WHAT ABOUT WISP?

by Hazed

The planet Wisp appeared recently as a new world in the Cloud system, joining planets Cloudbase and Cumulus to make a three-planet system. No, this isn't a prelude to the biological level when you will get an extra bio asteroid to play with: this is something different.

The reason Cloudbase has an extra planet in his system is because he is helping to test the events system that allows you to make fun things happen on your planet. Technocrats will be given this ability, once Bella's finished the coding part. In order to make sure his experimentation doesn't mess any visitors up, Cloudbase has been given a separate asteroid to write the events on, so he can prevent anyone from landing on it until he's finished playing around.

Wisp does not have an economy, which means it has no exchange and therefore no goods to buy or sell. However, for a while Armstrong Cuthbert were offering jobs to and from the planet, due to an error in their database, which had noticed the appearance of the new planet but hadn't realized it was different. Rumors that the mistake was made because they had outsourced their database maintenance were denied, and the error was fixed a few days ago.
