Quote:On the flip side, it takes quite a while to build all the colonies, space stations and asteriod bases that have been placed into the setting, even assuming pre-fab modules and liberal use of 'wavium.

It also takes a while to affect the atmosphere of a planet the size of Venus enough to make the thionite subplot at all believable, even using wavtech.
Four years isn't enough. On the other hand, ten years is far too long, considering what 'wavium has been shown to be able to accomplish...
