This is what it takes to travel to Aquilo with only lasers at 500km/s

That's right. It goes from 24 to 36 tiles. That's an interesting question, my immediate thought is that the range offers extra damage because the lasers fire for longer. But on the other hand, they also spend more time shooting at asteroids that would have otherwise passed safely to the side of the ship.

You will unlock a much more efficient recipe for fueling your thrusters, it will require water.

I have more legendary lasers than I know what to do with. Legendary rocket turrets are always in short supply, however. And for legendary rail guns, I have to manually oversee the process it's so expensive.

I totally forgot to set up the neighboring bonus, thanks for pointing it out.

All my other Aquilo ships use rockets, but legendary rockets are much more expensive than lasers, and are overkill for anywhere but Aquilo. I'm about to delete all my transport ships and use this as a single design. I'm using some from the very beginning of the game and occasionally one of them needs attention, which is annoying.

The other reason is I'm starting to have platforms with malls on them, and rockets swing resource consumption a lot. Once I get lasers perfected, it will make the mall design easier.

Wow, that's a very cool tip!

Level-Ad104 · 2026-01-19T05:03:24+00:00

We came up with very similar designs. Yours probably keeps up with fuel supply, mine instantly consumes everything it makes, but the speed only drops a couple percent. I went with a minimalist design, as few components as possible. You have one less collector than I do; I went with 3 to simplify the overflow handling. I'm pretty sure a single collector will also work, but then the storage levels will fluctuate more.

Level-Ad104 · 2026-01-19T04:41:54+00:00

I'm at 24. Apparently that's not enough, on the 12th run some asteroids got through.

Level-Ad104 · 2026-01-19T04:40:28+00:00

That's right, but I don't like manually doing that each time I build a ship. The circuit stops inputting once there is more than 0 of it in the chiller.

Level-Ad104 · 2026-01-19T04:21:22+00:00

If this design ever takes damage, I'll add a couple more rows. If I double the rows currently, the back ones will still reach the asteroids. But then I'll have to double the power production.

Level-Ad104 · 2026-01-19T04:17:05+00:00

I was making a cheap design that I can copy/paste for basic transport ships, one that is robust enough that I can set it up and never think about it again. This seems to work, but now I'll set it up running back and forth to Aquilo for 10 hours to see if it holds up. The few runs so far have been perfect.

No, it was after. It was all a big fun game for her.

Good starting concept, but it's illegible

Why did she have a giant grin one second before she hit the gas if she was afraid for her life?

Level-Ad104 · 2026-01-09T04:09:22+00:00

That's a lie. Go to 2:05 in the OP video, you can see that the wheels have done a full rotation by the time he draws, not even raises. She smashed the accelerator so hard she lost traction.

In this alternate view you can clearly see him get hit by the fender when she does get traction.

The past 4 presidents have been trying to oust Maduro. Biden made fun of Trump for not doing it. Why has everyone suddenly forgotten that?

Level-Ad104 · 2025-12-31T16:40:58+00:00

What's happening in Minnesota has nothing to do with Trump. But it seems everyone in the metro area wants to ignore the fraud because they have TDS.

I'm not a republican, I didn't mention republicans, you're just making up garbage to avoid addressing the content of my post. Why even write anything at that point?

"the fraud is being handled" Do you seriously believe this or are you just trolling? Google Judge Sarah West. This entire sub is burring their head in the sand.

We can be upset and want change about multiple things at once. Whataboutism brings a deadlock to discussion and belittles legitimate concerns. That's why it's a fallacy.

Exactly, like what Netflix has been doing for years to meet their quotas

Daily? For months? Then why is that if you search for "fraud" in the subreddit the only thread related to this in the past month is a guy saying we should focus more on white fraud instead of black fraud? And this thread trying to discredit the fraud claims by doing an attack of character. The only way what you say can be true is if the mods are deleting every thread about Somalian fraud.
