Hmm. I have more scientists than I do lab space, and it's 20k to upgrade the labs from three floors to four right?
If I have a booster with a Vasimir, does the battery have to be in the booster with it, or can it be in the rocket itself? Or even better, does it take up no space?

You can put 2 scientist on the same project, if their fields overlap. And yes, it's 20k ( 1->2 5000, 2->3 10.000 3->4 20.000)

Batteries and their wires don't take up space, so you can put them everywhere.

I think you gave my taikonauts 0.05 training xp this turn, but I've been getting 0.10.

Just making sure, but having both an agricultural hub and water recycling system will reduce supply usage by humans to 0%, and not 25%, right?

Yes. Not counting any breakdowns and other stuff.

Ominous!

Can we add conditions for missions about the economy failing (IE, just the essentials to the station if it fails, otherwise add more)?
Do I have enough space health studies research to make a spaceclinic?

Yes, you can.
Technically yes, but you still have to research it.

Search for biologist 5k

Research Improve small scale reactions with physicist 1k

Research With Vince upgrade the engine
Hey Kaskyyk want a to trade said batteries for something?

Ask the Dutch government for some fissionable material.

Research Advance autopilot for free with Vince (What does this do anyways?)It increases the safety of any rockets it's installed on by 10%

Engineer a rocketA little more description please. Best case would be a complete component list with everything precalculated.. What I need to know is hight. (between 1 and 10 meters in your case), which engine you're using and the amount of fueltanks, payload and other devices.

The autopilot increases the safety with 10%. (Technically it lowers the chance of failure with 10%). Depending on how good the rest of the rocket is, this might lead to a near failure proof rocket.

SoHowAreYou: I'll trade you my battery blueprints, and all future design upgrades on them, for 2.00 in Quantum Computing.

Research
-Dr Fuerza and Dr Pabulo design better Vasimir fuel
-Dr Faust increases the fuel use of the Vasimir more
-Dr Distinto commercialises the Solar Panels

Design
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Construction
1 'Relampagos' and 4 'Amigo de Cohete'

Missions
The Relampagos, with the 4 Amigo de Cohete and a Comm Sat (with battery scotchtaped on) will be launched out of the solar system. Apply PR and 2000 to butter up the press. (With my maths I can get 656kg out of orbit)

Other
The Fuel Scientist shall be known as Dr Pabulo, and the General Scientist as Dr Distinto.
The Perajo Cantor II design is retired.

Expenditure
5000+? (1k Vasimirs, 1k Fuel, 1k Solar Cells, 2K rocket launch, ? rocket construction)

I have a few questions before I do my turn:
  • Have I reached the maximum power of the kerosene fuel?
  • Am I doing anything wrong with regards to getting funding for communications satellites, or am I just unlucky?
Also my astronauts don't seem to have trained since last turn, but there might be a reason for this.

Dr James, may we broker a deal? You have lots of money, and I will soon have little. Here is my deal. ALL of my techs, for 20.000.
