Costs of Damages

[T.Neo]

Hmm... I haven't kept track of the innumerable spacecraft I've crashed/destroyed/written off. But I do have a list of the more destructive things I've done:

- Dropped a nuclear warhead on Wisconsin.

- Changing Earth's axial tilt to 90 degrees, creating extreme seasons killing off all advanced life.

- Tidally locking the Earth to the Sun, freezing the western hemisphere.

- Changing Earth's rotation to a 1 second long rotational period. In reality, the mere force of accelerating Earth to this rotational velocity would rip it apart.

- Placing Earth within Jupiter's roche radius.

- Placing Earth in a 3-day orbit around the sun. Needless to say, the old Blue Marble would have turned into a lava ball.

- Placing all planets in the solar system at a 1 AU orbit. In reality this arrangement would be extremely unstable and lead to either massive collisions, or planets being thrown into the sun or out of the system.

Most of these were achieved by editing CFGs.

So, I've killed the global population 5-6 times over, destroyed the biosphere about that amount of times, destroyed the entire solar system on one occasion, and I flew an XR2 into KSC at .92 lightspeed, with an impact yielding more than a gigaton of explosive force and destroying a good portion of the state of Florida...

And I nuked Wisconsin.

DGIV: $70,000 each (have destroyed 66)

WOW $70,000 FOR A DGIV?!?! I'LL TAKE 10!

 

[DanM]

Lol, I think I just destroyed a craft in the most epic way possible. I was flying an Arrow Freighter back from the moon with a DGIV in the cargo hold. I transferred the crew to the DGIV, then awaited reentry after undocking. I followed the checklists, but around 70 KM I burned up. Aerobrake MFD said the G load was about 300. It's okay to kill UMMUs/DGIV crew members if one is named after yourself, right? Then it is an accident

 

[Polaris]

Here's some more damages:

RTF SGU Shuttle: $80,000 (Total destroyed: 6)

RTF Puddle Jumper: $500,000 (Total Destroyed: 12)

Resolve: $1.2 million (Only one destroyed, and I took Wideawake International with it.)

Brighton Beach Moonbase: $60,000,000

RTF Raptor: $300,000 (Total destroyed: 20)

UMMU: $1,000 for spacesuit (Total destroyed: Too many to count)

 

[Izack]

WOW $70,000 FOR A DGIV?!?! I'LL TAKE 10!

And $200 000 for an Arrow! Get 'em while they're hot!!

Jedidia: Nothing so exciting. I dropped it off my desk while doing a low pass of Brighton Beach with Discovery One.

 

[Polaris]

In case you were wondering, I only got the DGIVs and the Arrows at those prices from a salvage yard on Ceres. Just for the record, here's a record of what else I've destroyed:


Lunar Mass Driver 6- $700,000,000 plus facilities

RTF R&D Research Center on Pluto- $1,000,000,000

Research station on Pluto: $100,000,000

Iron mine on Ganymede: $1,000,000,000

ReFuel Processing Station on Titan: $10,000,000

Jupiter 1 Space Station: $800,000,000

If you intend to build a base, make sure your insurance is extensive.

By the way, T.Neo, how did you destroy the solar system?

 

[Izack]

If you intend to build a base, make sure your insurance is extensive.

And that no craft registered to one 'Polaris' enter the airspace. :lol:

 

[Polaris]

Here some casulties:

ARROW 1: 40 dead, no survivors (Crashed)

ARROW 2: 35 dead, 5 survivors (life support failure)

ARROW 3: All hands down with ship (engine explosion)


RTF R&D Station, Pluto: 200 dead, no surviors (Ship crashed into station)


RIP. I never intended for them to die.

 

[Slice N Splice]

Failed to put a satellite into correct orbit, earth gravity brough it down.

Millions of pounds of hydrazine gas sprayed some of the atlantic ocean and over the U.K.

12,560.3 billion dollars worth of damages and deaths.

The atlantic hydrazine killed off most of the fishes out there and ALMOST extinct the U.K.

 

[Solar424]

12,560.3 billion dollars worth of damages and deaths.

That's about the entire GDP of the United States.:lol:

 

[T.Neo]

By the way, T.Neo, how did you destroy the solar system?

I put all planets in the system at an orbit of 1 AU, but at different longitudes.

It didn't do anything in Orbiter (other than put all the planets at 1 AU), but in reality it would be horrendously unstable and result in collisions and ejections into the Sun or out of the system entirely.

 

[Polaris]

If anyone is interested, here are some more damages:

Poderosa: $10,000,000

Laser Tanks: $50,000 each

That is all.
