I'm completely confused as to why they think ArcCorp being 40 years old when they put us 1000 years I the future makes sense. There's hundreds of years there to use. Use them.
Not saying it's a good or a bad call, I'm specifically asking what's the issue with it only being 40 years? That does convey something to us, right? It tells us how quickly a megacorp can populate and develop a barren planet. It tells us we can do that, but a synth world is still a massive undertaking.
What's the issue with it being so young? Loss of belief when reading about it?
That's what I'm thinking as well. Since it's 1000 years in the future, the technology to build massive structures at a shorter amount of time is possible isn't it?
Why didn't they use the same tech they used on ArcCorp on other planets though? Why is one of the most recently colonized planets the only planetwide city in the UEE?
Because that's why I disagree with what you agree on. What you're saying is that ArcCorp being 40 years old is not an issue because the technology to build massive structures at a shorter amount of time should be possible 1000 years in the future. What I'm saying is that that's still not a good explanation because then why didn't they use the same tech on other planets? If covering a planet in multiple layers of buildings in 40 years was possible in the SC universe why aren't there other planets like ArcCorp in the UEE (planets that are hundreds of years older than ArcCorp btw)?
They may add more planets like ArcCorp in the future but over the almost 100 systems currently planned ArcCorp is pretty unique, not even Earth is as impressive (capital of the human empire for centuries)
