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 Rocket Launch Platform is part of an in-development vehicle, it will be used to leave Planet 4546B. The blueprint will eventually be found inside the Aurora. The Rocket Launch Platform can be built inside the Mobile Vehicle Bay, however, it is not advisable to build it during its development stage, as this will consume your materials and not build it.

Description

The Rocket 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 fabricate the rocket itself, as well as rename and color the rocket. On the opposite side is the rocket gantry (when it is constructed), which has an elevator that will lift the player into the rocket.

The Rocket is created through 4 stages (Gantry, Stage 1 (Boosters), Stage 2 (Engine), Stage 3 (Cockpit).

The Rocket cannot launch unless the Quarantine Enforcement Platform has been disabled.

Data Bank Entry

Neptune Escape Rocket

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