Ok, I hope no one important reads this until DF is properly finished but I was thinking what sad state of sci fi games there are out now and why can't toady do to that genre what he did for rpg sims?  It could be "realistic" like dwarf fortress where you take a space colony and build it up.  But in space there is almost an infinite ability to randomize encounters.  Different spaceships show up or different planet/asteroid/station events happen.  It doesnt have to be dwarves but it could and trade would be almost vital for food. Then you have to fight space pirates.  IF it was simmed just like DF then I would look forward to the part where you build ships out of spare or built parts and send them out in your fleet.  I hate pre designed crap so every ship would be unique until you got an assembly line going.  This is completely possible with what is around now but would take a lot of imagination, which, if all of us playing ascii have no lack of.  Your thoughts?  I seriously had to change my pants when I thought of it.
Sincerely,

Rather than colonizing a mountain, you could colonize a whole planet....A really interesting concept, although I think Toady has many other things to work on.

Yeah, I know he is busy, I was talking to everyone else.  And colonizing a planet would take a long time.  Just as long as colonizing a Dwarf fortress planet. but thats not the point. its a colony where things go wrong.  That is the fun part. in Spaaaaaaaaace!!!

Just modify all the text files so that every name/title starts with "Space ".

"Yes, the Space Fisher is bringing in some fresh Space Turtles!  We can make some Space Trade Goods from the shells and trade them to the Space Elves."

Ok, but we also have to have the golems repeat "DANGER WILL ROBINSON. DANGER!"

I got a great scenario "Metiorite/Supply module/Shuttle collides with XXXXX Module, Module depressurizes/Station depressurizes"

But... Space Elves don't like natural bio-matter products.
