I need some feedback on my USA group, the one set in 2085. Several major goals I am aiming for....
-Recruitment I need to create the feeling that the United States is still a superpower by 2085, and thus, I need members to match the other groups in this timeframe.
-Off-Earth Colonies I'm trying to create the "feeling" that the United States has colonized it's nearest habitable celestial bodies, (Planetary systems of Mars and the Moon). This is, after all, 2085. So far, I've constructed one colony (On the Martian Moon, Phobos), and Station Delta II in Earth Orbit. So far, I'm aiming to make these colonies realistic as possible. That includes making the mining colony on Phobos have less gravity, and am also trying to create EVA pods and maintance shuttles come and go at Delta II.
-On-Earth Issues Another effect I'm trying to create is that of a "ruined Earth". Basically, in the future, 2085, Earth is ravanged by two centuries growth of runaway industry and technological advancement. For this, I am considering some "features" to add to DC and New York when they are built. This includes making the map create "super-storms" that kill players outside and destroy cars/aircraft/spacecraft and small buildings, as a effect of global warming. I am also testing out scripts for a "News Ticker" that would display randomly generated events in other areas of the world on certain holographic TV screens. This would show a robloxian with reading off a script for random news stories such as....
"Major food shortages in India big probelm for UN" "Lizard species confirmed extinct; Scientists call for end of overexpansive industrial growth" "Europa One, a private expedition to the moons of Jupiter, has started today at Spaceport America." "Congress announces plan to send manned spacecraft outside of solar system ; faces budgetary issues" "Mako Sharks pronounced extinct. Biologists worried about climate change out of control" "Super-hurricanes striking the coast of New York; A sign of a ruined Earth?" "POTUS declares new effort to terraform Mars in fifty years; pours billions of dollars into project" "Chinese spacecraft land on Callisto" "Massive artifical food factories are online and running ; Can they save humanity from starvation?" "Fusion powerplants are running out of Helium-3, lunar mining companies are pressured to produce more by the end of the year" "Its official; Earth is down onto the last billion barrels of fossil fuels." "UN Peacekeepers sent into South America to stablize collapsing goverments"
You get the picture. I want a idea of America on a Earth that is barely being held togheter, with widespread food shortages. I want the idea of America in a world with technological advancement gone wild. I want America in a world of interplanetary colonies.
-Society Marches On I'm keeping many trends of 2013 and "futurising" them so my citizens can relate the 2085 USA to the 2013 one. Such as.... Major companies still exist. Apple is busy marketing the "iHolo 9 with Retina Display on Sub-Atomic Scale" Fashion is still pretty much the same.... Kids are still into digital entertainment... 'Murica still is a superpower, and though China now has a slightly bigger economy, the NYSE is still the largest stock exchange. Many countries still exist. The UN exists.
So, how I'm doing in the first three days? |
