Awesome, but Impractical: Pretty much all late-game things.But then again, in Real Life there are only a few asteroids in the Asteroid Belt that could support major settlements.

Each Asteroid Belt only has one colonizable Asteroid in it (if any). Asteroid Thicket: Inverted, oddly enough.Asteroid Miners: Pretty much the only thing Asteroids are good for, since they have minuscule Area but high Metal, and are the only Astros other than Crystalline with significant amounts of Crystals.It can be quite fun to watch your pitiful little base grow into a Kardashev Scale-abusing interstellar empire, even if it does take frigging ages. Okay, it sounds really dull when you describe it that way, but there's actually a surprising amount of strategy involved, with the variety of ships and defenses, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, managing resources across a variety of planet types that can be colonized, and managing relations with other players, be it through trade, diplomacy, or war. Said battles involve sending fleets towards each other, while both sides losses are automatically calculated based on the size and composition of each fleet. Structures to do perform various tasks, Technologies to unlock new Structures, Technologies, Units, and Defenses, Defenses to protect your bases, and Units to fight battles for you. Most of the gameplay is basically clicking on things and waiting a while (like, a long while) for them to do things. It's a sort of a 4X strategy game, but with a Facebook-game like long term style, designed to be run in the background. Its cost is $185 million.Okay, let's see: Astro Empires is a Massive Multiplayer Online Game, playable in your browser and released all the way back in May 2006. Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) for the project is being carried out by HPI, LLC in consortium with S&W Solutions, both Texas companies. The plant will be operated by the Volta River Authority. It will consist of four gas turbines, heat recovery steam generators and one steam turbine. The third plant will be a 132 MW combined cycle power plant. It is owned and operated by Takoradi International Company, a joint venture of the Volta River Authority (10%) and CMS Generation, a subsidiary of TAQA. The second plant has a capacity of 220 MW, with a future expansion up to 330 MW. As the plant has dual firing capacity, it can run also on natural gas. The secondary fuel is distillate fuel oil, which is used for start-up and shutdown of the plant. Oil is stored in four storage tanks with a capacity of 29,500 cubic metres (1,040,000 cu ft) each. Oil is received through a single point mooring connected to the plant by approximately 4.5-kilometre (2.8 mi) undersea pipeline. The plant is fueled primarily by light crude oil. It is a combined cycle power plant with an installed capacity of 330 MW combined by two 110 MW GE Frame 9E combustion gas turbines, and one 110 MW steam turbine generator. Official inauguration was held on 15 October 2000 in participation of President Jerry Rawlings. The Aboadze power station became operational in 1997 and is the first fossil fuel power station operated by the Volta River Authority. The Takoradi Power Station is a thermal power station at Aboadze, 17 kilometres (11 mi) east of Sekondi-Takoradi, Ghana.
