Board Thread:Fiction Universe Discussion/@comment-9141454-20150625191138

Recently I got an (excellent) idea. What about giving the fiction universe a new type of thing to describe? Gems, Stones, Rocks, Ores and Gemstones could become quite important in order to expand mining guilds (Like DarCom), and to enrich the universe.

Basically everyone could make use of them, since these would be main trading currency, including raw and processed ores and minerals.

If you'd be interested in expanding fiction universe with well, g e m s, then write down your idea.

How should it look like?

How would these affect trade?

Could these become cause of a conflict?

How would these be mined and processed?

How many of them should we have?

My base idea is to give every galaxy 2-3 unique resources and ~5 other which you could extract from it's planets.

Despite unique resources need bigger amount of ingeniousness,'Base' resources would be more flexible and versatile.

So mine ideas for 5 'base' (there will be far more of them) are: -Titanium (No need for explanation) -Alluminium (As above) -Ferrite - Other form of Iron, widely used when Al and Ti aren't available, base for constructions, fittings, etc. -Grinnon - Crystalized crystal, suitanable for storing high amount of energy, so Grinnon would be energy cell at all; -Tridignon - Strange crystal able to deflect electromagnetic waves (light, so it would be almost transparent, but detectable with UV).

What do you think of it? Write a comment below in which you'd give an answer for questions above.
