Rockets and Engines

[kisukin]

Probably the hardest thing to balance; for now, we have a propulsion for ejection of gases ( steam and CO2 ) and combustion ( sucrose,petrol). Probably we have some similar old rockets ( liquid H2,o2 ). Lets go to the point:

-Ejection engines: load the rocket with some gas and send to space. Maybe the most basic and simple way to start.

• Maybe use other gases ( not famable ) to load:

1. but people could use phosphorus ( still valid, take some time to drekos eat some balms and the process take time )
2. but people could use solids to make gases ( if he can deal with the variables, why not ? )  
3. But people could launch and land rockets to generate a cloud of gases. well, if rockets release some fuel when launch or lands ( lets say 25%) , probably isn´t a very advantageous process.

-Combustion engines : use some sort of fuel and oxydizer to launch the rocket ( cost/efficient )

• Maybe we could use some famable gases here ( Natural gás, ethanol , propane, hydrogen )

1. but hydrogen is easy to obtain: well , CO2 too, but define the proportion and the engine power numbers probably is the hard point ( depends how good you want those tecnology becomes).
2. Natural Gás ? my duplicants could fart and launch a rocket ? well ... if you can power up a generator , maybe with a little more gas ..... ; or a process  to obtain a better product .

• Solid fuels:Sucrose. that´s good for now.
• Liquid fuels: Petroleum, Liquid Hydrogen ( maybe ?)

-Fusion engines: Uses Enriched Uranium and a coolant ( super coolant ) to avoid any disaster ( late game ); requires a very resistant material and generates a lot of waste.
