I guess that Coa shouldn't bring up his nation's education standards in threads next time. I was rather enjoying proving that space habitats work.

I guess maybe you should try actually staying on topic and not insulting other people's countries. The topic was Imperial Guard Strategies. Not what should the Imperium do.

Actually showing that space is better shows that all IoM strategies are poor.

Which is still besides the point. You are trying to show that the way the game world wass created is bad. Well tough luck buddy you aren't in control of the game so guess your changes will never happen nor do your ideas really even matter.

Personal insults are not allowed.

Please stay on topic. Thanks, Manchu

CI world factbook, most numbers are from 2009 to 2010. Also, your nation makes less from tourism than Canada does. We're ranked 3rd in North America with 15.74 million people visiting in 2009, what are the numbers for Serbia?

Well we have a lot of mounuments that are 15x older than your country and quote from WIki on night life: "Nightlife in Serbia (particularly Belgrade) is very vivid and rich. Nighlife in Serbia is something that every tourist is fond of. You can find a wide spectar of clubs and bars that work every night. Serbians are friendly and very social so you don't have to wait for weekends to go out!" And I don't do numbers because I have a life.

Ah, so you have trades and many of your students still need to study abroad because your nation can't even handle its own security.

Are you that shorts sided? Our student willingly go to other countries to study, and around 40% of students here are from another country. Many of our student's return after studies and get job and try to bring country back on it's feet. And why do you think we cannot pass the exams for other colegue? Because we are 3'rd world country? Are you nationalist?

Notice the numbers for the internal volume of a cylinder 2km in diameter by 10km in length and then plug in 2000 people per 0.28 cubic meters. That will give you around 870,000 people per tube. The mass of each tube is such that you could make 3 habitats and one space farm with the amount of steel and iron earth makes each year. That is assuming 2m thick walls as well, which isn't how you build in space.

That is good on paper but what is good at real life? Stop talking nonsense, this planet have more recourse than any of that dwarf planets and it can barely sustain today's population. Get your head from books and look around you a little...

One nuke. Your argument is invalid.

Holly Terra... If that is so simple then why didn't they use it? If that was so simple than today we would live in Fallout 3, our world would be like Krieg after 1963 Cuban Crisis. And history proves her argument, why don't you try to disprove history? Oh right...you can't.

I like the idea a lot.

I always imagined the Tau having a type of production like that to an extent. Like a mix of space station production and ground production.

This Space city makes me think that the production could be lifted to space. http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Battlefleet-Gothic/TAU-AIR-CASTE-ORBITAL-CITY.html

Edit: If the Tau have the production capacity to make space cities, I would wager the IoM could put a forge world fleet together.

Production can be lifted to space, but not all the way. Canadian was suggesting that they ignore all the planets and their resources to live on moons and mine asteroids. Why would you only want one when they could have both of their advantages.

I'm pretty sure th IOM already does mine asteroids and lifeless planets.

Most likely

Well he is right about that, take for example Titan station from Dead Space 2. They were only using resources in the beginning, until they mine enough so that they can sustain themselves. But the other disagree with him only because one thing: cost. Why would one invest so much money into something that expensive with low guarantee that he will receive something from that. And not to mention that if one thing goes wrong with the city there would be many lives lost ( in space you can only have 1 mistake or 2 ). And planets have 1000x more resources than asteroids, so they are more logical choices then space stations.
And space stations are more easy to defend then planet.

So you have a blurb from a wiki, and no numbers...

Are you that shorts sided? Our student willingly go to other countries to study, and around 40% of students here are from another country.

Your country is folding even faster, maybe they should try harder.

That is good on paper but what is good at real life? Stop talking nonsense, this planet have more recourse than any of that dwarf planets and it can barely sustain today's population. Get your head from books and look around you a little...

So real nasa designs aren't good enough now? Inflatable habitats and space mining are all known quantities and easy to find sources for. Also, we don't like in the planet, we most live on it so we have less area to work with than you would find in a large number of cylinders. It's basic math.
