I just wanted to repost this message in case you didnt see it.. if you did then great, but i would like to see some replies.
I realy like your suggestion. A few problems. You want all these toys for space... realy making a big push for space.. great.. awsome even. But... I cant even build a space center, on immediate order for 3 real days now, in 2 different countries. Cant buy a space shuttle.. none for sale. Why? cause its so damned hard to make a shuttle due to shortages of parts and the time it takes to make them, and the shuttle your going to make.. well your gonna keep it.. why? cause they age and you need it.. so no more offers in direct trade. Realy like your goals for space.. but, if theres no centers to launch from or go to and no shuttles beacuse they're like 200 years old, rusting and falling apart then no more space. In one hand your saying.. go space go!! in the other your smashing it to bits.
I am sure that some have already noticed this, it takes 10 fuselage corps to supply 1 shuttle corp. It takes one whole game year to produce 1.2 fuselage, do you see where this is headed? I see it going down the drain. If nothing changes then i can see the space progame in SC comming to a complete standstill. |

Sounds like I'm way behind on my space program.  |

The space program is a little too complicated for (new) players like me and there is little incentive to do space trade if there is no indication how profitable this sort of trade actually is (if it is profitable at all). Add to this the GC cost for shuttles and other space related stuff (like renting docking space at a space station) and it loses all appeal for a player who might be interested in starting his/her space program. |

complicated is good. new features like mining add to the future posability of making more money. it helps to know the market situation of multipal worlds as does producing a product that sells for GC 'like shuttles' to off set costs. Space is not for everyone, and definately not for 3rd world countries. NASA for instance does not produce a profit. |
