(For clarity: “probably end year” was intended to mean “if nothing surprising happens I won’t take another turn”. I’ll be playing in YSDC’s on-line RPG convention this afternoon so may be unavailable.) ---

(As before I will not end the year until everyone has rolled a d100) ---

So to sum it up I wasted 6 probes in fiery explosions for $12, that leaves me with $13 and nothing to show. I think I need some retail therapy. - 3 Atlas rockets for $12 - 1 Supplies for $1 (they keep right? That’s like army rations or Nixon Sandwiches?) I’m done with this year. PS: having played with Stations recently I find the types of components available… restrictive. ---

I believe you can’t buy supplies unless you have life support researched. ---

Oh, too bad. Then the $1 goes wherever leftover funds go. ---

Right! Lots of reliable Saturn space available; slots of 5 or 20. ---

Reliable Atlas would cost you ¤10/mass. Reliable Soyuz (once someone has it) would be ¤8/mass. The one drawback to launching with me is that right now you can’t safely share with another customer (once we have reliable rendezvous you can). I think this year ¤20 gets you 4-5 mass to LEO. @yashima gets another 3 mass to LEO free because of the minor development problems last year and for continued rendezvous testing. ---

Success. (Pay off success $10) Fire juno and launch probe to lunar fly by. ---

Juno fires successfully, undertake lunar survey. (Hmm an interesting result.) Buy probe and 2 Juno’s for $4 End turn. @yashima is up! ---

Thank you @RogerBW … I was going to give up on the testing and pursue another avenue. So 3 more probes. (My thinking goes that if I send three and have a failure early in testing that needs removing I have another two components to test and hopefully complete testing that way). So $6 for probes leaves me with $20 thanks to the mini loan to @RossM 🙂 Then do Rendezvous testing and then see how many dollars are left over. I really need to sit down and think over my long term plans as I fear that what I planned to do isn’t going to work out at all.
