[MN]: Space Agencies

[Administrator]

⌈ SPACE AGENCY RULES ⌋ General

1. Space Agencies must be constructed using the National Project form, valued at $3Billion or more and a minimum of 3 OOC Months. Constructions will come with a Small Landing Platform and Mission Control Center. Agencies must be opened alongside a Corporate Account at your earliest convenience. Countries with a real life Space Agency are considered to have Closed before 1995. The Duration and Funding of these Projects may increase with the discretion of the Player. The quality and effectiveness of any Agency largely depends on these two factors.
   
   
2. Space Agencies must have a MINIMUM 2% Running Cost covering general maintenance, resources and salaries. This must be in place before you roleplay using them. You can submit an Economic Change to adjust your Running Costs, in retrospect of this rule. The Probability of a Successful Launch is determined by the Administrators using a calculator which takes into consideration your Experience, Payload and the Orbit your agency is attempting.
   
   
3. We do not allow Space Colonization, as the technologies to enable humans to live in Space have not yet been developed. Space Colonies would be a massively expensive project, that our current Economy System cannot accommodate for. Outposts and Bases, like the Projected "DLB Lunar Base" will also not be permitted. This is because of the Sustained costs associated with the Project.
   
   
4. Astronauts follow the same process as Military personnel, using the Recruitment Page. These recruits will come with the basic training to prepare them for Space Missions. Players must produce these Astronauts for a minimum of 2 OOC months at a cost of $50,000 (Or more) Per recruit. Astronauts in training will receive BASIC KNOWLEDGE of one introductory skill. For example, Shuttle Training, Flight Controller Training or Rendezvous Docking.

1. All Content in RED is the length of time it will take to Research and develop a new Product for space. Alternatively, Content in GREY is the length of time to produce Products that already exist.
   Please EXCLUDE the first table, as all Launch Platforms are to be built from scratch.
