Might just be arguing semantics, but I'd rather not have the same old just at a remote location out near the galactic core. I think it's an important distraction though as it's related to how people view it and the meaning, lore, and appeal behind it.
A group of exploration and research base stations that end up being self sufficient is near the extent I would personally care for and find compelling and meaningful. I'm thinking something along the lines of the camps and research stations setup in Antarctica.
Expansion into a remote location just for the kicks of it isn't appealing to me at all. It seems fairly artificial, contrived, and frankly rather narrow minded.
On the other hand, something that might make more sense given the circumstances... How much thought was really given to evacuating Jaques Station? Granted, this is somewhat of a rhetorical question. But, should it be?
We'll see how this all plays out, of course. I'm just hoping for perhaps a bit more substance and a bit less pageantry.
Your thoughts?

PS: Still on my way with 216t. Hope to make it within the week.
