Duck ya, that is all.
Other than the fact that I love the way the game is coming together.
Kinda, nobody has the know-how to make new tech (think technological regression) but they know how to use what they have although that varies planet to planet.
The link that The Soldier posted has basicly all of the backstory for the game.

"local" travel amongst systems simply requires the use of these wormholes. "non-local" travel amongst sectors requires Mass Effect-esque relays to throw you across the galaxy. The gates don't work, but the wormholes do because wormholes are natural and not man-made.
You know, I need to dig into the lore, is the situation with the gates something like EVE Online's lore of the EVE Gate? The EVE Gate linked back to the known galaxy after everything there was explored and settled. Settlers flooded the EVE galaxy until some sort of unknown event caused the gate to collapse, leaving tons of un sustainable colonies in the EVE galaxy stranded. As the colonies fell apart with only a few left with the resources to become sustainable, it took millennia before the settlers could reach a stage where they were capable of space travel again. Knowledge of the Milky Way that lay on the other side of the closed gate was lost by the time the colonies reached the timeframe that the game plays in, all the 4 Empires know is that it was what brought them to the EVE galaxy.
Is there something similar with Starsector? Was the Sector cut off by an event, leaving everyone stranded and over time the knowledge of how to use much of the technology was lost to the peoples?

I kinda went on a random knowledge rampage and came across bitcoin i had heard about it earlier but i thought "what the heck run a miner while i am asleep and AFK." Does anyone else mine or use bitcoin? If so, what pool would you recommend i am more than a little bit confused and some guidance and opinion would be helpful.
EDIT:
If you may be so kind, to consider joining my minipool over at triplemining It would be very nice

Not trying to attack your post as wrong just saying easier to breakdown the counterpoints and it is easier this way
Again not trying to hate on your ideas
No atmosphere, and limited water. It's hard to manufacture fuel without the necessary raw materialsSpectroscopic analyses shows that the moon has significantly larger reserves of Helium-3 and other useful elements locked in its regolith than the earth does. Helium-3 is highly sought after for fusion fusion plants could be used to power massive lasers used to drive solar sails or be transferred up to a ship for use in a fusion drive.

Mars has a CO2 rich atmosphere, and supposedly significant subsurface water.Just curious, what energy source do you plan to use? lol
Throw in an energy source and you have everything needed for manufacturing almost limitless fuel (CH4) & oxidiser (O2).

Thanks for all the support!
So, what are your plans for the future?I plan to attend Dakota State University in Madison, South Dakota (in the United States) my parents like it when i say i am going up there for "Cybersecurity" but I like to say that i am going for "Penetration Testing" because it is more accurate as to the field i am going into and the reactions I get from people are much funner.

« on: May 18, 2013, 01:26:25 PM »nah we dont really need more metal on this planet (except gold... everybody loves goldBut... but... but... it is SPACE!!! you can't argue with space!
there is more than enough aluminium in earth for us to mine.
if we are really eager for more than we should research deep sea mining which will also give us an amount equal or even more metal than we what we can allready reach.
