Suggestion Water reclaimer/recycling:While I like the current level of ice spawning (I like it being more on the rare side) star ships are for the most part sealed environments. So unless the crew are venting their waste, which I assume they are, the water shouldn't just be disappearing. It would be nice if we had a utility item that was for water recycling.
Voth are a humanoid reptiloid species that presumably descended from the Hadrosaurid Parasaurolophus, extinct on Earth since the Late Cretaceous era, roughly 75 to 65 million years ago. The Voth have retained the crest extending from the back of their head. Smaller Voth have shorter cranial crests than their bulkier counterparts.
Balance it so that it produces the same amount of water a single crew member consumes or slightly less (with different sized units for bigger crews). The goal being that I should be able to slow the rate of my water loss if desired. (apologies if this was already floated as an idea.).

Two 'pro' mining tips:.Use a weapon to blast the rocks into larger chunks, so when ice does drop it is in a large state.Mining extension helps so much. Also your plant beds drain more water now it seems, so of course turn them off if you have a decent food surplus.Another tip is that if another ship is present trying to buy/sell water, you won't find any in the field you're in, until they leave or you start shooting at them. I don't know if the ship thing is real or not but it seems to work with every mineral.
/caption British scientists invent “mini-magnetosphere” to protect astronauts during solar storms.Space travel during a solar storm just became a little less risky. UK scientists working at Rutherford Appleton Laboratory near Oxford and the universities of York and Strathclyde have tested a “mini-magnetosphere” enveloping a model spacecraft in the lab. It turns out that their prototype offers almost total protection against high energy solar particles. By mimicking the natural protective environment of the Earth, the researchers have scaled the protective magnetic bubble down into an energy efficient, yet powerful deflector shield.This astounding achievement is a big step toward protecting sensitive electronics and the delicate human body against the radioactive effects of manned missions between the planets.
It may sound like science fiction, but future astronauts may well shout the order to “ RAISE SHIELDS!” if the Sun flares up during a 36 million mile journey to MarsA mission to Mars will benefit from a mini-magnetosphere (NASA)On writing “ ” way back in January, I was a little dubious as to whether the preliminary results could be replicated on a full-scale spaceship. At the time, Dr Ruth Bamford (the lead researcher from Rutherford Appleton) had created a mini version of a magnetic shield that acted as a “bubble” in a stream of ions. As ions were charged, they could be deflected by a magnetic field, so the field acts as a barrier to deflect the paths of these ions around the void encapsulated by the magnetic field. All that had to be done was to scale the idea up a notch or two and then place a spaceship in the middle of the protected void. The biggest drawback I could see back in January was the large amount of energy that would be required to power the system.
After all, to generate a stable, spaceship-sized mini-magnetosphere would need a vast quantity of electricity (and be very bulky), or it would need to be highly efficient (and compact). As this is space travel we’re talking about, the scientists would need to look into the latter.
The mini-magnetosphere would need to be a highly efficient device.The USS Enterprise has many uses for its deflector shields, including repelling the Borg (Paramount Pictures)Eleven months later and it looks like the British team have found their answer. In results just published in the journal Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion, they have devised a system no bigger than a large desk that uses the same energy as an electric kettle. Two mini-magnetospheres will be contained within two mini satellites located outside the spaceship. Should there be an increase in solar wind flux, or an approaching cloud of energetic particles from a flare and/or coronal mass ejection (CME), the magnetospheres can be switched on and the solar ions are deflected away from the spacecraft.“ These initial experiments have shown promise and that it may be possible to shield astronauts from deadly space weather,” Dr Bamford said. After all, the. Bob Bingham, a theoretical physicist at the University of Strathclyde, gives a graphic account as to why this technology is important:“ Solar storms or winds are one of the greatest dangers of deep space travel.
If you got hit by one not only would it take out the electronics of a ship but the astronauts would soon take on the appearance of an overcooked pizza. It would be a bit like being near the Hiroshima blast.
Your skin would blister, hair and teeth fall out and before long your internal organs would fail. It is not a very nice way to go. This system creates a Magnetic Field Bubble that would deflect the dangerous radiation away from the spacecraft.” – Prof. Bob BinghamBingham added that the team was currently patenting the technology and hopes to have a working full size prototype within five years.
So we might have to wait some time until we see some pictures of the system in actionSource. @Kurt:- While this isn’t the silver bullet that will protect astronauts 100%, it does cancel out the significant risk of high-energy (charged) particles. As the majority of solar wind particles are high energy protons, this is a good answer. As for X-ray and gamma radiation, there will still need to be a “safe zone” inside the spacecraft with a protective hull – although damaging EM radiation will hit you without warning. I think we have a while to go before we start manufacturing the first USS EnterpriseCheers 🙂Ian.
What funds do Dr Bamford and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory have? Having a working full size prototype within five years is too late. I guess that NASA’s Orion crew exploration vehicle would need partial redesign to integrate the shield device. And in five years it would presumably be too late for changes. The speed of realisation depends on money.
Public money is devoured by the fight against the impact of the financial crisis. And due to the disastrous financial situation of research in Britain I wonder that they made it so far at all.Presumably, we will have to wait for many years before we will see real progress.
The war chests of science are empty. And then there is always a lobby who claims the money for something else. Here in Britain ‘big science’ has always been a long way behind other countries and science like this is right at the back of the queue. It’s usually down to the ingenuity of the scientists concerned that gets it done.
Even though Beagle 2 ultimately failed, because the project was done on a shoestring, the team strove like heroes to get it to Mars. The problem in Britain lies with the fact that government departments are usually run by ministers who have either no interest in the portfolio or they have no qualifications or experience in the ministry. We’ve had people with degrees in classics/English running the science department; historians running the economy; economists running education etc. No wonder we’re now a third world country.
