Colony on Jupiter?

Are you playing DA? I never saw anything like that in DL, but the idea is neat, except...

Does the UI somehow show the new colony on a moon of Jupiter? If not, there's some back story seriously missing about whether someone figured out how to build massive-scale habitats for the Jovian environment or the new colony is a heavily gene-modded branch who swim around in that surreal soup that might not even have a solid core.

No, it is a random event that is also in DL.

It was just random chance that it was Jupiter, it could have been any planet in the galaxy.

Class 0 planets are generally such that no significant population or infrastructure could be developed... but here's an interesting thought: you can still mine them, their moons, their rings, and whatever else may be in orbit! What if those class 0 planets were more than just eye candy, and instead acted like asteroid fields that you need a special tech to properly access?

I havent had this exact thing happen to me, but one of the minor races had an identical solar system to that of Sol. Their main planet was on Mars(Jessuins V), their second colony(i was surprised as well) is on Mercuy(Jessuins III), and there was a third planet i colonized that was a class 28 at the end and it was Jupiter(Jesuuins IV). Earth had a class of zero and was flipped, enlarged and had a purple ring.

Quite an interesting sight.

TGE, are you saying you had a map where the Terran homeworld shared a system with the Jessuins and they had three colonies in that system?

I think he was meaning a mirror system to Sol. He mentioned it at the Core earlier.   

btw Congrats on your first meta game G.W.. May there be many more.

That would be really cool. That way you would be able to get more our of the nearly uninhabitable areas that you might get stuck in. Now you could crank out more stuff from that one world instead of having multiple worlds to do the exact same thing.

Yeah. Mining colonies on Io and stuff like that.

Someone's seriously gotta suggest a "Xeno Mining Colony" tech branch to Brad...
  

Didn't you do that just now?
