Sorry for the real late reply. Blame Football Manager this time.

World Event: Migratory boom!
Big news as a certain nearby star A was determined to have a habitable planet. Well, almost, but pioneers sets up colony, and it soon grows into a city of 10000. Spaceship dealers reports increased sales as space-faring now becomes a real opportunity of landgrab, and people are now willing to invest fortunes into them as a kind of last escape from their home.
Newspaper said it is similar to what happened in the first half of 19th Century in America.
You will expect much better sales on cheap spaceships for the next 2 years. The Altair is a cheap spaceship by design.Research:
-Work on an efficient Thorium Salts Thermonuclear Energy Generator. ThorSTEG for short (unfortunately I found no way to make it a Thor-S.T.E.E.L. acronym. Meh.) (those are fission generators, but safer and cheaper.)
Building:
Build 5 Altair III and sell them to the gov' at 20 creds a piece.

The idea of using a common power system is good in principle, but when testing a criticality incident sent you back to the drawing board. Not quite finished, yet.

Manufacture 5 Altair IIIs and sell them to that government for 20/unit.
Continue research on the new hull.
Name the newly researched engine MC-E-01.
Daniel Murray to design 2 modified Altair IIIs, one using the K-180, one the MC-E-01, instead of the basic engine.
Joanna Jackson to contact and negotiate with a rival government of the one which leaked and ordered the Altair IIIs. She is attempting to make a deal for an order of either or both of the modified Altair IIIs. (Name them AltairIIIA and Altair IIIB, if the name isn't copyrighted.)
All the research facilities are occupied by the hull prototype so modified Altairs will have to wait.
Danial murray continued to whip and wind up everyone in the lab.
([9][7]+1)=2 You finished the size 1 aluminium hull.
You start with the K-180 ([4][7][10!]+1)=24 It is still far from a finished product.
Joanna started to deal with undetermined difficulty ([9][1][3][8][4])+3)
You contacted a small country, which do not have any real access to the Hyperspace industry, but is willing to invest money into equipment.
They are willing to pay you 15 per Size 1 ship for at most 10 of them. Should be enough to keep you alive. Your home government seems to be uninterested for your dealing.

Development
Shelve the Oculus until we have more advanced technologies avaible
Timm De Bruijn: Develop a more advanced version, luxury edition of the Altair III. Integrate automation technology and any new tech available.
Research (Everyone else)
-> Hyperspace communicator
-> Hybrid rocket engines (capable of flying in space and athmosphere)
-> Carbonwaver alloy (Light, heat resistant, and cool looking. Pretty strong too, but hard to fabricate)
-> Micro Hyperdrive
-> Full automation protocols
Production
-> Produce 5 Altair III's to be sold to governement
Timm de Bruijn took the lab for his own, and everyone else sat out because of having nothing to do.
[!1]=1; [10!][6][9][4]=29 Far from acceptable, I would say, for a luxury ride.

...wait a minute, the engine I researched isn't public domain right? So swordsmith would have to pay me to use it correct?
-Regardless, build 5 more Altairs, but try modding them with the new MC-E-101, and try to sell those to the government for a slightly increased price(25 a ship)
-Continue basic railgun research, as well as modular cargo bays
-Attempt another go at the Atlas, using the MC-E-101 engine and railguns for defense
