Good, I was explaining it vaguely to understand what your background about it.

I dislike space aliens as well, they are always one dimensional in stories, and always have some strange technology that no one understands even when humans and aliens lived centuries its like "nah, i don't want to understand you guys, just be aliens somewhere else" 

Exactly.

"This is because, there are multiple isolated space colonies expand outwards from the Solar System in all directions, with hundreds of generations of human beings, to keep species from diversifying across the colonies, the nanomachines keep everyone similar. Not to mention if the AI determines that the colony can't produce enough food to support the people, it will manually decrease the birth rate in multiple ways from reducing or eliminating fertility to decreasing libido, although I haven't decided whether or not all babies will be born in vitro or in vivo."

that's interesting , I would like to play your game once its finished so I'd explore this idea, its exactly the opposite of mine, your idea of singular universal culture governed by AI to be specific, it sounds pretty morbid if you ask me, you're going for an Utopia? 

Each colony is identical and isolated. The importance of consitency is that each colony should be able to intermesh with the other seamlessy. As opposed to two different countries merging together,...actually I can't think of a real world example of the later. They are kept consitent to prevent culture clash should the colonies reunite.

What caused "In natura" birth to be out of the question though? or is it spoilers? 

There are issues with pregnancy and childbirth, mainly that for 9 months a woman's body is focused on having a baby. The Nanomachines in the Mother's body could make sure the child is safe, but considering how every being in the colonies are moreorless integral to its functioning, and the AI regulates birth, then In Vitro is a lot more easy to work with then In Vivo

I try to avoid Dystopia and Utopia elements in the story as much as possible, more neutrual about it, every colony has it's own political stance and laws similar to today's nations but abit more fun to write about : )

Its not really a utopia, especially as those who disconnect from the network are essentially lawless, but the whole thing is tightly regulated by necessity. The colonies exist to transport humanity to a new home, its essentially establishing a more diverse galatic community. K guess it could seem morbid in comparison to freer societies, but seeing as how so many generations have lived on the colonies, they don't really know anything else. 

ALso, the AI is silent in that in that its not like God determing peoples fates but rather like Task Manger in the background making everything run smoothly, this is of course assuming the AI is working correctly ;)
