The Space Program Red Shuttle - A Suggestion For A Future Game Update
I'm assuming there are plans afoot to develop and greatly enhance the space program, at some point in a future game update. Perhaps with a new space vehicle and launch pad (piano black with chrome trim would be nice), mission to Mars?
I would like to make the following suggestion with regards to the red shuttle. As things currently stand, when a red shuttle returns and lands, it stops halfway along the second runway. When clicked on, it pays out the rewards and then disappears from the screen.
It would be good to see the red shuttle taken in tow, by a recovery vehicle, and transported to a designated area, where it could dock with a Shuttle Terminal Building with an extenable arm (similar to the terminal and boading bridge.) The rewards could then be collected from the Shuttle Terminal Building, once the red shuttle is docked.
This would be more in keeping with the current game, and the way rewards are collected. The way planes are now handled is far more appropriate, compared to the way they were handled in the past, when planes landed on the runway and were clicked on, before the planes paid out the rewards and then disappeared from the runway. All planes now park at terminals before you click and collect, there should be something similar with the red launch, far more game play consistency.
To achieve this there would need to be a designated area, leading from the second runway, for the recovery of the red shuttle, which would lead to the building where the red shuttle would be housed. It could be located close to where the Operative Hangar, Repair Base, Reserve Hangar are located. There is plenty of land available around these three buildings, as you will see from the attachment below. This designated area could also be used for the new space vehicle and launch pad, and also the green and blue launch pads, and their vehicles could be relocated. It would make sense to keep them together, since they are all part of the space program.
It would also be good to see all the space program related fuel resource items e.g. Liquid Fuel, Small Fuel Tank, Additional Stabilizer, Explosive Bolt, Solid Fuel, Large Fuel Tank, Main Stabilizer and Powerful Explosive Bolt, removed from the warehouse and become part of the Shuttle Terminal Building menu, which would open and display the resources, when the building is selected. These eight resource items are unique to the space program, and are not used anywhere else in the game.
I'm also not too keen on the way green and blue space flights end, with deployed parachute capsules on the ground. This could also be looked at, although I have as yet no firm ideas, on how best to proceed with this.
