Spaceship component stats

[dom111]

Hey all, not sure if this is of any value to anyone (or if it's been posted before, but I couldn't find it if that's the case!), but I've been looking into the various values associated with the spaceship components and thought I'd share. Also, if any of this is incorrect, please let me know!

Mass

SS Structural	100
SS Fuel	400
SS Propulsion	400
SS Habitation	1600
SS Life Support	1600
SS Solar Panel	400

This isn't technically correct as there are also 500 extra tons added to the overall weight over the first four and one further SS Structural pieces (I haven't yet ascertained if this is SS Structural pieces in specific locations or after a certain number are in situ...)

Flight Time

This looks to be a calculation of Mass / Propulsion.

Propulsion (p)	Mass (m)	Flight Time
0	200	10
0	7100	355
1	3400	15.4
1	3800	17.2
1	7500	34
2	4400	10.4
2	6000	14.2
2	6800	16.1
2	6900	16.4
2	7900	18.8
3	8300	13.3
4	8700	10.6
5	9100	8.8
6	9500	7.7
7	9900	6.9
8	10300	6.3
8	13500	8.3
8	13900	8.5
8	15500	9.5
8	17100	10.5
8	17500	10.8
8	19100	11.7
8	20700	12.7
8	21100	13
8	22700	14
8	24300	15
8	24700	15.2

Currently the following appears to fit the values:

(m / 20) / (1 + (p * 10))

Chance of success

I currently assume this is the product of something like

energy provided (ep) / energy required (er) * life support provided (lp) / life support required (lr)

but I think there's a bit more to it.

I've got a basic version in the works, but if this is something anyone knows, I'd love to hear about it. I wonder if I need to look into the debugging tutorials elsewhere in the forum...
