Costs of Damages

[DanM]

So I was thinking today about how much money all the damages I've caused in orbiter would cost. Sine I started orbiter at age 10, this shall be interesting. I'm pretty sure I've passed the world GDP by now. I've destroyed well over 100 shuttles. My favorite method to destroy those has been to jettison the SRBs just after liftoff, and setting the camera to them, then watching them go over 1000 km. It's even more fun on the shuttle fleet, because when I crash the sound says "Wheel stop, welcome back." XD

I've also wiped out my fair shares of DGIVs and UMMUs. Today, I think I had a little too much fun with the stock DG. I was ~20,000 km above mars, and decided to approach it directly at ~400 km/sec. As I saw it approach in the window, in real time, the next thing I knew I was reentering, then bounced off the surface into solar orbit.

I've also destroyed quite a few early NASA rockets, just to play with abort buttons

How much money would you have wasted?

It reminds me when I was 10 also and that I was playing the early SimCity. My mother was proud that I was playing a useful video games for one time... until I got bored and started putting fire on the city and putting monsters and tornados :lol:

I've done so many aborts from NASSP Apollo add-ons to test everything out and get a hang of the very complex control systems I dread to think how much space junk I've left in LEO :facepalm:

I guess I wasn't too expensive. two burnt up XR5, and some 6 to 10 vessels of various kind sank into the ocean. I'm a terrible pilot in earths atmosphere, I never managed to hit the runway...

I Never lost any ships on moon or mars, though. Never destroyed any on purpose either.

 

[UFO64]

It would be an interesting addition to the game. Give the user a crash report generated from the components lost during different system failures, up to the total cost of the ship? Could even calculate the other factors of a ships loss (replacement time, environmental cleanup costs, etc etc).

But then again, I am a complete nerd for stats in any game ^^

I cant count the number of DG's and DGIV's I burned to nothing while learning the finer bits of reentry. I am sure the good digital people of Florida have round the clock clean up crews running from the havoc I caused. Never destroyed a shuttle, but I have left a few dozen in orbit.

 

[Zamzara]

Burnout 2 module! Interesting idea....

 

[HAL9001]

I don't know, I think around 20000000000000 Dollars or so.

 

[Stevodoran]

i dont know with the amount of apollos i destroyed wow:lol:

 

[N_Molson]

I must confess a lot of "too long" reentries that left me no other choices than to ditch in the Atlantic Ocean, 200km or more east of Cape Canaveral. Besides, I've worked a lot my belly landings with the DGIV :lol:

Had heavy losses when I learned how to fly the Soyuz. Lots of capsules stranded in orbit with no fuel left. The good thing is that I wasn't using UMMUFA at this time, so they could always be renamed "Cosmos XYZ"

Else I'm rather responsible with virtual stuff I guess

Edit : oh and there was that rather recent epic one, too : Virtual STS-131 stranded into orbit

 

[jinglesassy]

Lets check my list
764 Ummus dead
291 From burning up on reentry
138 From hitting the ground
304 From sending them on reentry without any heat shield in earths atmosphere
31 From "other" reasons

34 DG-IV's destroyed
29 From failed reentry(Man i suck at reentry)
5 Parachuting "tests"

15 XR1 destroyed
14 on reentry
1 Burning engines for along time and ramming into the moon at 15 km/s

13 XR2 destroyed
5 From reentry
7 From aerobatics
1 Docking on the ground with an XR5(dont ask how long it took to get it....)

39 XR5
30 Reentry
5 Aerobatics
1 Docking on the ground
4 Id rather not say

Over 400 shuttles toasty in the atmosphere or similar incidents

208 AMSO Saturn V lost from manual control
309 LEM made into a crater on the lunar surface
54 Command modules lost in reentry
97 Service modules from failures

And many more ships that i haven't tracked.

Are those real figures or did you make them up? :rofl:

 

[Lucy]

A bit of both. I did a smidgen of research into the value of the real vessels.

 

[donatelo200]

You guys really keep track of your disasters on a txt file or something like that ? Interesting idea to make stats

 

[Izack]

Total damages: ~11$CAN

Ok, i allways used abort buttons on all my rockets and allways ejected with DGIV and all that fun stuff and some other crashes so let me calculate...









1,569.8 Trillion in expenses.

Especially after i crashed the whale pod into earth... :facepalm:
