Hey guys!
Been a while since I've made any announcements here. I've been real busy lately between work and life in general, but I still find some time to work on various projects as you may have noticed.
In light of the recent beta updates and the coming campaign mode update, I've decided to shift gears a little bit. It would seem that many of my current crafts are suddenly obsolete(in some cases useless). I've also learned a lot about the game and improved my abilities since making many of those crafts, so it's a good excuse to start fresh and make use of that.
Therefore, I've decided to make the following changes to my previous plans/goals:
- ALL testing/production of Magellanic 1 launch vehicles will be suspended until further notice. LVs 004-006 are being considered for retrofit and use as test articles, however this is pending a complete redesign of the Magellanic 1 system, including test/launch facilities.
- Development of OrbITech's first fully reusable launch vehicle, the Eudyptula, will be my primary focus in tandem with the redesign of the Magellanic 1.
- The FLiPRe engine will begin development as an in house replacement for the currently used engines on all OrbITech vehicles. FLiPRe Vac will be a vacuum optimized version of the engine for second(and tertiary) stages.
- A special engine R&D facility will be constructed at the Droo Desert Base to support FLiPRe development. This will include test stands and firing platforms of different kinds including a "rocket sled".
- A new R&D facility will be constructed at the Old DSC for IRS "special projects".
- KOZMOsoft ™ will continue to crank out programs, although the pace might be slower for a while as we spinoff the division into its own company.
- Much, much more is in the works, but it all depends on the next update or 2
Thank you all for the continued support and have a great day/rest of the week!
