Colonizing Empty Planets?

[Supreme Cmdr]

I got two words for you folks: multi-player

The world and characters I build back in the late 80's and early 90's will continue until the dawn of time or until I decide to introduce new races and castes. BCO is a MMOG version of BCM in which each and every caste plays an important role in the game. Especially seemlingly harmless castes such as explorers, traders, colonists. Who, believe it or not are going to have more strategic power than ANY of the races on the server. Period.

For one thing, unless you are one of those races, you can't own property. And they control all the stations, bases, cities etc.

Chew on that.

In fact, which reminds me, I need to update the BCO faq.

Sounds awesome. And I have no doubt that BCO is going to be an incredible game, but I (and I only speak for myself) was just curious if they served any purpose in the single player game. I guess that answers my question - thanks!

In answer to a question WAY up the top, there's no reason why someone creative couldn't create an interesting and fun mission set for the Explorer Caste. Or the Diplpomat Caste. Learn to use GBS-II and you can create almost any mission. It's extremely flexible.
