[[Here is my attempt at a space game.]]

"Hello, viewers.  This is Joel T. Karvens, head of the space administration.  If you are watching this, then the solar system in which we hail from is a forsaken place, destroyed by the supernova predicted by almost all scientists.  Shortly before I started recording this, three freighters carried 50 million citizens out of Earth's atmosphere and to our base at Planet A.  No more frieghters were left, and the rest of us have to wait and see the outcome of the Sun's wrath.  The fact you are watching this proves that  this occured, and that you, meaning the people on the frieghters, to colonzie and lead the human race to success.  Your frieghters were given the technology to head a Sector 1, a small collection of stars we discovered that will be helpful in raising a grand empire.  Sadly, without more advanced technology, you will only be able to stay within THAT sector.  In other words, you are stuck there until you discover a better interstellar drive.  I enclosed a short video of everything you will need to know at the beginning.  If there are any other questions, refer to a professional or another holocard.  Thank you."

From Earth To Heaven Guide:

In the beginning, you are one of the citizens on those frieghters.  From the beginning, you must find a way to produce food, set up the government, and save the human race from extinction.  Once on the planet, you get to decide what your role will be: Will you lead factions of the human race to glory, become the CEO of the greatest manufactorer of goods, or explore the vast territories of space?

-----

When starting off, you msut choose between the several classes which help you in certain points in this game.

Civilian Classes:

Farmer - A Good Season - You make twice as much as money if you choose to farm.
Warrior - Battle Ready - You can get called on to fight.
Diplomat - Seat of Power - Your beginning job is one rank higher, if you decide to have a governmental job.
Scientist - Scientific Method - Machinery takes half the time to research if you choose to be an engineer.
Merchant - Supply and Demand - The materials you sell to others is 1/2 more expensive.

Jobs:

Agricultural Branch - You farm, kill animals, anything that gets food on people's table.  3 point a day.

Political Branch - You bicker with others to run a government.  Cheaper than the rest, but you might just become leader of your faction like this, and faster than the others. 4 points a day.

Military Branch - You learn how to fight and are enrolled as a soldier.  You don't get paid, but you can be called on in times of war, and gain prestige points.  20 points every battle.

Engineering Branch - You research into new technologies to advance your faction.    A well paying job, but it leaves you with little free time everytime you start a project. 3 point a day.

Economical Branch - You buy raw materials and sell them at unbelievably hig- I mean, LOW prices.  3 point a day.

Eventually, through these jobs, you will become leader of your faction.

FOOD - The first two days, food is provided by the military.  After that, you have to buy them.  Farmers can eat their own food, but lose half their pay.  You can go two days without food, but after that, you die and start over as a different person with the same attributes, same description, and same name. You just are broke.

Food Packet - 75 credit units.

Notice: If you do anything illegal, you have a chance of being caught.  Illegal - anything that involves get-rich-quick schemes, corrupting polititians, stealing products to sell, or using other schematics to use for your own good.

Estates: You must buy land to establish your foothold.

Small house = 300 credits - It has a warm bed, that's it.
Medium house = 500 credits - You can raise a family with this.
Mansion = - Just for looks. :-D Jk, you can store spaceships in these once you discover the technology.

Simply type up your charcter sheet like so:

Name: Han Solo
Class: Smuggler
Faction: Rebel Alliance
Description: Why do you need that?
Short Bio:  Punk, what's with you?

I haven't decided yet on the factions, but I need people to sign up first.

When more people sign up, I'll make a map of Planet A... which will be renamed soon...
