I am only planning on a Single Planet at the beginning, a very large one. When I said 5-10 that would be the bare minimum to attempt to start a new colony on the Planet, I agree that a larger group will probably be needed to be successful.

So in the beginning there would be at least a few such group on the planet, along with a couple of NPC settlement locations.

The Planet is in a way a nod towards those who live for combat, a world simply teeming with life for battles that might never really end. But mixed into that will be mystery as well. Your combat team might have to clear the way, but then you need scientist types to understand how to deal with what you find. The amount of Tech power available will be based on money more than time, so unlike a game where everyone starts very weak, fights little critters, and then moves up, things will start a lot more violent. So in some ways the Planet environment makes it possible for smaller groups of people to play with RP purpose.
