Well, I feel that I have improved slightly since the last report - I didn't run out of RP this time, and my other monies are still doing alright despite spending much, much more WU/IUU than last year. I am looking at my research budget report, and from what i've spent, 79% of it was for rockets. This may be partially caused by one of my rockets careening through the atmosphere and smashing it back down to 50% safety, but I think that in a few years, once research starts turning over to capsules, satellites, etc. we will see a decrease in that.
The research team limit also seems to be working. I've seen myself prioritizing things quite a bit more now(Dammit, I even made a flowchart...) so as to get the best results from this year of research.
Anyway, enough about research, let's talk about the missions. I am fairly sad to see that only 3 nations have managed to fling something into space so far, Russia cut it pretty close there too. As for myself, I feel pretty good at where I am right now. Canada got the first swing, but I'm starting to catch up to them. This far into the game, I think the pacing is right - this will most likely the year everyone else starts flinging rockets into the air, and real competition starts to happen.
To summarize: Good year, balancing and pacing seems to be doing fine, no real complaints. Also, the PRC mandates construction of newspaper factories in all the countries participating in the Space Race.
Outstanding report bud! Your details are exactly what I needed!
And yeah, your spike in Rocket RP usage was caused by your catastrophic failure. Those things are a serious setback, but can be overcome.
As for newspaper factories, I agree! More are needed.
