Why play the game if you cant use your imagination? Do you think the technology of these days will allow you to jump from 1 start to another? But guess what, you can do it in this game. LOL.
To make it possible, why not add in genetic mutation to plants and animals for rapid evolution and mutation as part of the lore on technology? Why not imagine a ultra-quick terraform generator to terraform a planet in 4 weeks? If ED can bring players to sagitarrious A in a few weeks, why not imagine the possibility of things? LOL
oh right....its a game LOL
There's a lot that can be imagined. And I love imagination.
But that is simply not how evolution works, or can work.
What you describe would just result in senseless mutations and result in an environmental disaster.
It would make no sense from a terraforming perspective either.
If you set animals loose in an environment you want a human population to live in, then you want a certain minimum of control.
Having weird genetic stuff in there that evolves as rapidly as you describe it, only creates unnecessary risk.
It just makes no sense in any which way one can imagine.
I think there are other games if you want to do stuff like this. ED just is not that game.
Ultra quick terraforming in 4 weeks of entire planets is just too absurd in my mind.
I can imagine it, but it is so absurdly unrealistic that, even though I am extremely scifi minded, this is a step too far considering the level of technology human kind has in the ED universe. It just does not fit!
Perhaps extremely evolved intelligent alien creatures that are like gods to us, at the other side of the galaxy (or in another galaxy), could do it, but not humankind at the stage of development it has in the ED universe. There is no way FD could make that sound even remotely acceptable.
For these reasons I think none of this will happen.
Good science fiction abides by it's own internal rules. Your suggestions would break those rules.
