Fishbowl Effect

The unusual economic advantage provided by small, airless rockball worlds.

Description (Specifications)

The lack of gravity and interfering fluids make heavy manufacturing on such worlds more cost effective than on more habitable worlds.

• The term comes from the fact that such a world can be treated like a huge megastructure, rather than just a cold lump of rock.
• In low gravity large scale construction and huge industries can be built, and the normal costs of geography safely ignored.
