Take charge of the US or Soviet space agencies - your duty is be the first to the moon. Carefully manage your budget by opening programs, spending R&D funds on improving the hardware, recruiting personnel and astronauts and launching space missions in this realistic turn based strategy game.

More things observed

Post by kokubokan25 »

Remarks about my last two plays with 0.7.21 and 0.7.22

1-A random event triggered causes my budget drops at once 23000$. This is very absurd because my initial budget is only 25000$ left me with 3000$ in 3/1957...

2-In animation screens of the Apollo orbital flight, launched in Saturn IB, the animation shows the Saturn V.

3-Success in Venus multiprobe shows the Venera 15 success patch.

4-During mission "Gemini Trans Stage Uncrewed test", the Saturn IB appears lift-off outside of the Pad.

And finally, a question:

-Sometime in the future will see the return of the Saturn mission?

Thanks.

Hello fremen,

Thanks for reporting this. Do you have savefiles for all this observations? It makes our life a lot easier if you provide the savefiles, so that we can test that the solution works.

Cheers,

Not sure if this is the right place to report this, but rather then make a new thread, I thought I would post some observations here.

Just finished a GSA Campaign game with the newest patch. Not only did it run smoothly, but the balancing of money and prestige felt better this way. I was able to do the Historical Apollo landing in 1st Quarter 1970, and I probably could have done it at the same time as the historical one if I had rushed it.

I still don't feel like you have time to go do anything else NOT directly Moon related though -- no probes to other planets, no Viking missions, etc. -- due to the tight time and budget restraints. I'd like to see prestige scaled down for successful stuff to encourage you go do other things, and increase the budget gains with each quarter so that you can hire more R&D people faster and open more programs and do more launches.

But the game is coming along VERY well. [:D]
