Hm, high volcanic activity (and hence geothermal power) plus metal deposits...TH 965-966 e-a sounds pretty good. We're basically robots, without organic needs or whatever, correct?

"Indeed. We do however transport organic matter in the cargo bay, but there is no explicit need to use it."

// The on-board manufactory also doubles as a small cloning facility, but humans are much more resource dependent than robots, as well all know.

Hm...

Land on TH 965-966 e-a and begin setting up a colony. (We can set up colonies elsewhere later, correct?

Semicour 3 (TH 965-966 e-a) - x1
TH-965-966 c - x1

// Not to be picky or anything, it's essentially your game, all things told, but why would you want to mine (this being the first problem in and of itself) something that doesn't even have anything noteworthy on it? (unless you meant one of its moons, in which case I take that back)
// Bay 12, your logic is surprising at times. But I figured that the moment I registered here.

// Yes. For all I care you can even visit the previous systems like ROAN-44.

((It's a bit more complex than that, but: How would you even get that deep? There's kinda a lot of gas on top...))

// In my opinion you would get said minerals easier, in bigger amounts and with more efficiency on any other moon or planet, but if more people are going to agree with you, I'm not going to argue.

MINE THE PHOSPHOROUS GAS GIANT
Maybe.  What composition is this gas giant?

// How would you even want to detonate it? You don't have any explosive ordnance. (not yet)
// And even if you did, you would need no less than Death Star's ion cannon to complete annihilate a planet.


MINE THE PHOSPHOROUS GAS GIANT
Maybe.  What composition is this gas giant?

"Primarily phosphorus, but also nitrogen, methane and noble gases. The core is silicate."

alright so:

-we probably need noble gases to make an ion cannon (go suck some up now)
-silicates will be needed later when we're building automatic things, so leave them be for a moment
-methane is evil and needs to be destroyed
-to destroy methane, we need an ion cannon, and we're not going to mine minerals which aren't exploded -> land on the ice giant and build a planet-based ion cannon from what we have there

i think we have a good compromise here
