Plan Outrail. Also I think asking for input isn't necessarily a sign of weakness or incapability. If your department heads feel like you value their input they'll be more positively disposed towards you.

If we must make uneducated layman's guesses, we shouldn't phrase them like we think we're smarter than them. Fair point, that did come across a bit  edit: But seriously, a zero albedo body in the system large enough to cause gravitational anomalies on a scale equivalent to a planet is a pretty big deal and my desire to know more is growing.

That full atmosphere render looks great, and the reduced haze/reduced bluesky one makes sense given (if I remember correctly) that there's a reduced oxygen ratio on Hooboy. It's got a very Iceland in midwinter look to it, very "young world"y

vorebane posted:There's a case to be made. I think we want a rotating shift system between the surface, the ship, and the extensive space platform up at the top of that space elevator I'm going to be voting for. I like this idea. This stops anyone feeling like they're getting permanently saddled with poo poo detail, and it ensures that everyone gets a well-rounded foundation of experience in multiple situations. I don't think we want to fully commit to being terrestrial again and maintaining a regular shipboard routine within the shift rotations helps that.

A geostationary web allowing for maximum coverage around Hooboy. This would have the effects of A, meaning we could project sunlight anywhere on the surface; B, control the intensity of said sunlight; and C, weaponise it if we ever needed to melt frost monsters.

I'm guessing Hooboy has some hellacious winds. How efficient are wind energy generators with the tech available to us, and are they a significantly worse choice than reactors and geothermal power?

Outrail posted:For what it's worth it was around - 28C (-18F) yesterday, and aside from wearing really thick scarves and "Ohh loving coold today eh?" life went on pretty normally. I've been in -40(F&C convergence!) weather, and the worst thing about it was definitely the sapping nature of breathing frozen air. We didn't stay out for more than 20 minutes at a time while digging the vehicles out and took turns sitting in the truck with the heat blasting so I mean it's totally doable, especially with futuretech arctic survival gear replacing Rothco fatigues worn over fleece pajama pants and faux-fur-lined plaid shirts over hoodies.

2E. Tubal seems to have a good handle on what needs done, but prioritising shielding means we can put a greater number of bodies down there on the engineering projects following thereafter. 3N. Not so much a new option as a prioritisation schedule. Cold weather adaptation, radiation resistance and then the greenhouse option. My mind may be changed on this though. edit: amending my vote to Plan McSpanky Hexenritter fucked around with this message at 02:47 on Jan 18, 2017 |
