  • That and it’d also be nice to be able to see/visit different types of space objects.

    Not just black holes and rocky worlds, but moons of gas and ice giants, rare submoons, neutron stars, red giants, and so on.

    Would be cool to be able to actually travel close to the non-rocky objects (but not be able to land on them for game purposes, obviously).

    Or a base could be possible orbiting them, but only once advancing further so you can make more resilent bases.

    Different axial tilt, orbital speed… that’d be cool too.

    Yes.

    Not mandating them will also harm the people affected by the antivax types. Think for example antivax parents who would rather let their kids die than vaccinate.

    I’d also add that there be a yearly checkup of whether the kids at school/daycares/home education are vaccinated or not. The one to do the checkup is prohibited from being a member of an antivaxx movement, and must be medically qualified.

    And the following consequences for not vaccinating:

    1. 500 hours community time for not vaccinating.

    2. 500 hours community service on top of that if spreading antivax ideology or supporting antivax groups, whether fiscally or nonfiscally. They also will be required to follow a course on how vaccination actually works, and take an exam for that.

    1,000 hours community time would amount to 25 workweeks (8 hr, 5 days a week).

    1. On top of that, a hefty fine of 5% of yearly net disposable income (stocks and non-material wealth included). Kid will be vaccinated also.

    2. If the parents/caretakers lied about the kid being vaccinated, kept the person absent for the checkup, or didn’t register the kid (so services knows there’s a kid that needs to be vaccinated), they will be called to court for abuse. If they still register and vaccinate the kid after that note, the consequences are 1/3rd less. This all also applies for if the people themselves are not vaccinated; they’ll be called to court for endangering other peoples’ safety.

    They are killing people. I say that that deserves a vaccine mandate with enforced consequences.
