DOLOS.org
IXION combines city building, survival elements and exploration, into a thrilling space opera as you explore the stars. Propelled onwards into a perilous journey, you are the Administrator of the Tiqqun space station, charged with the task to find a new home for humanity after the Earth can no longer provide.
Keeping the station sound and flying will require a deft hand and strategic thinking, as you are constantly pulled between maintaining the hull integrity, bringing in new resources and managing power consumption.
What choices will you make when confronted with impending disaster? What will you discover out there in the dark?

I gotta tell you, I'm looking forward to this. Story-wise it looks like some sort of FTL jump for a station going awry and breaking the Moon apart. Ixion is a Greek mythological character, the first man to commit kin-slaying by murdering his father-in-law and thus also violating the laws of hospitality by being a pretty terrible host. For this he was cast out. Not to be outdone by himself, Ixion also attempted to have sex with Zeus' wife, Hera, after the former took pity on him and took him in. Now having been both a terrible host and a terrible guest, Ixion was chained to a spinning wheel of fire. I mean that's pretty clever. Tiqqun is Hebrew "fixing", so the station was created to "fix" our world. Instead it screws the Earth by messing up the Moon. I'm betting the station is propelled into the parts unknown and the "cast out" denizens are either attempting to return to Earth or simply to survive, bound to their spinning wheel of a station much like Ixion.

Charon (properly pronounced Kheyron) -- that is, the name given to shuttle that carries people to Tiqqun station -- was the name of the ferryman who carried the souls of the dead into the Greek underworld, who was to be paid by coins left on the eyes or under the tongue of the deceased. The Vanir were a clan of gods in Norse mythology, counterbalanced in tension by another clan of gods called the Aesir. The Marduk council, chaired by Vanir Dolos is named after the cheif god of the Babylonians, as much a creator as a ruthless destroyer. Dolos means “deceit" in Greek. We can hypothesize that Vanir Dolos may have conspired to break the moon apart on purpose, in order to creatre an impact event with the Earth. If true, it may have been a craven bidr to save resources for himself and his supporters, incapacitating or wiping out much of the population of the Earth so as not to have to keep his word by supporting more immigration. In other words, the real plan may be to make Tiqqun a “lifeboat” only for the “worthy." That suggests he and his corporate leadership may be psychopathically elitist. Tiqqun’s internal network of digital listening and trend-monitoring systems may in reality reflect secret aspirations to create an Orwellian total aurveillance society.

So in an attempt to run away from a self inflicted doom, mankind makes matters worse? Sounds about right. XD I would say I don't envy the admin in charge of salvaging anything out of that situation. But I'm planning on buying the game at some point, so I guess I'll get to see first hand how that will go.

7:19 PM 12/16/2022 I like the ship management and traveling to different planets. Be cool if we could play out battles on planets (U GUYS NEED TO MAKE AN RTS GAME LIKE THIS TO DO THAT LIKE HALO). I havent beat it yet. Still working on Chapter 1 taking my time gathering resources and so on. Looking forward to a DLC. Trying not to ruin the story but DOLOS ship design sucks I wont say what it is.
