and one incidental Really Cool Thing (we have an atmosphere-capable forcefield that's *really* *big*.)

Um, no, I never had a forcefield on the GC. It's always been a geodesic dome that was built "folded up" out of local materials (silicon/quartz in the soil of West Virginia) and then "unfolded" and sealed right before launch. At least, that was the original concept. I'm not sure where folks got the idea that it was a forcefield, except maybe from the original fictional implementation of the spindizzy.
Now, if folks think a force field works better within the rules of the settting than the dome, I'll make the change, but I don't want people evaluating the concept as it stands with incorrect information.
