Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars
@milos I see a few issues with this design.
1. Do you have no maintenance checkbox checked in game creation? If not, then this ship will only last for 6 months in space!
2. The deployment time is 3 months. This is generally not good for a survey ship, because you don't want to micromanage it every three months. set it to 24 months or 36 months, so your crew can feel comfortable exploring your system for a longer time.
3. Your engine is way, way underpowered. You have a good technology for engines,but you're not properly using it. make it larger! make it like 40 to 60 hull size. decrease its power to like 70% or 80% to reduce the rate of which it eats fuel.
4. Aim for between 15-20 billion km range with your fuel tanks, If you want this ship to explore the sol system only. Aim between 150 to 250 billion, If you want to use this ship later on to go explore other systems, I don't recommend the second option right now for you.
5. You have unnecessary equipment on ship. Active sensors are for ships that have weapons and for combat scout ships. they are not used for survey ships.
Reactors are for powering weapons, you don't need it for ships that have no weapons, at all.
6. Add small em sensors and maybe small thermal sensors to your survey ships that are sent to explore other systems, (not your current system). As they allow you to detect other colonies and ships.
