@Yuckwitte

Also, most ships would probably have ion motors. Fueled motors would be horribly outdated by the date of the game happening.

@Yuckwitte, actually, we’ve changed the names so that no real chemical element is included.

@Absolutis, 400 billion stars, small? :p

[...]We might consider what we call the LW universe is a single galaxy[...]

Well, this sounds small. Maybe a single galaxy/game?

what about adding “thorium” as an element that can be used for medium-low tech starship fuel. It is within the bound of physics/chem. (whether feasible or not…) and I think it would be a cool addition but you might have another resource for it…

The point is we don’t represent space between galaxy in the maps. We might consider what we call the LW universe is a single galaxy. The places where dark matter is abundant would then be out of the boundaries of the map. And you can’t go there. In the area where you can go, it isn’t abundant.

Well, my point is that if (a bit less then) 90% of the universe is made up of dark matter, even if it IS between galexies, shouldn’t it be relatively abundant?

A bit less than that, but basically, it’s somewhere between galaxies – not the kind of place you usually go. Besides, since no one seems to be able to make heads or tails of whatever it is, I figured we could add to the confusion without feeling too bad about it ;->

Isnt the theory of darkmatter that 90% of the universe is made up of darkmatter… Or somthing like that?

Use of resources: required to build advanced buildings / ship parts / space station parts. Commerce isn’t the primary objective.

Use shouldn’t really be linked with species. Most of the tech graph is human so all players should have an equivalent use of resources whatever their population composition is.

Dark matter should be rare.
