It would seem that both groups could be satisfied by dividing your
game world into seperate areas tailored for each set. eg:
The base game location is the massive hulk of a colony ship.
The ship is *HUGE* and contains thousands of nondescript rooms.
The ship rests in a graveyard of other ships of various types all
orbiting mixed in with an asteroid field and other interesting
features.
A little bit of tweaking allows all the socialiser stuff to occur
in-ship, and the majority of the rest, softcoder and explorers,
adventurers etc to occupy the rest of the graveyard. Game mechanics
(air supply, food, fuel?) could be arranged to force the players to
periodically return to the (socialist?) ship and restock/whatever.
