Let me start by saying Galacticraft is a great mod. It adds space, the final frontier and every thing that comes with it. I love running around on the moon and looking for dungeons on mars. The mod is also often put into modpacks and is great because a factory on the earth is great, but a factory on the moon, I feel like a mastermind, a true tycoon.
But I often hear people say "The mod is cool and all, but there is no real gain for going to the moon or mars." Thats why I have made this post. My idea is that when you are in the map of the universe (the on when you chose what planet to go to) that has earth, the moon, mars and the sun, what If you also saw asteroids? These asteroids are large rocks (about the size of a village) which have a core of a solid ore. The idea I had, at this stage seemed broken, OP and made the game to easy so I worked on it and came up with this. What if these asteroids were on orbits, orbits that passed by the earth every once and awhile, meaning that you would only have about 3 minutes once you pulled your spaceship up next to the rock to harvest it. Depending on what ship you are using, there would be a circle on the map which is how far out your ship can carry you. Also its cool because unlike the only other place you are outside your ship in outer space, the space station, you could truly float around it. Your ship would not land, just pull up aside the rock. Perhaps the ship that can reach mars can also reach father, you could only go to them and get back to earth when your where every you are trying to go is in your circle. You could even go on extremely dangerous missions where you hop for asteroid to asteroid to get to one way out there, but you have even less time to get back to earth from it. Perhaps as well you can decide to stay on the rock for on whole orbit/rotation though the universe. Then there could also be large broken space ships, space wrecks and creepy space temples (Alien, anyone?) that acted like dungeons. They could have stories with them and dangerous mobs.
Thanks for reading and post what you think!
