[b]Space Explorers! We’re coming back to you with a bunch of exciting news! New rocket division, improved mission planning, asteroids, and DEMO! [/b] [b]Space Exploration[/b] You’re not flying there blind! We’ve added new functions of exploration and discovery, which will give you information about what you can find on a chosen object. While it is not as accurate as sending a probe, the cost is significantly lower. At this point, you may ask: Why would I need resources on a different object? [b]Launch Vehicles and Spacecrafts[/b] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38448667/031c986d244184746f28a7bbb90362760dc0b77a.jpg[/img] To experience as realistic space travels as possible, we have introduced the division of our rockets into: [list] [*] Spacecrafts (that travel through space, obviously). [*] Launch Vehicles (that just deliver stuff to orbit). It can be a rocket, but also a spin launch system or electric catapult too. Or in the future - a space elevator. [/list] Now you can adjust the cargo load and fuel necessary for your missions more efficiently, and be well prepared for any kind of space voyage! [b]Porkchop plot and updated mission planning panel[/b] [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/38448667/63058f5015df2b20fea27e63131f92e3b1744b03.jpg[/img] Speaking of missions - planning is now more detailed than ever before. It has been divided into convenient and intuitive sections to ensure easy setup. Moreover, we added a porkchop plot! This chart, used in actual space mission planning, will help you to choose a perfect launch window for your flight. The Axis represents the departure and arrival date, while the color represents the cost. Green line represents the Orbital Transfer Trajectory.

Just click “Optimal” and the game will do the rest. [b]FINAL DEMO RELEASE[/b] We are extremely excited to announce that you will soon be able to experience our game yourselves, as a [b]demo version is finally coming in February 2024[/b]! Stay tuned! See you in space, SolEx dev team @ Jutsu Games
