Suggestion: Quest Ship to the Stars delay

[starbabylon]

It should really be triggered a few days/months after you build a Communications Console and not in the early stages of the colony.

Or I definitely want to see the postman NPC who delivers the message on my screen...

Then players wouldn't know the quest conditions and the forum will get spammed by topics like ...

"What are the conditions?" (for the quest)

Followed by ... "Build a comm console".
Followed by ... "The quest should be early to let us know the conditions".

Any we just went full circle ... :P (round and round we go)

1. The devs don't really monitor this forum. It's gotten better in 1.1, in that I've actually seen a post from Tynan, but you're more likely to get seen on the dev's forums[ludeon.com].
   
2. It has to come early, because the game's asking you which playstyle you're going for. Are you going turtle, and tech your way up to victory; or are you going migratory, scrounging resources and tech as you go? The question needs to be asked early enough that players don't feel like they've invested too much into their starter base.
