We can't send a rescue ship all the way out there, so Aurora, you're just gonna have to meet us halfway.

― Alterra HQ

The Neptune Escape Rocket is an in-development vehicle that will be used to leave Planet 4546B. The blueprint will eventually be found inside the Aurora. It will consist of five constructable parts; the Neptune Launch Platform, the Neptune Gantry, Neptune Stage 1, Neptune Stage 2, and Neptune Stage 3. The Neptune Launch Platform can be built inside the Mobile Vehicle Bay, while the other four parts are built on the launch platform.

Do not attempt to build the Neptune Launch Platform during its development stage, as this will consume your materials and not build it.

Description

Blueprints

Inside the Aurora, You will find the Captain's room. Using the code "2679" will unlock the door. Accessing the data entry will unlock the Neptune Launch Platform, Gantry, Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3 Blueprints.

Neptune Launch Platform

The Neptune Launch Platform is a very large floating barge with ladders on each side. In the middle is a circular indentation where the rocket will sit. On one side will be a terminal used to rename and color the rocket. This terminal is also used as a means of constructing the rest of the rocket, possessing similar fabrication drones to the Mobile Vehicle Bay.

Neptune Gantry

The Neptune Gantry is the second component of the Neptune Rocket. It consists of a small metal pillar with a bridge (which eventually leads into the Neptune Rocket) and an elevator which will lift the player to the top of the gantry to access the cockpit.

Neptune Stage 1

The first stage of the Neptune Rocket consists of a cylindrical shape with launching clamps connected to it. This composes of the engine, and serves no personal function other then to progress to the other stage.

Neptune Stage 2

The 2nd stage consists of the Entrance to the Neptune Rocket, Where 3 levers will be activated, and some small lockers for storage.

Neptune Stage 3

The 3rd and Final stage represents the main cockpit of the Neptune Rocket, It consists of the Time Capsule, Main CPU, Life support systems and the seat to escape Planet 4546B.

The rocket will not launch unless the Quarantine Enforcement Platform has been disabled.

Crafting

Please Note that these crafting recipes are due to change through development, and will most probably not require reactor rods and ion power cells when completed.

Data Bank Entry

This blueprint set was developed at Alterra headquarters specifically to get you off 4546B and back to the nearest phasegate. It takes into account local gravity, astronomical data and available resources, and is piloted by AI. It consists of five independently constructible elements: Launch Platform: Floating platform provides a solid base from which to launch the rocket Gantry: Provides structural support Stage 1: Primary thrusters for reaching atmosphere escape velocity Stage 2: Secondary thrusters activated in orbit Stage 3: Cockpit Warning: Onboard AI will not launch if local threats are detected.

Future Plans

• The Neptune Launch Platform will be crafted using an Ion Cube Matrix.
• The Neptune Escape Rocket will be released in version 1.0.
