NP my friend. Join us when you can. Anything scheduled and already in R&D will be processed. Just no new orders will be added.

And thanks for the heads up.


Cheers, Thor

Mav, your turn has been processed and sent out.

Will do the same until you return or the current schedule runs out.



Cheers, Thor

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%.

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.

All turns, except for Gav's, has been processed and the next turn sent out.



Cheers, Thor

Gav, you sent me the wrong sheet. It is the march sheet I sent you.

Are there any purpose to sounding and sub-orbital rockets?

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.


Cheers, Thor

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.


Cheers, Thor

no shoddy fireworks though, if i am going to blow up a million dollar launch, i want above average explosives!

If it goes bang, expect it to be with typical British plumb!

Bummer bud. If you have a friend who does, make him DL them so you can read them!



Cheers, Thor

All May turns have been processed. All June turns have been sent out.

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
