Re: Aurora 4X, Back to More Accessible Stars
Majno,
Yeah, that's entirely expected. This is because cargo ships, and anything else built with purely commercial components, don't have maintenance failures the way military ships do. They don't have to worry about deployment time or morale, either.
Survey ships, or anything built with other components which mark them as military only, do have to worry about deployment time and maintenance failure.
YOu'll notice there's a line in the cargo ship design which says, "This design is classed as a Commercial Vessel for maintenance purposes." If your design says that, then you won't have any maintenance issues.
If I may critique your designs, both ships are very slow. You can add more than one engine on a ship, and that will tend to increase speed drastically. Also, your cargo ship has very poor range, it will possibly be able to make it to Jupiter or asteroids, but will probably run out of fuel fairly easily.
Finally, your exploration ship has a deployment time of only 6 months, which is pretty short. It has a surprisingly long maintenance life, but your crew will find themselves cramped and complaining about the close quarters long before they managed to get any work done. IF you increase the ship's speed and deployment time you can actually use some of that range without having constant morale issues.
Hope this helps.
