Something I would like to see Mongoose publish: World Colonization

[Spartan159]

Like it says on the tin, rules, problems, solutions, equipment, needs etc etc to start a colony, from a low tech bootstrap to a high tech insta-colony. Bonus if it discusses Imperial politics needed. Maybe a colony ship or three (Sublight rock, Jump Sphere, whatever). Extra bonus points: rules for aging the colony, potential disasters and whatnot

The previous Tools for Frontier Living for 2300 had a lot of that (well, for 2300). I'm not sure if that will be part of the new one, and that one is due this month. More likely though, I would guess (and Matthew might correct me) that it is more likely to be a component of or the focus of 2300AD: Building the Frontier, which is out in next year sometime.

Yep, 2300AD seems to be going big on this idea -

- 2300AD: Building the Frontier
- World Builder's Handbook

There is also mooted to be 2300AD: Invasion coming, although this may be a more Core Worlds thing and may be an actual campaign?

Well, World Builder's Handbook is Traveller, but no reason why it can't be used for 2300 as well... it's point-in time systems, worlds, way too much detail on the UWPs and will also deal with what resides in 'empty' hexes...

Possibly the new Pioneer setting will explore this idea as well?…
