But EVE IS real.

We will be carebears because our spaceships will be worse than rookie ships!

Oh it has a 10 megapixel camera... That's some pretty serious hardware.

We should, (but rarely do), learn from our history. War in space is inevitable. I want this sector because it has planets/moons/asteroids rich in exotic ores and other resources. You want it as well. Claim and counter-claim, human-invented religions to back one or another cause. War is a given. Death without clones to come back to makes death very permanent.

Let us hope that we come across aliens who are hostlie and do not overwhelm us with vastly-superior technology. Something that can unite us (but will it though?) as human beings against a common enemy. Problem is, you will still have to deal with human greed. There will be turncoats who will sell-out information to the enemy, at a price.

Take Eve as a reference if you wish, but you need not. Take human history in terms of discovery, conquests and wars. It's all there.

Eve is just a game where some people play-out already inherent human attributes. We are wired for conflict and war, we are wired to protect our own when threatened. We are wired for greed.

Being good little carebears, as you put it, is the only hope for the longterm survival of humanity. The danger with this ultimate "paradise" would be stagnation. As humans, we require chaos in our lives in order to adapt and survive. Necessity is the Mother of invention. In a care-free world, invention would die-off.

The good and the bad in us must be used to our full advantage for the survival of the species as a whole.
In this, Eve is a mirror. Without PvP, Eve will die. Without PvE, Eve will die.

God damn Goons! Amirite?!?

Well, we already litter in space. Earths orbit is chock full of rocket bodies and other space junk. There were concerns over curiosities nuclear fuel cells - if there were an accident mars would be showered in radioactive material - but we went ahead and did it anyway... I get the feeling we'l care even less for other worlds than we do for our own. Humans suck tbh.

Taking into account :
* the odds of finding an earth-like planet (1G, temperate, water, oxgen and magnetosphere) in our galaxy.
* the odds of humans not being the first race out there to lay claim on the Goldilock zone exoplanets.
* the odds of humans self-destructing and susbsequent devolution of technology.
* the human penchant for war and destruction, plus other negative traits.
* the possibility of manipulation by non-human entities over the entire human race for whatever reasons.

I'd say, good luck at the colonization project.

nope in 50 years we are still on earth and calc the costs to bring a single coin into the space ... If we are unable to brake the gravity easily or speedup to or faster than light .. we goona stay right there where we are .. on a OIL pest rock named earth.

Assuming we ever made it off our homeworld in any kind of lasting way, and assuming we somehow managed to develop the technology to travel the vast distances of space without it taking the better part of a human lifetime or even generations, and assuming we could do this in such a way as to maintain some sort of interplanetary communication and logistics structure and not just cast seeds of humanity to the solar winds to fend for themselves... I would worry about humanity coming into contact with the preverbial Jovians, acting like we all too often do towards each other, and as a result getting not only themselves stomped on like ants but provoking said Jove like race to come back here and wipe a potential menace from the face of this planet with about as much effort as it takes to press a button.

I hate to be pessimistic about it because ever since I was old enough to look up at the sky and understand the concept of space I have dreamt of leaving this world and drifting through space in the spirit of exploration and exocultural contact, but right now humanity in my opinion just doesn't have the level of respect for itself or our homeworld to justify our exodus from it without risking further harm to ourselves or other worlds.

So maybe as we play these kinda games we might realize from a certain perspective they aren't just games, they're tests, and so far in my opinion I don't see humanity passing.

What if we are the most advanced civilization in the universe? I mean someone has to be first, why not us. Maybe we will be the Jovians to other species on different planets.
