Default Re: SE5, Tell Aaron what\'s on your Wish List

Add a new field to planets...gravity. Have a value of say, .5 G's to 1.5 G's (For example, a small planet would have a value of .7 G's, and a large planet would have 1.2 G's). If you started on a medium planet, your people would have 1.0 G's as their racial norm. If they colonize planets with 1.0 G's or less, they get optimal population/cargo/facility space. However, if they colonize planets with gravity values greater than 1.0 G's, the cargo/population/facility space would go down, etc, etc.

This could lead to racial traits, similar to advanced storage or hardy industrialists, which would allow a race to get optimal value from planets with different G values than their home planets. For say, 1000 racial points, you could colonize planets with 0.8 - 1.2 G's without reduction of optimal cargo/population/facility spaces.
