I can imagine what you're thinking at the moment: "WTF, not ANOTHER planet project, we already have two!!!"
But this won't be like the other two ones. Sagan 4 and Drake 3 both are "normal" planets, but I thought about how cool it would be with a planet not like the earth or like the other two, but a planet which is very different, just like a gas giant or a planet were the water is hold under a shield of ice (for example europe). Another examples are aurelia and blue moon from
Extraterrestrials.
The circumstances on these planets are more interesting for life to evolve. Thats why this project won't be similar to the other two, but it will be very different.
The procedure will be similar to the other two though. The first thing this project needs are people, who have a good knowledge about evolution and who can illustrate their creatures good enough. And Members of Sagan and Drake: Don't be afraid, because this project won't be as fast as the other two (maybe just one generation per week, two at the most) so you can take part at both projects (if you have enough time and if you feel like it).
The users, who are interested in this can either PM me or just post it into this thread (but plz PM me after the thing started). Simultanously we need a planet, so you can post ideas for "different" planets here into this thread, later we can make a poll, which planet we will take.
My suggestions:
- gas giant (like jupiter)
- a planet with only water on it (but a solid core)
- a planet with a frozen surface but a liquid core (europa)
- a planet which orbits the sun in such way, that one side is always directed to the sun and the other side is never directed to the sun
I think that was it for now. I'll be glad, if some people like this idea.
