Digital Earth - Story Idea

[RavenBlade]

This may come off as sounding like a Halo rippoff, but it's been in the conceptual stages way before that game was a gleam in the developers eye's.

Anyway, the story revolves around the earths destruction, with a bunch of survivors making it off the planet before it blew up.
They had already started construction of a station on one of the moons of Saturn.
Everything was going fine and dandy, till when on a routine run, a group of several research star ships, saw the Earth reappear, as if nothing ever happened to begin with.
They land upon the newly formed earth, to find it seemingly isolated, yet some alien life forms have inhabited small sections of Antarctica, and the rest the other sectors of earth. From there a battle is waged for this new earth, with recon ships, filled to the brim with the new elites, waging war with the aliens.

What are your thoughts so far, go with it?
or leave it alone. As i wrote this, i have noticed several nods to movies such as Stargate, Starship Troopers, and even a hint of Star Wars.

Feed back please; it's always welcome.

Thanks

I prefer Halo's story more, but that's because I'm a big video game fan. But yours is far more original. I like it a lot. I had a sci-fi idea a while ago that in the future we've found a planet that is quite similar to Earth, but obviously different and had aliens on it and stuff. Maybe you could make the ending something like they find out that it isn't really Earth but an alien planet that's been there all along, and they had just mistaken it for Earth, sort of a reverse Planet of the Apes ending. Anyway, I really like the idea. Here are seven steps you should think about: 1) Work on it. 2) Work on it some more. 3) Perfect it. 4) Craft it. 5) Write it. 6) Finish it. 7) Email it to me - gallantryan@hotmail.com

If your other sci-fi ideas are as interesting as this one, repeat as necessary steps 1 through 7.

its a pretty good idea. A little Titan AE-ish in the beginning, but an interesting story
