Earth Expansion

[Splitsecond]

That would be the whole point.

What I meant was that Earth could not operate a private network and still use the main network from the same gate. It has been shown that Pegasus gates and Milky Way gates can be at relatively the same location and be on different networks, so two gates (private and normal) at SGC may be possible.

We don't use a dhd so that is possibly not the case.

International crews are kind of problematic through, different languages, command structures, etc.

And if we know anything about people, is that they don't like to share. Colonial wars don't make sense here, becuase there is no issue of lack of land, you have an entire galaxy.

I get what you mean by there being problems that would need to be overcome, but languages isn't really one of them since the Asgard had translation technology, or as part of any training to go off world, learning a common, internationally agreed upon language could be a requirement, as for command structures I'm sure Earth could find a way to decide who is best for each new role that becomes available.

If things are organized well enough then there shouldn't be any problems with sharing.

As for colony wars, well if you have one nation controlling a planet and another nation was to decide to just land there unannounced then that could be taken by the original owner of said planet as an act of aggression and cause a war, having things joint from the start removes the possibilities or lessens the chances of things like that from happening IMO.

Very true! So while the 'private' network will only be able to dial within the network and Earth, the Earth gate can operate in both networks hassle free

Then still arrises the problem of what language. Im English is used, the French (and former French colonies), the Spanish speakers and Chinese will have a lot of trouble.

[Merlin1701]

having colonies of one nation is a really bad idea. Each nation would split into there own race and take there ships with them. Integrated worlds is the only answer...

A private network can be achieved by altering the control crystal, allowing gate travel to a select few planets.

Neither did Midway yet they still needed a gate for each network. Granted the gates were different designs but a Milky Way gate and a Pegasus gate can connect to each other through the use of the 8th chevron. Incidentally, the close proximity of the two gate networks at Midway suggests that the 8th chevron is not a distance multiplier but is instead an alternative network selector.

I got no problem with having to use a second gate (a minor inconvenience).

But we should only let the civies go to private earth gated worlds. Other whise we have no clue in what they will end up doing. Keeping them confined to those worlds to settle on other than earth, would be the safest bet.

[comperius]

What if we find alternative to stargate network? And we disable the gate travel for people who are not authorised by IOA? Or remove Stargates from planets and only the head colony has one.

For example beaming technology? Because Aschen had traveling (beaming) platforms for example...

[bradly08]

The best thing I can see (although would never happen) would be to Teriform and colonise Mars and possibly Venus. Built colony ships to bring people to the planets but dont give them hyperdrives. That way you appease the people and are able to control what planets are colonised.

But before we event think of moving onto new planets we need to form a united government otherwise we end up with hundreds more human countries. we need to unite before we spread out.

[locutes]

Unless we spread out to Mars, Luna and Venus. Because then we can pretty much stay as we are. But with something like letting an Al'kesh crash we could prove we are not allone but keep the gate concealed and bring more tech to the public, that way slowly going towards opening up the gate.

This would give us reasons to unite little by little. And colonising Mars, Luna and Venus would be practical, close and we can work on it slowly, we just need to terraform.

I agree.
Good point about the gate network thing too.

Well if we have Asgard translation tech the languages don't matter, also even if we didn't use that tech and relied on learned language skills anyone taking part and training to go off world from the start could just learn the major Earth languages English or French maybe, TBH it doesn't really matter what the common language is as long as everyone that goes from off world base to off world base can speak that language, hell picking it out of a hat or base the decision of what it is on statistical evidence of which is quicker to learn and easier to use would be best IMO.

Agreed, I also think that letting corporations establish offworld headquarters is a mistake. It runs the risk of them seperating from governmental control.

I also think that every colony should either be multi-cutural and international to avoid sparking an interplanetory war based on ancient Earth-based prejudices.
