Well the task is simple : to build a warship with material found on lunar! I propose this challenge because I saw many design on forum use rare material in large quantity , which is not realistic , so i have a idea of using common material found on the moons and planets in sol~
Limitation:
.You can ONLY use these following materials: Calcium , Aluminium , silicon , oxygen , iron , magnesium , chromium , potassium , titanium , uranium , thorium , water , hydrogen , helium FOR LASER ARC LAMP GAS ONLY , sodium , fused quartz , silicon dioxide , silica aerogel and aluminium oxide. It sound a lot , or is it? (Exception for nitrogen in crew module.)
.It need to defeat the mission "Main belt extraction" of the core game to be consider a successful warship!
I may post a design of my own later.
AND WELCOME ANY DESIGNS FOR THIS CHALLENGE!
(Really sorry that I keep adding material , which may disrupt your plan of building your own lunar warship...)

Any cost/mass/crew/dv limits/requirements? Or is it a matter of 'if it can do the mission, then its fine'?

No conventional explosives then ?

Are both 233 and 235 Uranium ok? What about dioxides/depleted uranium?

No conventional explosives then ? This means no nukes, and no conventional guns. No lasing medium means no lasers. I guess you could saturate the enemy with kinetic missiles (propelled by, say, LOX + H2, no warhead) and win that way? Or railguns. Or coilguns with iron projectiles. |

You could build a nuke with the silicon nanothermite.
You could build a ruby laser ( AluminumOxide).

Why is there no titanium on this list? It seems to be more abundant on the Moon than on Earth.

Any cost/mass/crew/dv limits/requirements? Or is it a matter of 'if it can do the mission, then its fine'? mass and cred limits should be listed in the campaign mission. Limitations regarding use of ignore range or 1Mm lasers with less than 10kW/m2?
Campaign limits: |

The laser point is moot given that we don't have any workable lasing mediums...

You could build a nuke with the silicon nanothermite. You still need a conventional fast explosive to start the reaction -- unless you mod in your own with those materials. |
