Colony types

[jaf]

what types of colonies do you want

[darthgently]

Cyclers that are also colonies; as subclass of "space colonies" I suppose.  But the idea is that a cycler type could be defined, and given the resources required being on board, that would automatically make the required burns to maintain the cycler "orbit"

All of these sound super fun but I suspect on release we'll probably 'only' have the ability to build giant space stations and anchored surface bases. Perhaps in DLCs we could see things like underwater exploration and airships/ floating colonies. Could be awesome!

Maybe after the game is released we can push for other colony types to be added in updates?

It would be cool to have floating "blimp" colonies for bodies with very thick atmospheres like Eve or Jool.

I'm only expecting surface anchored colonies and space colonies though, as those have been the ones shown.

I think all would be cool. All would be cool.

Would be very very cool if we could have  floating colonies on gas giants!

I want to build a network of asteroid cycler colonies that harvest nearby small asteroids to feed the machine on them to build a supply of escape pods for delivering passengers and cargo to destinations as they pass. 

Bonus points if they can railgun or "spinner-apolt" the escape pods towards the destination to reduce fuel supplies needed.

You missed "normal" colonies in the poll.  

I quite like the idea of underwater colonies, now you mention it!
