Mav, your turn has been processed and sent out.
Will do the same until you return or the current schedule runs out.

Ken, sometimes we just have to take a chance, but it should be a reasonable one. anything less then 50% is a waste of a shot really. The same can be statistically argued up to roughly 70%.

Re: Playtest One Discussion
Agreed. The only reason I beat Mav to the punch in launching a Orb Sat first was that I took a chance. My LEO Rocket safety was 83%. But I got away with it the first time. Then it turned around and bit me in the backside on the second launch.
As an aside, as the GM I do my entire year out before we even begin the Jan of the upcoming year. This way there can be no conflict of interest.

Re: Playtest One Discussion
Sure, you can use the Sub-Orb Rocket to do sub-Orb missions. Such as in animal and manned sub-Orb missions.
Other than that, no, not in this game.

All April turns have been processed, and May turns sent out.
Guys, do me a favor and do not make entirely new sheets to send back to me. I am constantly tweaking the sheets so when you make a completely new one those are wiped out.
So just put your orders on the sheet I send you and return that sheet, not a new one.
Thanks guys.

I see the dread New Years bug has forced a halt to all Space flight activity today! Not one person has submitted a turn!
So I will expect everybody's turn in by 8am 2 Jan.
That is 2am the 3rd, for Gav!
Happy New Year, Thor
