I'm sure there are other posts dealing with them, but I wanted to do my own synopsis on space.

First: Cargo space

So, by my calculations, I can carry 3 Strat bombs/Nukes/Sub missles. per flight,
while in another flight for the exact same amount of cargo space, i can trade 150,000 soybeans..now have you, here are pictures of each.

3 of these: http://www.hyscience.com/archives/2005/10/has_iran_design.php

or 150,000 of these: http://roberthenryseedcompany.com/soybeans.html

Hmm..Why not carry the 3 bombs, and cover them in soybeans, I should be able to then carry 3 bombs and 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 soybeans.

Second: Space Stations

200gc, for a spot that can only hold 2 strat bombs at a time, or of course, 100,000 soybeans.
I think I'

I'd personally propose two solutions to shuttles. Either will satisfy me.

1. Automatic shuttles. This is my preferred one. Let us define routes for them, and let the shuttles move automatically. If this is too powerful as-is, make them move slower while on autopilot.

2. Bigger cargo space. If W3C does not want them to move automatically, increase their cargo space. Right now a shuttle cannot hold nearly enough cargo to justify all the time and clicks it takes to run them between worlds and/or space stations. Again, if this is too powerful as-is, make them run slower (while heavily loaded?).

Other thought: Let people sell cargo shuttles to each other. I do not understand why they can't.

Being able to sell the things again would be a blessing.

I certainly will agree to the commentary on the pricing and size issues. I think I'm one of the few people utilizing a space station to sell goods that is using the fractional GC capability.

It's still expensive buying from me but paying .06GC for a tactical nuke is still better than .2GC. :)

Switch it to cash, and have the display show something like 1 bomb for 40B or vs. 1 coin for 16.67 bombs. Heck, even 1 bomb for 0.06GC would be an improvement.

Hello, I'm one of the W3C employees.

We're looking into space trade and travel and will at least double capacity of space shuttles and docks, maybe more.

Thanks for all the input, please keep it coming!
