Do you think the sinners will go to space at some point?

[EASY PETE]

That would be pretty wild

no.

[Joshua Kurayami]

Sure, although it will probably be a while until that happens. We still need to turn Mephisto into other vehicles like a train, a plane and a submarine before Charon can vroom vroom us to the moon.

Or maybe we'll get a space distortion/abnormality dungeon.

[Minh]

Yes.

Airplanes, any form of aviation, are non-existent in the City.

Have a feeling that any form of approaching the boundary of the "Earth" is outlawed or banned. With the emphasis on "stars" and "nebulae" in the series, which are astronomical terms, I don't think approaching those are safe for existence.

[Postsapien]

Reminds me of a Mel Brooks' movie

[Reptiloid]

I doubt it. KJH, or whoever is there in charge of the plot, can barely handle earth, space will be boring as hell. PMverse is wide as the sea, deep as the puddle.

I swear, the last time I saw a good fantasy world in gaming was Fallen London.

If we take into account one of garnets mirror world versions from Leviathan than planes probably exist or have existed at one point.

[lorde]

honestly, probably. hell, depending on how the science works in the city we may have already been to space

[Simacan]

I wouldn't rule it out entirely, though it would be a long way off.

With how stars are given emphasis, I imagine that while the tech is there, going into space is probably some "Where we're going, we don't need eyes to see" kind of deal.

[Om3ga-Z3ro]

Doubt but the chance is still there.
People are still debating if Z Corp is either underground or on the moon and if it is on the moon then the chance that we go to space to do an assignment in Z corp goes up exponentially.

I am hoping it is on the moon, makes it somewhat fitting for a last district for Project Moon.

To be fair, portals, other dimensions, and all manner of other things are still on the table, but as far as your mention of planes? Why would they need planes? Firstly that takes away space from businesses when they're already barely containing population as it is, and secondly they just become big bombs that could be dropped on any part of city.

It's obvious based on K corp and Yi Sang's winged self that air travel is fully invented and implemented within the city. It's simply likely there's no reason to do it. Similarly, outer space is also probably considered an extension of the outskirts and is likely just as dangerous. If only because you both have monsters out there ready eat you AND the harsh conditions of a vacuum.

To answer the post though, I could actually see it happening during the 'heaven' chapters if we're going through all 3 books. If they decided to center these cantos around different locations based on which one we're in, it's entirely possible that for the next 13 after this one we start popping into the ruins underground and dark forest with some regularity. If they follow that trend, the next place we might go would be possibly the heavens and the populated locations in the outskirts.
