The Western Isles Space Station (OOC, TWI Only)

[Corindia]

Is it possible for Razzgriz to join in on this project?

Yes, especially now that Scantarbia appears to have quit (which is itself a shame tbh). This goes for Altera too, btw, we have a few openings because of it.

We'll definitely be able to handle the solar panels, though I question why only one is being sent up during phase 1.

Yeah we talked about that, must have been somewhere else, probably going to send up 2

[Trigel]

Is it possible if Trigel can be in? I am interested.

Sure, I think the heat dissipators are unaccounted for if you want to be the nation that makes them!



btw, Altera, did you want to handle the arm now that Scantarbia CTE'd?

Oh yes, yes yes yes yes please.

Awesome, consider it yours. I'll also be making an effort to construct a timeline of when each piece was/should be launched and by which nation. It's not obvious what's been done at a glance

Launch Timeline:

Hub module - May 25, 2020 by Dothrakia

Fantastic news article! Love seeing MALLARD in action once again.

I know I was off map for a time but now that I've wrapped up school and got settled at my job I'll be back.

[Uprea]

Greetings, wondering if it would be possible for me to join the project.
Uprea is ready to construct whatever module is needed to further speed along the completion of the station.

Would you like to retroactively handle Mik's old life support module?

Would you like to retroactively handle Mik's old life support module?

That is very much possible. Should I use the graphic you made previously to orientate myself for scale and etc.

Yes. I'll have to make some versions that break down the modules without showing national flags.

Hey all, I made this real quick so we can have some graphics for news posts. It's a little crude but it gets the point across

non shrunk version: https://imgur.com/Lgcbzw7

Sounds good! I will use this, just as a reference to what the module could look like. What modules, out of the portrayed, are already in space? Is this even still the plan or do we have/make a new one?

I think it's just the Lab module from Aizcona and maybe some of the odds and ends Scantarbia was going to make. I say odds and ends as if they aren't incredibly important, lol. There's still going to be a regular back and forth of crew, supplies, experiments, potentially more expansions, etc of course.

I don't really intend to drastically change the structure of the station, I think we actually worked out a pretty reasonable, if ambitious, design, but I'm open to alterations. Those could be in character too, as the station is used and things inevitably need to be repaired or upgraded.

Alright so there is something to dock to, sounds good. I really liked the design as well so I am glad we are keeping it that way.
So now what are the next steps or is that up to me.
I would set a time period for the actual construction of the module and will plan the launch once that is finished. I do already have the rocket constructed which would be my Pallas Rocket (can carry up to 20,000 kilos into low earth orbit which should suffice for the module, assuming the station is in LEO, you can check out my factbook for more information). Finally I would include the construction process as well as the final launch and docking in a few news dispatches.
How does this sound? Feel free to give me any tips or pointers on what to do different, etc.
Of course if there are other launches as well or if there is a supply mission needed first I would orientate myself on such.
Also , since you mentioned in character discussion. Would these happen on this exact forum as well or is there a separate IC one?

so you making the module would be retroactive, that's one of the more annoying things about slotting people in. You could still run a news story detailing how it went down, some repairs being made, or it reaching full capacity, but canonically it's already up there.

There's no specific IC thread just for this, it's been done through news posts so far. We could make one if there were some ideas for an arc, or maybe one offs could go in some of the general TWI RP threads.

Ah I see okay thanks for the tip. Well, I will add it to my factbook then. Nevertheless I will set up a supply mission since the last time that happened is probably a while ago.

On another topic, is talk about a moon base or mars base to futuristic? I mean with advancements made in real life, setting up camp on another celestial body is probably not that far away.

[Aizcona]

I would say so atm for TWI. Doing that is something only the most powerful countries in the world are able to do

If Scantarbia's contributions no longer exist IC, Ioudaia can pick them up. The new GDPpc cap has given us some extra buying power.

Good to know. Makes sense since it would probably need a budget that would nearly be impossible to lever.

Ok, I believe Altera picked up the arm from him but you can do panels/dissipators
