[QUOTE]Originally posted by Axeman 3D: [QB] I'm all for an orbital outpost to any colony, it makes great sense. You have a waystation for visiting supply ships or traders, a safe high-ground in the event of something unforseen happening on the planet, and all the benefits we get today from satellites. If I were a colonist or engineer exploring the surface, it would be nice to have a GPS system, back-up transport facilities and planetwide comms links, dont you think? I also dont think everything in space is going to be attacked by Klingons and baddies of all sorts, we're talking home-building and not invasion here. I think if we build a dedicated colony ship and not a bog-standard transport, it would be a one-way deal that would be disassembled upon reaching its target. Most of it would be landed, a portion left in space and the rest broken up for raw materials. Its antimatter core would be used on the planet as a power station, it's shuttlebays as hangars and workshops, and the rest used to make habitats for more colonists. If we think that standard transports would be a better idea, then we might think about what they would carry or how they would be adapted to the role with the most ease. I've started fleshing out an idea for a bulk transport that can carry large cargo containers and land them on a planet, or even carry mission specific modules for special use. [/QB][/QUOTE]
