Current VSA activity

If not, the ISA gets it.

ISA doesn't work that way. AT ALL.

UPDATE:

Artemis has just completed an ummanned launch. It was successful.

You should put this on your website and add some more details.

What was it?
What was the payload?
The desination?
Photos of the launch?

no point in saying a launch happend, people like details :lol:

I have the details, but no pictures. Check "Recent announcements" on the site.

The three big problems with VSAs are:

1. Time management
2. No multi-player
3. Proprietary addons(OFMM)

1) could be solved by using some type of creative atomization software but that is the same problem as 3). People don't have time for 'ad hoc' development. 2) will eventually be solved by software innovation and faster internet.

:rofl:I choked when I read that!

On a different note: Don't feel like the scary old-timers are out to get you, Polaris! I think if you get serious you could make your VSA work. Though you will have to put in a lot of work documenting what you are doing. Things like pictures of satellites being put into orbit, company debriefings after a launch, rundowns of what is going to happen next week, and maybe some info on who runs your company(they should have last names at least!). Building a virtual space agency isn't just opening the doors and waiting for things to happen. You have to write the story of what it is Artemis Space is. I like writing and I find making something believable about what I do for fun in Orbiter to be problem. You have to really think about if this is doable for you. Knowing the limits is important to gauging what you can do.

By the way, working with the Israeli military would be the kiss of death to a real life VSA. It isn't too late to change that.

Once I find a way to take pics of the launch, I'll present them. Anyways, the Israeli contract has been terminated. Artemis is now offering its services to Argentina, and AIA has offered facilities at Wideawake Intl.

UPDATE:

ARTEMIS HQ IS NOW IN NEW YORK.

Why were the contracts with Israel terminated? And how did you pick up with Argentina?

If it was real life then would it be a VSA? :shifty:

If you want people to take interest in your VSA, you might want to make a thread for it. Or better yet, put a forum on your website and have announcements there.

I did mean to fix that before anyone saw it, though real-life stole me away from the computer before I had the chance.
