A strange little side quest
The next time 3d Solar System asks for one more try, remember that game ideas rarely appear from nowhere. Voyager 1 entered interstellar space in 2012, and Voyager 2 followed in 2018. A second detail makes the picture even better: M.U.L.E. arrived in 1983 with multiplayer competition built around gathering resources and keeping a colony alive, an early example of resource-driven strategy play. So a round of 3d Solar System is not just a quick distraction; it is a tiny stop on a much longer space timeline.
