“Space? There’s an app for that!”
Conclusion…
Why put NMS on smartphones? Because we’d reach all! Why make every galaxy truly unique? Because we’d provide any real reason to travel beyond a single galaxy. Why add a multiverse of parallel universes and underworld mirrorverses? No universe would be complete without such madness. Why add a basin of creeks, rivers and waterfalls? Words can’t describe the beauty and potential we’re missing. Why do more with space? Because while we have focused so much on planets, we have focused so little on space.
We humans seek life on other planets, because it is our curiosity to explore.
But…
If we could even manage to travel out that far from our own star system, which would require light-year travel to our nearest star system, (Alpha Centauri, our nearest star system, with Proxima Centauri b, our nearest exoplanet, 4.2 to 4.4 light-years from Earth, a distance that would take about 6,300 years to travel using current technology), and we may even require much longer travel if then exploring the other surrounding star systems, and don’t even get me started on trying to reach and explore the nearest ‘habitable zone’ of our nearest galaxy…
What happens if we do find other lifeforms?
Are they friendly, are we friendly? Do we educate them, do they educate us? What would we learn from them, what would they learn from us? What would they be like, what would we be like? Would they become our science experiments, or would we become their own? Would we dissect their future spawn, find ourselves at war? Consume us, or would we consume them? Considering our proven track-record…
But Crim, this is NMS. Nothing occurs like that in NMS. We have friendly encounters…
Should we have dangerous encounters with alien NPCs in NMS?
