    Hoo! Glad to meet a fan. I'm the author of Universe Online, by the way. Sadly, sci-fi is hard to write for most people, and even today it is hard to get into by most. Even I've searched through most of RRL for sci-fi based stories, but they're very rare.

    That said, I do have something I've been working on. It's a story called Concordant Fall, which you can find here: http://royalroadl.com/fiction/7526. I don't have many chapters out for it yet, but it's a combination of sci-fi and xainxia-like, which will have the sort of space colony building and whatnot you're interested in.

    I'm about ready to release what I have written of Universe Online on Amazon, and afterwards I'm going to shelve it for a while to work on Concordant Fall, so you can expect more from it soon-ish. That's about all I can promise about it myself.

    Anyway, thanks and I hope you find something good!

    Tidal lock on royal road. It's VR, but don't let that fool you. It's very well done.

    Starwalker too I guess. I forget the link, but Google should find it. Though it does get kinda dumb later. By dumb I mean the author injects fantasy into it. Personally, I hated the ending. I get mad just thinking about it.

    The Gam3 seems to fit your desires to a T. Plus its much better than the novels you have as examples

    Could give Ark The Legend I think it was the sequel to Ark but this time the virtual reality game is Sci-Fi based.
