[email removed] recently asked: Will the systems
without habital planets be recolonized?
I agree with the majority of the discussion that followed. Large
artificial habitats will no doubt be avoided like the plague (or the
Virus). Smaller AHs (not Avalon Hills! :) will only be established if
the need is great enough. BTW this only applies to such groups as the
RC, the Regency would not have such phobias.
An example would be Kruyter which is inhabited by RC workers of a
private corporation attemting to recover minerals and relic equipment.
This would provide the only good reason for returning to such worlds.
If additonal reasons for the continued habitation of the world are found
(such as being a J-2 way station between more important systems) then
possibly the colony would continue to exist.
As far as the tech needed and phobia toward such I think if people are
willing to trust returning to space in ships they will have no problem
with AHs. They will of course take all the precautions used on
spacecraft to deter Virus infection.
