lets let the family decide. and yes, it can be bees, but it needs to be grown with a built in 'off' switch. Careless colonist can cause an ecological breakdown quite easily.

This is the way invasive species get introduced. Sterilize them.

I like this. its as simple as turning off the gene for breeding. Unless we make a really bad roll. Then we might have the issue were it becomes extremely fertile or asexual.

Or have superpowers.

It only has super powers if it is human. Look at Pokemon for an example of what I mean.

Mewtwo, dude.

I'm very pro party and sentry guns. The animal thing is alright in my book as well.

 I'll give it a week, see if my teeth itch. If I can figure out how to make it switch between avatars... In the meantime "They don't think it be like it is, but it do".

Last derail I promise. For today.

Mewtwo doesn't count as super powered. It uses the power natural to its ORIGINAL RACE, mew. Which is a psychic type.

Super powered creatures can use powers not native to its ORIGINAL RACE.

Mewtwo is just super strong.

I was asking about the slaves not the derails. We have limitless resources and the ability to make robot servants, so I ask por que?

No. In this case, we are dealing with a creature with the capacity to fight back and are far more numerous than us. Plus, even if we do enslave them, they will rebel quite quickly and we will have to deal with the colonist.

I could see the usefullnes of ensalving some organics, but only if the effort put into capturing the organics is less then constructing an army of robots to do the same thing, the work the organics would do that is not to capture the organics. This is likely not true with the moon people, but the avains could perform simple labour, and might be easy enough to capture that it could be worthwhile.

With some simple agricultural equipment provided by us they might be able to grow enough food to feed themselves and allow the surplus avains to do tasks for us. If we are going to enslave them I would suggest neurological implants allowing us to generate a severe pain reaction when necessery, as well as sending instructions to them.

I'm all for space warfare and conquering peoples... but with what? 

We have 5000 people, one nuke, a handful of light ships, and a bunch of police bots... and you want to attack a race with millions, if not billions of people.  I think we'd lose... very, very badly!  We have the colony up and running.  Lets focus on building up a military.

> +1 to the fighter drone space jet thingies!  Also +1 to making them look humanoid, as much like Iron Man as possible.

PS. What if these moon bases aren't the moonies homeworld?  Maybe what we're seeing is just a single outpost which is part of a large inter-system empire!

 I think we should upgrade our space based telescope. Spectrometers extra lenses, stuff like that . Also look at other stuff intermittely, so that they don't get suspicious. If things go wrong, we can always point it at the Sun. ( The original plan included the lenses being useable as planetary heating lenses, so it should do death sta just fine.)
