I work with BOT and Sunrise to help make these updates. So I'm really reluctant to make plans for them each turn, too.
You can send multiple Pathfinder visits to Mars, so you can build all 20 base facilities for phase one in the same turn by spending 26 Pathfinder Days. (Or do five trips for 65 Pathfinder Days, if you're willing to spend the IP as well.)
Yeah I figured but I also want to up the Assembler because then we can do 2 free parts a turn to the venus station (and at 4 parts a trip just do a trip a turn spending only 20IP). Plus closes on the next phase of the assembler which increases our IP and makes some research cheaper. Not done filling out, for example have PT time to spend, though I take it maintenance is something attached to each mission?
...Uranus is another gas giant. It should require 0/10 Observation Satellites like Saturn and Jupiter do.
I'd group Miranda and Umbriel under Minor Moons + Rings? Because past Ariel they all get a lot smaller.
The 3 days maintenance is already added to the trip times, yeah.
Cool, and is there a list of what we have done for mission planning? Like is there anything to plan for Saturn at this point for orbital scans?
The cutoff point for when we stop doing individual moons and lump them under "Minor Moons + Rings" is pretty arbitrary, mostly for gameplay reasons. I think since Titan is absolutely huge compared to the rest, Saturn is all already planned out fully. You could do all of Saturn's probing in one turn if you want.
I had that, then decided to get phase 1 of the mines out and no longer had the Pathfinder Time
You could just not do Pathfinder Drive Testing.
It's not any more obligatory than any other choice, and the G-Drive Improvement Program will finish in a turn or two regardless. Good luck convincing the thread to go along with that, tho.
Well it does let me deliver the free part to venus station for some pathfinder time. Also I imagine G-Drive improvement would cut transit times making it more valuable to finish sooner than later. Or is that one free station part overall?You could just not do Pathfinder Drive Testing.
Oh, yeah, that isn't clear. It's one free station part per turn, total, to use on any station. Not one free station part per station. (Not really sure how to clear that up, tbh. Maybe we'll fix it next time.)
Yeah so that dropped the venus mission, feels a bit awkward to leave 24 days unused but there is no where to use them (rover missions need IP which I would rather have go to the assembler because that will help us out more)
What planet is this for?
Whatever has not been done since there does not seem to be a list anywhere

I see they already named the Craterscope for Carter.
