Space Company Simulator will put you in charge of assembling new rockets. You will choose from a variety of components, including:
- Fuel tanks
- Engines
- Utility modules
- Grid fins
- Rocket struts
- Utility modules
- And more
You start by selecting the rocket blueprint. In the example above, the Small Rocket “Wolf-3” has been chosen - a small, uncomplicated rocket, capable of carrying a limited cargo into the air. Its construction takes 13 turns by default.
By investing in the Component Market, a large selection of components becomes available for purchase. To enhance the rocket above, two components were purchased:
- Small Prototype Engine “Contender” MK-01 - a prototype low thrust engine that can be used with lightweight payloads only. Due to its nature, it is unlikely to be suitable for prolonged use.
- Prototype Fuel Tank “Donkey” FT-1 - a prototype liquid fuel tank, allowing for simple rocket tests and lifting a light object into the air. It can have a problem with ensuring the required amount of fuel to get out of the atmosphere.
- Prototype Cargo Bay CRB-01 - a prototype version of the cargo hold, designed for use in small rockets. Its level of sophistication and performance leaves a lot of room for improvement, but it will be just right for testing.
- Small Strut LDB-01 - a lightweight version of the strut used to reinforce the rocket’s supporting structure. Its low bending strength is compensated for by its use in truss systems, and its weight allows it to be used effectively on small objects and rockets.
- Small Grid Fins LS-1 - thanks to the Grid Fins, this rocket is controllable during the landing sequence. This substandard version is not very advanced, but it is enough to bring our rockets back to the ground. In most cases.
- HGA I - the HGA antenna generates an extremely strong signal that allows better communication with the base.
- IVA Suit - a basic suit used inside spacecraft. Not suitable for spacewalks.
After assembling its components, each rocket can be tested to determine the probability of a successful launch. Lastly, the rocket is assigned to a mission and awaits its start.
With that knowledge, you’re ready to build your first rocket and launch it into space!
