Space strategy game

[herki18]

So i have planned a little while that i will build space strategy browser based game.
Main idea is there area different fields what can you do: like researcher, miner, military, economic(business).
There are about 20 000 systems and in every system there are 7 planets avarge. And some asteroids. But main question what i wanted ask is how many diffrent minerals i will but in game i have thinked so far that i will but:

uranium - ships full, ships building material
iron - building material
copper - building material
food - for people
water - for people, building material
titanium - building material
and some rare ones but my head is empty right now so can you help out me with this suggest minerals rare and common ones.

Mr. Mendeleev is your friend http://www.bpc.edu/mathscience/chemistry/images/periodic_table_of_elements.jpg

Your game seems pretty economy-focused, but that's at least original as military is most often stressed area.
I actually like mining and research most from your list, game focused this might be interesting (somehow
crossed my mind movie Outland, which I see very long ago and barely remember, but I think it took place on
Io's mining station)

Otherwise six resources seem to me quite enough...I think you can switch some of them as most of them are pretty similar by description
and purpose. Air came to my mind, that would be needed for atmosphereless planets (which could be rich in minerals and ore etc.)...
I actually think it's a good idea, the only game I've seen air used as resource was Submarine Titans, pretty nice PC underwater RTS.

Meh I was happy that I'd come up with uranium and you already have that...but it could also be used for powering reactor that would provide
energy for a planet...that would add energy resource, though I'm not sure if it wouldn't be too similar to OGame....

The fun thing with creating a bbg, is that you can create you're own world. So perhaps you could even create your own resources. It's name, where to find it, how it looks like, it's purpose, etc. You can do some nice things with it. But remember that a creative process needs time, so don't rush it to much.
