Diogines posted:Well, even if the gravity is not a problem, still sticking with A. If we ever want to hope for our colony to have communication or help Old Earth, the closer the better. It also seems to have the lowest gravity? Lower gravity means easier insertion of satellites into orbit! I want to know why there's hydrogen lines coming from C. I admit this vote is more about making the game interesting than optimizing our chances. Anyway, with mostly oxygen and nitrogen there's a good chance we'll need only very simple breathing equipment, if any. Ralith fucked around with this message at 04:58 on Aug 23, 2016 |

Hold on, why are solar implants even a thing? Do we expect to spend most of our time naked? Just get a solar T shirt or something! Rescinding my vote for solar.

ACF why would we not play it safe? Gently advise Bedia that next time you awake you expect to have a detailed written report waiting for you. Our wake-up times are known in advance, there's no excuse for not being expected, or for not having information like "exactly how long has the reactor been malfunctioning" readily available Wake up our security guy too. Almost certainly unnecessary, but why not? He's a soldier, he can deal with a few headaches.

F is the one most likely to impact our planning, I think. We should spend a year or two orbiting the planet, maybe gradually awakening small numbers of scientists to study it from orbit, before we start mass-thawing people, so that we can plan things which as much information as possible if that wasn't already the plan.

vorebane posted:Wait a sec, this planet is 1.6 larger in volume, 3 times the mass and only 1.1 times the gravity? I feel like something is off in the math. V = 4/3 pi r^3 V_earth = 1, V_new = 1.6 (3/(4 pi) V)^(1/3) = r r_earth = ~0.62, r_new = ~0.73 F_new / F_earth = (G 3 m2 / r_new^2) / (G 1 m2 / r_earth^2) = (3/~0.53) / (1/~0.38) = ~2.19 Yeah, that doesn't seem right. But F_new / F_earth = (3/1.6^2) = 1.17 So that's probably the real deal. The upside to this: if this planet works out, gravity will be about the same but there'll be about 1.6^2 = ~2.6 times the amount of space. Score!

Yeah, let's absolutely pry for more details. What're their best theories? What actions can we take to learn more? Can we drop off a probe in a useful orbit on our way in or something?

Outrail posted:We're not firing it ahead of us, we're just detaching it before we start to decelerate. The only thing we have to make sure is that the heading is correct and that there's nothing of the ship ahead of the probe. It wouldn't be useful to detach a probe until we're more or less done decelerating, because a probe won't have the delta-v necessary to decelerate from interstellar velocities. We can probably drop it off on the way in, but it seems like that'll be after we next wake up.

E > B > D > A We have future science, I don't think geothermal power is going to be really super important to us. I mean, it's nice and reliable, but even the most unreliable systems can be made reliable with enough redundancy. Let's focus on stuff that we can't easily fix. Although I bet we could warm the place up a bit with some mass-scale greenhouse gas production or orbital mirrors... H 2.5% of our colonists should not represent a major loss of manpower, particularly given that a large proportion of them would be likely die pretty soon anyway. All that death would be bad for morale too. This seems like a pretty easy decision, to be honest, not sure what our scientist's deal is. Maybe her ex is in that group? Chocolate Chunk posted:C > B > E We can get heat off of the geothermal power, even if our outdoor excursions may be more limited than somewhere warmer. Ensuring that we have that power and don't die from Rocks Falling, our biggest priority is not dieing from radiation.

Faerunner posted:Depending what the probe tells us about the composition of the landing site, we COULD dig and partially bury shelters to help with radiation shielding. I know very little about radiation - how much dirt or rock do we need to have above us in order to effectively manage radiation? Is there lead available on the planet surface, and/or can we re-use the water shielding idea from the ship? Actually... in theory, filling a space in the walls with flowing geothermally-heated water would give us warm interiors AND radiation shielding! Right?

Furthermore, if we eventually find ourselves in a position to mess about with the climate enough that people want to spend lots of time outside, we're probably going to be equipped for mass relocations if necessary. Terraforming is a literally astronomical scale project after all.
