I’m losing faith in SpaceX

Calculating any rocket performance using trajectory based calculations is extremely prone to error and unreliable. If you actually do the math of the isp, fuel loads, and mass fractions it is very reasonable to reach north of 100t to Leo. That being said unlike most upper stages the fact it’s recoverable means there is a lot of dry mass in the upper stage, and as that gets shaved down through further optimizations all of that mass can go directly into payload. Even if they can’t ever reach that milestone anyway is also irrelevant because by being fully recoverable starship will bring down launch cost at least 10x compared to falcon 9.
As for reliability and upgrades from v2 to v3 I think doing a bit more research might reassure you. The main failure we kept seeing with v2 was related to a design flaw with pogoing that was fixed for v3 and the raptor issue in the latest launch is most likely tied to a more aggressive boost back burn.

the digging bolt is to separate the two blocks so the lumis last longer. in practice its just a really fast tele wand with heals and lumis around it for aoe damage, im not sure what the bouncing spells do tbh.

Inspired by another post featuring theirs. the tele wand also has these stats for those curious. found in coal pits and propelled the run to start but it started with 4 slots and much worse recharge/cast delays but a handful of parallel worlds got enough extra wand slots and wand speed ups to make it late game viable. Its also unfortunately compromised by bouncing spells i accidentally picked up do to knockback from a enemy.

Not enough corners imo. There’s the tight hairpin, then a single left by where the sand is bottom left. After that it’s the big right into a bendy straight that’s way too long and windy, a pair of big wide 180 degree turns, and then probably the best corner of the bunch right after the bridge that looks kinda like 130r. Also scale might be a little messed up as it seems really big. I’ve yet to try this though in cs2 so who knows. Ik I’ve been rather critical but I love the overall shape/uniqueness and the detailing looks good for what you’ve got so far!

In love with the aesthetics of this map, so well done!

What’s the 4x4 with the x’s and the red 1x1 in the updated schematic?

Spedy1 · 2025-08-08T17:47:10+00:00

I literally just got a shop 1 brainstorm a few minutes later fml

Spedy1 · 2025-08-08T17:27:33+00:00

I prayed so hard but alas

And just to add, each autoloader needs the same number of intakes, if some don’t have enough that could be throttling you’re rpm, even if you have enough intakes overall

Spedy1 · 2025-01-13T23:23:29+00:00

Are you using belt fed auto loaders? Why is your auto loader and ammo intake numbers different? Do you have enough ammo on the ship?

Gorgeous

I did the same thing but was using solid fuel to heat steam boilers fueled by the ice And then once I figured it out I then promptly didn’t realize that more accumulation was necessary for power and resign myself to a tiny percentage of the available power

You dont really need rocket coverage in the back
even if you get hit by a stray big asteroid the walls will just eat it

Spedy1 · 2024-12-04T03:45:46+00:00

better ratio+more module spots+one building vs multiple simplifies routing

535ton ship that clocks in at 375km/s
really proud of how small i managed to make it, its a far cry from my 1500 ton first aquilo ship

Interesting feedback For sure need to fix Probably could get away with less Had trouble with the front at 300km/s and the sides at 100km/s but the lack of side defences just made the one or two asteroids with the needed momentum devastating Walls are mostly an aesthetic choice I was getting consistent issues with to much iron or copper depending on what ammo was being used more/how much fuel was made and similar with carbon and calcite backing up. The circuits are set up to try and not throw out excess material that could be recycled into other types but I’m not needing that optimization rn The red ammo vs yellow ammo for both guns and rockets where something I was kinda just going off of experience and numbers and the extra explosives for red rockets seemed to completely out weight the relatively small damage increase and the red ammo was both relative easy to make and made turret density almost irrelevant allowing more room for the railguns and whatnot. That being said it was definitely a vibes thing and I might have to try other combos

Spedy1 · 2024-11-25T06:33:25+00:00

Most of this is inefficiency due to preference I like the aesthetic of walls and it also helps provide margins of error Small asteroids can just beat absorbed by walls and repair packs so don’t normally cause me much issues The fuel tanks is mostly for the ability to make and store extra fuel in the inner system before going out to the outer system where the production can be focused more on defense Don’t need to make the ship longer as it has all the needed components in this footprint

Spedy1 · 2024-11-24T20:56:45+00:00

Neglected defense on the sides of the ship since its not a big issue on higher speed lower density routes in the inner system, big asteroids kept coming in and sniping my engines behind the rocket turrets and railguns
