Uh, Kingfisher? We agreed to share tech, remember?

[RulerOfNothing]

10ebbor10, I would like to know about the feasibility of the following researches:

• Studying my thruster technology in order to get a better theoretical basis for future thruster designing.
• Developing better computers to put in my spacecraft components to make them more effective.
• Designing a specialised lander module that reduces the cost of landing on another body.
• Developing small thrusters for delicate maneuvering.

Also, how does putting multiple engines on the same level work?

[kingfisher1112]

Sorry ansotan.

Single stage hull (4m, 300KG)
1 timed explosive, 100KG
1 Thruster, 100KG
3 small fuel tanks.

PENDING (Waiting for research exchange with Austria, so I can get better contact-detonation explosives.)

Other: Send anything we learn in this year to the Austrians, for them to use, EXCEPT the gains from the American Trade. (sorry Kingfisher)
Trade techs with the Americans (i give them higher capacity fuel tanks, for their more efficient fuel)
Take perk for ‼SCIENCE‼

[10ebbor10]

Research: A sensor suite capable of detecting things from the orbit.
And theoreticaly research Nuclear powered engines. You know that's going to take awile do you?
Manufacture:
5 Creepers, outfitted with explosives. You current rocket factory can only create 1.5(actually a bit less)Creepers a year. Luckly you do have a prototype ready.
Other:
Invest 2000$ in a local university for some scientists.You know this'll mean you'll only get a very small chance of getting a scientist

10ebbor10, I would like to know about the feasibility of the following researches:

• Studying my thruster technology in order to get a better theoretical basis for future thruster designing.

Probably not, but you can try to research different types of thrusters. For instance currently you have the standard cone thrusters but there are many other types around.

• Developing better computers to put in my spacecraft components to make them more effective.

You comps will weight, but I've allowed these things before. Note Increasing safety and such yes, but a computer can't mysteriously increase thrust.

• Designing a specialised lander module that reduces the cost of landing on another body.

You can design a lander that lands on the moon/planet while the rest of the spaceship stays in orbit. I even got calculations ready for that.

• Developing small thrusters for delicate maneuvering.I think you want to get the in and out of orbit cost away. In that case no. Small, refuelable thrusters for stations and such YEs

Also, how does putting multiple engines on the same level work? Research a tech( Synchronized ignition and thuster coupling) and you're done. You do need to provide fuel for all thrusters though.

Alright. Just to clarify: would it be possible to develop a "computerised" thruster that has better efficiency because the computers can control the flow of fuel better or something? And what category would a planetary/lunar lander fall under?

[10ebbor10]

Alright. Just to clarify: would it be possible to develop a "computerised" thruster that has better efficiency because the computers can control the flow of fuel better or something? And what category would a planetary/lunar lander fall under?

Nah, your thruster are already efficient and flow of fuel simulation in real time is very CPU intesive.( Also, might mess with balance)

Chassis design: You are designing a seperate spaceship. (Calculation wise it is counted as a payload)

[Toaster]

Crap.  I could have sworn I remembered to edit out that thrust.  That's what I get for copy/pasting old turns.   [Not that it'll stop me from continuing to do it.]


Urist was pleased with the research.  The "Space Shuttle" design looked very promising, and would save much money in the future.  Being able to repeatedly launch it would be extremely cost-effective.

It was time to diversify research.  The Space Shuttle was far too heavy to launch at this point, but there was plenty of room for improvement.  Urist figured that some "booster" rockets would now be useful additions to his component stable.  He also had an idea for integrated computer systems that would improve safety of the rockets, given that many future launches would be manned.

There was much work to be done.  Always much work.


Research:
Space Shuttle:  Decrease the weight.

Booster Rocket:  Design a simple booster rocket.

Monitor System:  A computerized monitoring system to increase the safety of launches.


Designs:
None today, but just you wait!


Building:
Build a Space Expo Center- a tourism/business department with the intent of attracting high-quality personnel to work here.  (Same as the perk, basically.)


Other:  Recruit a Scotonaut.  Make sure he's at least half decent.  Spend 2k on recruitment.


Expenses:  10k  (3k research + 5k building)

[10ebbor10]

[I copy the turns too]

Also, no recruiting budget? I'll see what I can get for you.

[Toaster]

Eh.... I better throw 2k at it.  I'll edit that in.

[Toaster]

What's this doing on page four?

[10ebbor10]

What's this doing on page four?

Waiting for me to update. Waiting for Ghazkull.

[RulerOfNothing]

10ebbor10, if I want to put 3 people in space at the same time, can the life support module do this with enough research or do I need to research a bigger life support module or some sort of space capsule? Also, does the life support module allow me to do EVAs (assuming that I had developed EVA suits)?
