Project COMSTOCK
In December 2035, UNIEB Director Jimmy4400Nav proposed a method of geosurveying Klondike-Kagayan while the Linelayers built the jumpgate to execute War Plan White.
Project: Comstock
1. We research two, very cheap missile designs:
Sifter Bouy Buoy Size: 3 MSP (0.15 HS) Armour: 0 Reactor Endurance: 4.5 months Geo Sensor Strength: 0.02 Maximum points: 64.8 Cost Per Buoy: 1.3 Materials Required: 0.9x Boronide 0.4x Uridium Development Cost for Project: 130RP
Comstock-Sifter Carrier Missile Size: 4 MSP (0.2 HS) Warhead: 0 Armour: 0 Manoeuvre Rating: 10 Speed: 5000 km/s Endurance: 75 minutes Range: 22.5m km Cost Per Missile: 1.6333 Second Stage: Sifter Probe x1 Second Stage Separation Range: 0 km Overall Endurance: 135 days Overall Range: 22.5m km Chance to Hit: 1k km/s 50% 3k km/s 10% 5k km/s 10% 10k km/s 5% Materials Required: 0.9x Boronide 0.4x Uridium Fuel x1250
2. We manufacture several runs of the missile and probes, enough to reliable cover Klondike 1 through 5 and scan them for data.
3. We send a pair of Cape Towns through and run them on low power, once close enough to a body, they will launch their payloads at one of the worlds, saturating it geo-scanners.
4. The Cape Towns will then return through JP and rinse an repeat as needed.
I realize thats asking to put some of our soldiers at risk for mineral data, but this data can tell us exactly how to plan for the future, especially with what we're doing with the KK system. It would suck for us to spend the next two years planing this massive invasions, only for us to get there and go "oh crap, no ores!"
