Re: Orbital Colonies
new idea: LG points can be asteroids instead of stars. this makes since, since clutter tends to gather up at these points, and most of them have their own little asteroid fields. they can be beyond huge asteroids, to differentiate them from normal asteroids. then space colonies can be created on that special extra-big size (as long as their facility numbers are kept low)
or, they can be asteroids that are marked as constructed worlds. or, they can be constructed worlds that are planets but look like asteroids. or look like nothing, if thats possible. then you would just need some way to do something with them that would not involve randomly placed space colonies during map creation.
or, it can be a 2 part construction process, where its a constructed world that you need to blow into asteroids, that you need to turn into a planet. naw, thats just silly.
