    Ello' lads and gals. I felt it is high time I finally make a colony -- and though it's not entirely exciting, ICly people are interested already. I believe I can produce a lot of roleplay on trying to start the colony up.

    I plan on making a simple space outpost with a proper medical facility -- something plain to offer. It generally will be used for more complicated medical problem solving to offer as a service, and as an affordable place to bunker down for a little bit. There will also be a living area will stores and all that. There will be security, and minimal weapons will be permitted -- such as small caliber handguns.

    The export with be ore mined from within asteroids in the belt, which is where the outpost will be stationed. Note that I do not plan on making this HUGE -- rather modest. I will include a rough diagram.

    Sorry for not saying anything in literally forever!
    The idea itself seems sound, in my opinion. I have only one thing to ask, though - how big would this structure be, if you can take a guess?

    Otherwise, I feel having a sorts of dedicated "medical centre" could be interesting, and see a bit of use.

    I do like the idea, but i'm curious if the colony has anything beyond its medical nature to attract players and roleplay? Maybe something like a nice park or a plotline of events to attract interest.

    I planned to add a nice park in the center as well as little stores (that could be ran by people -- so Olek could have her fashionista thing going on again) in the lobby. As for potential plot-lines, maybe an infestation of some sort of creature could happen aboard the station, planned by an organization to get rid of competition in the ore market. So on so forth!

    Furthermore -- I plan it to be no bigger than any other colony we've seen before -- though I will be implementing teledoors. Like I said, modest.

    So long as there's believable IC reasons for this thing to be made (Funding, motives, ect.), then I see no problems. Anything else we should know about? Starting money/equipment?

    I'm probably going to do a 'GoFundMe' type thing of StarNet to help fund it -- as well as dip into Omizu's stacks if she needs to. The motive is obviously to have somewhere other than a clinic to treat injuries -- as Omizu is quite tired of seeing the inability to give folk proper treatment in some cases. As for starting money/equipment, it will mostly be the funds from the 'GoFundMe' and whatever Omizu can spare -- and depending on how much she gets I plan to start with (in order of importance) the generators above all first, the drill to mine and at least keep the colony running from income, teleporters, medical technology, security equipment, and then misc. equipment to help for ease of access and easy living.

    So then the colony will be entirely built when it opens, or will players be able to visit as it's built?

    I plan on having it fully built, yes. If people visited without the atmospherical dome and a window shatters -- that's on me.

    Mhm. Sounds all well and good to me. So long as you fund it without any asspullin', everything's A-okay.

    Approved.
