What is the cheapest spaceship I can make? Fastest meaning fastest to build with 100% success rate.
 
Has anyone ever seen a space ship fail? I have beaten the AI with a 100% ship lots of times and lost the space race lots of times but have never seen the AI ship fail
 
The ship only 'fails' if you lose your capital after launching your ship. The 100% number is just the number of colonists that will survive the trip and thus the number of colonists you get bonus points for.

So, if you launch a ship with 10,000 colonists on it and have a 75% success rate, you will get 75 points when the ship lands instead of the usual 100 points for a 100% ship.
 
I've always thought it means that your spaceship blowsup or something.
 
So fastest to build would be 1 Solar Panel, 1 Habitation, 1 Life Support, 3 Propulsion, 3 Fuel, and 15 Structural?
 
Had a good game going over the weekend, except I was in Republic and though I was in Democracy for a hundred turns, post # 2 for Human stupidities thread.
Anyway, playing as the Chinese, the Sioux and Babylonians steal their way into the space race but I am way ahead. So they both attack, and lacking howitzers and stealth fighters the fall pretty quickly, I make it to the respective capitals and take them. They each have the 1000g necessary to move it and the spaceship a couple of times but in the end they were burned on the pad. After which the congress halted my peacekeeping activities.
Now, without a capital both begin to build a second ship, but without a capital how do you find it?????? Strangely, they both built 1 structure then to the best of my knowledge stopped building parts. The Babylonians attacked again and I took several cities but no spacecraft so far. Seemed kind of strange so I thought I would share.
 
If they are building a spaceship, but has no capital, you'll have to destroy the whole civ. It's the same for you. I've heard about strategies to starve down the capital and build a settler so that you don't have a capital. Then your spaceship wont crash when they capture your capital, since you don't have any.
 
Its actually easier to build a city and move your palace.Keep the city size 1 with 1 defender and no walls.The city can only be destroyed not captured which makes it impossible to stop a spaceship.As mentioned, complete wipeout becomes only choice with time running out.

More of a MP plan which most I'm sure would consider cheating nowadays.Should a MP game actually go that far :rolleyes:
