POPULATION
This figure represents the number of pioneers the spaceship is outfitted to carry. The more
citizens it carries to the new planet, the higher your bonus.
SUPPORT
This figure shows what percentage of accommodations on the ship is currently serviced by
life support: air, nutrient, and waste systems. Pioneers not provided with life support
cannot survive the voyage.
ENERGY
This figure indicates what percentage of the energy required by habitation and life support
modules is currently being provided. If sufficient energy is not available to power life
support and habitation, the probability of success will be very low.
MASS
All of the components, modules, and structures add to the mass of your spaceship. The
greater the mass, the more power is required from propulsion parts to move it.
FUEL
This figure indicates what percentage of the fuel your propulsion units require is currently
aboard. If insufficient fuel is provided, the propulsion components aboard cannot work to
their maximum power and the ship cannot attain its best possible speed.
FLIGHT TIME
This calculation indicates the number of years required for your spaceship to reach the
nearest star, based on the ship’s current mass and engine power. Adding more engines and
fuel reduces flight time.
PROBABILITY OF SUCCESS
This figure incorporates all the other data (including the amount of food and energy
available and the estimated flight time) in an estimate of the approximate percentage of
colonists who are expected to survive the voyage. The faster the flight, the higher the
expected survival rate.
