Since we know space storms and other space hazards will ultimately drain our starship shields…

#### Should we try to make that gameplay more interesting and challenging?

Our starship shields presently require no other technology type, (upgrades are optional, but desirable), and require only 1 of 3 fuel types, Sodium, Sodium Nitrate or Starship Batteries. Should starship shields now require additional technology types, protecting against additional hazard types? Should these require additional fuel types, in addition to our shields requiring Sodium, etc. to protect against impact damage?

#### Example:

Space ice storms require our basic starship shield tech for impact damage protection, in addition to (optional, but desirable) starship shield cold thermal protection for max cold damage protection. Space fire storms, space radiation storms, space toxic storms, and etc. require similar tech for maximum protection.

Should we find ourselves battling the stars and planets themselves? 🤔 _Hmm…_

### New star system type and planet type discovered…

An unstable star system due to an unstable planet on the verge of collapse. In the case of this particular planet, it has somehow been separated in two, so that the core is utterly exposed. Unfortunately, this is creating instability throughout the entire system, which is causing chaos for the citizens of this system.

So, depending on the severity of the situation, your job is to either help citizens escape the system, before it’s too late, or destroy the unstable planet, so as to restore peace, or somehow restore the planet, if possible.

Meanwhile, Todd at the local “Space n’ Shake” chomps down on Space Tacos. ‘Stable Asteroid #87497974884789084426.’ You see, Todd just saved the world, and so can you. Be like Todd!

“Space n’ Shake” would like to join the people in praising their unsung hero, Todd!
