on that. But realistically, with two or three more world wars, with the chance of another one breaking out, and with their own vulnerability, human nature might decide to lash out at the CI. The CI has to be ready to, at the very least, stop something before it can go boom and kill a major portion of their population. They do not have millions of people. They do not even have a hundred thousand. They are low-population, and cannot afford to lose people to a conflict on-world that they are not very connected to. They have contracts to companies for materials that cannot be found on Earth, or for things that are rapidly decreasing in availability. And because there are not any treaties or anything else to limit them, they are making sure that they can keep their side of their bargains, and continue to flourish.

In the future, Ceres is going to be an industrial paradise and a technological wonder. Massive biodomes that hold an entire city, with an ecosystem arrayed around it, with smaller biodomes for tundra and desert and everything else. Artificial seasons, night and day cycles with advanced holographic and lighting technology. A docking bay large enough to hold a fleet, with tubes leading deeper into the asteroid to shipyards and repair facilities, and tubes leading out at different points. 

But they have to get to that point first. I truly wish for that, but when there is war threatening all the time, one must make sure that someone won't run up and blow your front door open and set a fire.
