Project Prosperous: Children of a Prosperous Earth Campaign

The story isn't finalized yet, so it may be subjected to changes, but I think those ships will get used in the campaign one way or another.
As for the current level, I think a design for a ~1kt refueler and maybe also the cargo station would be nice.

The cargo freighter is an EAM ship, and not strictly AHI's, so anybody's design is accepted, provided that they have a company that can build a ship. Make sure the propellant of choice is of the same type! lol
And the NESR siloship is also open for submissions.

For (not strictly) preferred specifics, the freighter may uses methane (for GCNR) and/or real world ion drive propellant (for MPD), has a delta-v of at least 10 km/s, and has GCNR (emulation mod) as at least a type of propulsion. Make sure acceleration is high enough that the mission can be completed before enemy nuke missiles get them.

Yeah, this is what I found interesting. The intended result is that the player companies will side with either of the factions and support them by selling their stuff. In the end they all won.

This is probably one of the harder parts of the game as I have zero knowledge related to politics... 

Beamed propulsion is only mentioned, of course. The beam station can be modeled, though.
And yeah, it is going to be really troublesome. I might need to export the whole Imports folder for all the ships, and a bunch of other files.

One of my weak points in CDE is designing nuclear reactors, so I have to rely on other members.
Stock modules, uh, well they're realistic but what would Apophys Electrics be doing, then?

If Apophys can work on a new set of 'even more realistic' reactors (reasonably realistic power to weight ratio, also maybe lower fuel enrichment?), I'll use them. Otherwise, I'll keep using Apophys insane science because lol. But ships using stock reactors are also accepted, of course.
Have I mentioned that we need RTGs that won't destroy everything within 10 m with radiation yet?

Look at OP.
Project Prosperous is set in a universe where many companies exist and some of them are players in the war. If you want to see your company inside the campaign, you can submit your company.

I assumed that AE is involved in all kinds of high-power infrastructure constructions all around the Solar System, but it's fine if you think you wouldn't be doing that around Mercury.
Modded materials are fine except bulk 2D graphene and related stuff. Too OP.
As for ships, I imagine that they would be more advanced, thus GCNR ships. High-power MPDs are also widely used in many interplanetary transfer ships. Their propellants are probably separated, and I can't imagine how methane would react if it is used in an ion drive.

Not sure if I should accept player colonies or if they'll ever play a part in this, but a city built around your company's HQ is fine. Any opinions?



Colony: Titan's Seoul (pun obviously intended)

Oh, I think I should also start asking for everyone's companies' alignment in the war. Three choices: NESR, EAM or SAR.

Get a miner ship and put it in orbit around some other Saturn moons. Boom, your company got a cameo. Now if you want you can write a desc of your company. Examples are in the OP.

Right now, I have some ideas for levels, such as a mothership sending drones down to attack a powerful warship stuck in low Europa orbit, Calisto -> Himalia mission, or maybe an orbital transfer to attack a fleet around a dwarf planet (probably Pluto) from Neptune.

Open to suggestions.

I've had few mission ideas for COADE - most intended to be set after the main campaign and intended for some minor (and perhaps somewhat less assholish for a change) faction, but it's more than likely I won't get around to making anything resembling cohesive campaign, so they will probably be better served being dumped into one common marketplace of ideas (it's not like I won't be able to use them then if I'm so inclined).

One is another iteration of the previous one I feel might have potential:
A warship ends up in a highly eccentric orbit around some body after a skirmish - perhaps it had it's propellant tanks penetrated and venting imparted enough delta-v to change its orbit (with the tanks now patched up but empty) or it was a desperate attempt to buy time against superior incoming force, in any case, the ship is now empty of propellant and ammo and currently ascending along an orbit with periapsis below body's surface.
The enemy fleet tries to get the ship (in case it somehow avoids lithobraking).
You get tanker(s) and an inferior escort fleet and need to get the doomed ship successfully to some "safe" point - either a fortified station or secondary, well armed fleet without delta-v or tankers to actually assist the ship; or an MPDT powered tender/command with its own escort fleet currently flying by the planet/satellite system in a distant, mildly hyperbolic orbit.

Anyway, the gist is getting fragile tankers to the ship and then the defenceless ship, plus possibly tankers (depending on how much delta-v you need) away in limited time and with deteriorating orbital situation while potentially getting shot at.

After casually strolling and scrolling around for a while, I noticed that there are quite a few stuff I could make out of the ideas (if the owners of the idea give me permission to do so).

Examples are such as thorneel 's
Featherlights Challenge - Thorneel's entry
The mission could be the situation described itself. The player is hired to be a guard, and defends the space station against said incoming ship before time runs out and the ship reaches the station.

And apophys 's 100 GW MPD ship brachistochrone in ToughSF discord server.
Possibly a race against time to deliver personnel from Apophys Electrics' headquarter on asteroid Apophis to Earth/Mars or other objects in the inner Solar System.

The Astronomer Damn, this project is pretty damn cool, can't believe I haven't checked it out for this long...
Would modded armor materials with more realistic thermal capacity against lasers be interesting? Or are modded materials a no-go for this here?
