I was wondering if TEST has plans to nominate a planet as its home planet where Testies would build the bases and provide mutual protection for org mates. If so, I think it should be in a system with sufficient resources like a Gas Giant for fuel harvesting and preferably an asteroid field for an alternative mining zone.
Test Home Planet
- Thread starter Foible
- Start date
I think it's way to early to say, mate. Still, those are (probably) things to look out for. I'm certainly looking forward to having our own planet. Or moon, I'm not picky.
I think all we need as a moon or the like, A full side planet would be hard to claim, hold, and defend. A small moon will have more than enough room for any number of us. and honestly, that would even be more then we could most likely handle.

I'm game for claiming moons, the smaller surface area would let us claim more space or even multiple moons around a single or multiple planets. These could act as forward bases for planet-side operations like mining or further colonization. Or we can just settle for being Moon-Men aboard our Moon-Bases drinking our Moon-Shine.
If they let us build space stations we can put one next to our moon, that would be cool.

There was a post by Montoya a while back, advising that some thought had been given to this and a likely candidate selected (if I recall correctly). It's too early for that location to be announced as we will want to establish a presence there before disclosing that to other organisations, but don't worry, it's in hand.
Awesome.
Of course, it's not going to matter until, like, 6.0, at this rate.

Update: Apparently the plan has changed since I last tracked this topic. Montoya's latest plan is shown below:

Approaching is nice. So exciting watching the stars form a star. Having a spacecraft becoming a Citizen anywhere.

NONE OF THEM. We skilled pilots and drunk friends should stay in the stars as God intended

I'm not sure a single moon would fit all of us. Also, consider the fact that we need diverse ecosystems for mining, farming, scuba diving and whatnot. Breathable atmosphere would be a huge plus, also.
We need a large moon or a planet in the Goldilocks zone.

Could always see how much of a moon we can collectively buy by just picking up a load of neighboring plots.

Yes, yes, all of them, but you have to start somewhere. TEST is not big enough to take all the systems, all at once. We need to, at least, bite off the verse one system at a time. I say we take the Tiber system first. It's a strategic system, lots of scrap and other resources and we'll be hailed as heroes before they flee before us as conquerors.
We all know there's no way we'd get that far.

I'd imagining more of a pile of ships, with maybe a few drunk testies, and half a distillery burning away inside the remains of a starfarer.
