My GOD so many rocks on the way.

Space Boat v1 had 4 guns, and died immediately.

Space Boat v2 had 10 guns, and manged to barely get there by manually pausing thrust several times, then getting smashed in orbit by Fulgora's drifting medium asteroids because it ran out of ammo.

Space Boat v3 has 28 guns protected by walls and a stockpile of ammo. It can get there and back again. Time will tell if it has production capabilities to survive parking in Fulgora orbit.

I went to Gleba on a 10 turret platform with a two layer wall in front. Barely survived the trip, only to get smashed to pieces in orbit. I made it to the planet and I'm stranded there now.

The kicker... My coal train on Nauvis got deadlocked immediately after, so my entire base is without power. I had a tank set up to be able to fix things, but without radar coverage that's useless... Curious to see what state it's in when I get back!

Remember you can remote drive trains and tanks :)

I can remote drive tanks? This is interesting.
