a revised barge

[Zukeenee]

This is more of a complaint in general to ship/station/system developers, but it applies to this, too;

Can we please, please stop putting biodomes on things? Biodomes are difficult to build and difficult to maintain. The fact that we see so many around Sirius now hints at some preposterous feats of engineering that don't make much sense.

Put 'em on the Jinkusu? Sure, fine. That thing is supposed to be a marvel of engineering, anyway, and has to support an entire colony of people.

Put them on random police/civilian stations throughout the houses? Well, maybe... that's gotta be pretty costly, though, and with so many self-sufficient stations like that, what happens to trade?

Put them on all the super-bases in pirate guard systems? No. Just no. If pirates were as self-sufficient as their guard systems make them seem, then they wouldn't even need to be pirates!

The reason a lot of people turn to piracy is to get things that you can't produce yourself. But put all these shipyards, smelters, and biodomes in, for example, the GC Gaurd system, and what's the point of stealing when you have everything you need in your own, unimaginably over-protected fortress?


So can we lay off the biodomes for a bit? Especially on the Barge. This doesn't need a biodome at all. Remote space stations rely on transports to carry food and water to them, and the Barge shouldn't be any different.
