Hey look, buddy. I'm an engineer, that means I solve problems.

Not problems like "What is beauty?", 'cause that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy.

I solve practical problems.

Still from David Lynch's 1984 Dune film showing three characters in desert stillsuits. From left to right: Paul Atreides (Kyle MacLachlan), Stilgar (Everett McGill), and Gurney Halleck (Patrick Stewart). Stilgar is speaking with intensity while Paul looks on and Gurney stands to the right. White subtitles at the bottom read: "Usul, we have wormsign the likes of which even God has never seen."

4 panels the first, Sam Neill as Dr. William G. "Billy" Weir looking quizzically at something, sci-fi background, flight suit, white t-shirt from the movie Event Horizon the second panel, is the warp core from Star Trek: The Next Generation, pulsing energy, railings, tubes, things of that nature the third, Sam Neill, after he has removed his eyes, because where they are going, they will not need eyes to see, looking off in the distance the forth, the wacky black hole spooky faster than light drive for the Event Horizon the conceit here is that he is disdainful of non-satanic faster than light mechanisms

Trying to figure out what direction I want to go with this. Want to make something that's scalable from ~20-60 minutes, just working on getting locations setup at the moment
Screenshot of UntitledSpaceGame (DEBUG) Resource indicators int he background, with Energy, Industry, Food, and Science A modal dialog that says the name of the location (Hermes), a viewport camera looking at that location, and a description that reads "A barren world scorched by the system's star. The surface is marked by impact craters. Can be exploited to gain Industry and Science" Action Buttons that say Build, Survey, Mine, and Close In the background you can see the Star and the Planet in the world view
