Maybe they could go and build an MMO without building the terrain. Talking like a terrian generator (Like in minecraft, but with no digging and smooth terrain), plants that grow, can be harvested and produce new plants. Same with animals. Then focus a lot on having a few factions and encouraging building factions. You could build anything from a small gang of thugs roaming the landside to a giant nation with 1000+ players united. I dont think permadeath would be a nice idea, as people are to scared of other people and will shoot on sight, but there should be penalties to dying. If the would could be generated and it could be one single big server it could be nice (Of course the "Megaserver" would be split into smaller areas where you would load parts of the megaserver like the chunk system in Minecraft and each region would have its own megaserver). What do you think?

Make the reactors single use. In real life you wouldnt refuel a nuclear reactor in space. Same with RTGs, they should degrade over time. The nuclear reactor should provide 100 E/s for maybe an ingame year (Or less if producing fuel only takes 5 minutes). The reactors should be throttleable in order to last longer or save for a few large kicks later on.
