My GOD so many rocks on the way.

Space Boat v1 had 4 guns, and died immediately.

Space Boat v2 had 10 guns, and manged to barely get there by manually pausing thrust several times, then getting smashed in orbit by Fulgora’s drifting medium asteroids because it ran out of ammo.

Space Boat v3 has 28 guns protected by walls and a stockpile of ammo. It can get there and back again. Time will tell if it has production capabilities to survive parking in Fulgora orbit.

    Nice. I went to Vulcanus first. I’m almost at the stage where I can leave the surface again. How’s Fulgora treating you so far? And is your Nauvis base capable of supplying you with everything you need?

      It’s pretty good! Past some basic production stuff, it got self-sufficient pretty quickly.

        My favorite part is the peacefulness of it all. Everyone and everything on that planet is long dead. No biters. No evolution. No bulldozer worms. No pentatanks.

          I just managed to get science and rocket production up and running in Vulcanus. I just need to bring some modules there, and it’s good enough for now. Took me a while to figure out how to deal with a particular thing that I will not mention because of spoilers, but now that it’s sorted I can leave the base mostly as it stands

          So, finally I have what I need for cliff explosives, which is what is preventing me from growing my Nauvis base. So while I do some major cleanup of obstacles and prepare for moving into a larger base, I’ll build a new interplanetary transport (more storage, mainly) and prepare for the next planet. Fulgora sounds like a nice destination.
