You always wanted to become an enterpreneur. Now's the chance!

The Oroperrin Conglomerate has put up several newly acquired moons for sale!

Manager Name:
Colony Name:
Colony Site:
1. Excalibur Majoris III-a - A large moon comprised mostly of metallic debris and dust. Nondescript and with average mineral ratings, it's nonetheless located near several shipping routes and trade hubs, making communication with traders, police ships and mercenaries easy.
2. Falalaran V-b - A small moon orbiting a gas giant. It's mineral composition is vastly skewed toward valuable Rubidium and Electrium, although other metals and useful ores might be scarce, putting worthiness of mining operations into question.
3. 41448jt-88 I - This icy world is the only planet in orbit of the recently discovered 41448jt-88 red dwarf. Thick layer of nitrogen ice covers valuable deposits of ores both useful and precious, although its remote location can hinder logistics and trading.
4. Telgatod Minoris II-a - A large moon with lakes of liquid Citrium and deposits of other valuable resources. It is located at the border zone with the xenophobic and aggressive Cepharian Federation, turning any possible colonization into highly dangerous venture.

Colony of Nearctos (aka 41448jt-88 I)

So what if it's remote? That will only aid our bid to declare independence!

[Tyrant Leviathan]

Good ole colony again, this time space as opposed to is school creams-oceanic older days.


Yes, ice place for me too.

+1 because I like the colony name even though not so much the character name.

Yes, we will become the isolationist, xenoist, calcafursationalist bad guys we always should've been.

Maybe not super unexpected, but I wanted to put down a bid for a woman boss of an ice world, so?
I don't mind if someone uses part of my effort to "inform" their own.

much less low effort than mine.

Not by much it was pretty fast.   And I did a third of it just by rhyming.
If people complain too much about 'Elsa' I would be okay with Bon(-nie) Threndon.

You are Elsa van Helsing!

On the planet 41448jt-88 I, an barren world of nitrogen ice and frozen winds that call kill any man from exposure, you shall create your mining colony, Nearctos!.

The initial mineral survey scans reveal abundance of Tritanium, Polygranite, Saltium, some Ferrite, Morphium, Citrum, Electrium and trace amounts of everything else.

You start with 100.000 Interstellar Credits to your bank account, and the colony comes with pre-manufactured Fusion Reactor, Storage Yard and Living Quarters.

So...

Scratching out a few calculations we don't have enough energy capacity to run both facilities unless we pick the Mineral Processor, as housing overhead only leaves 375 capacity.

(Haspen, is it intended our first choice to be a non-choice?!?)


Mineral looks like it would suit our most abundant elements a little better, too, although I'd like to be a Tritanium supplier more than importer.
Current market data suggests the Citrium refinery products will sell higher today, but we don't have an estimate for volatility yet.

[Haspen]

Yes I derped my maths there. Basic reactor upped to 500 v;

If we're way out in the outskirts of inhabited space, we're probably going to get far fewer ships heading over. So, we should go for the materials that are more expensive, considering we can't get enough traffic yet to make more common things worth it.
