Spaceship configuration....?

[johnnymiller]

Hi all,
What I need to know is the best way to go about building a spaceship. What are the optimum number of spaceship parts I need to send off a ship with 10,000, 20,000 and 30,000 inhabitants? I've built ships before but I' like to know the exact number of Structural/Components and Modules I need to build the get the best spaceship I can.
Thanks in advance and Ho, Ho, Ho Merry Civ Christmas to you all.

The best spaceship has the following parts:

Structruals 39
Components 16
propel 8
fuel 8
Modules 12
Habitat 4
solar 4
life 4

Thanks Ace,
That'll come in very handy in 2000 years or so....

Ace's combination is for a FULL spaceship (40,000 inhabitants).

For 10,000 you'll need to assemble :
15 Structurals
6 Components (3 propel + 3 fuel)
3 Modules (1 habitat, 1 solar, 1 life)

I don't remember for 20,000 and 30,000....

Maybe this will help also.....

This is the amount of parts needed to launch 10,000 people (1 module of each type) and the corresponding flight times (this is using the 25% boost from fusion power).

This is from the Civ 2 War Academy

To sum up: the optimal spaceship depends on your manufacturing infrastructure - based on how many years it takes to add the extra parts vs how much faster the ship will travel.
