I have recently been tossing the idea of requesting a Satellite or Docking Ring for JiangXi around my head, the reason for this you ask? To expand on the JiangXi story-arc of recovery and rehabilitation of the planet after the attack by an 'Enemy of the Coalition'. The Coalition in the past hasn't used Docking Rings due to the paranoia of the past leaderships about 'House Influences' and such. However the current Government is a much more open one to diplomacy and reason (example: burying the hatchet with The Order) and can see the advantages offered by the installation of such technologies for the purposes of shipping supplies and people to & from the sick world.
It would be a mostly 'buy point' of items that would be useful in it's recovery and for colonial interest. Some of the items would/may include: Terra-forming Gases, Refugees, HazMat Containers (smuggled in), Gaian Wildlife, Fugitives (RP'd as political criminals seeking asylum) and perhaps Food Rations (to feed the population). Further POSSIBLE commodities could include Docking Ring Parts (upkeep of the ring/construction of it).
I am unsure exactly what it would 'produce' aside from perhaps Ordinance (If accepted in-game by the Devs), suggestions would be appreciated by folks during this brainstorming phase. Right now it's RP'd as 'Specialized Atmospheric Ships' are being used to transport goods to/from the planet which in the long run isn't economically stable and can be considered expensive due to fuel costs.
I would appreciate constructive criticism on this matter and other ideas (no #deletecore as that's beyond my power. Ask a Dev that one. ).
Thanks for the comments (good and bad, the bad ones I send into a wood-chipper as entertainment.)
