Center Colony

from Stardock Forums

I am not sure if this has been posted on this forum before, but how do people feel about the center colony and its interaction with the game? I know when I play that I try and keep tabs on what modules are being created, but honestly I forget about it as often as I remember to check it. It serves a necessary niche of creating general market demand, but overall I feel as though its biggest impact is the one game out of 100 when it randomly expands onto the tile you were about to claim.

Would people like the colony to do more in the game? Does anyone have any fun or unique ideas about how to increase its interactivity with the player without adding more burdens on the fingers and attentions of the player? Maybe people feel the game has enough systems as it is and would prefer the game to be simpler altogether and would dislike any additions to the center colony and how it affects the game?

It's been talked a lot for sure. As you said, its biggest impact is when it expands towards you or when you have (or considering getting) Virtual Reality. Other than that I barely remember it's there. Yes, I would like it to be more... ehm... present, but again, not sure if adding to the complexity is something Mohawk team's looking forward to. Perhaps simple quests (like providing 20 electronics or w/e) could make it less ignorable. On the other hand they could potentially increase the RNG factor even further.
