Space 4X Game?

Player designs rockets
Budget
Rockets have
    *Thrust (mg, g, kg)
    *Fuel
    *dV
    *Mass (metric)
    *Crew
    *Payload
    *HP?
    *Power?

Player gives orders which are then carried out automatically
Game is realtime/turn-based (like Aurora, but designed so that realtime is an actual way to play)

1. Design a rocket/ship
2. Pay monetary cost
3. Begin construction (time based on complexity, priority(more money), mass, resources?)
    Physical resources are spent over time to represent the phyisical construction
4. Launch to low or chosen orbit
5. Assign further orders?

Player can setup automatic orders to be performed
Ships can dock/transfer resources if close enough (maybe taking a certain amount of time based on amount of mass to be transferred, affected by special parts)

Things the Player should be able to do:
1. Build up a space infrastructure
2. Refuel ships from fuel depots
3. Mine raw resources
4. Avoid micro
5. Setup automatic production, launch, and mission orders to be performed under player set conditions


Types of Space Infrastructure:
*Fuel Depots
*Habitats
*Construction Yards
--------------------------------------------
v0.1
Ground Installations:
*Housing
*Mines
*Power Plants (Solar, Fission, Fusion, RTG, Wind)
*Factories
*Warehouses, Silos, Tanks
*Slipways
*Mass Drivers
*Space Elevator (if gravity is low enough)
*GTS Laser (for laser sail propulsion)

Leaning more towards X-COM style bases over Aurora style colonies.
Most of the v0.1 stuff applies, but bases can be of different types
O'Neil Cylinders, Asteroid bases, etc.
Maybe station design like High Frontier? It's a lot more intensive dev wise than Aurora or X-COM style
----------------------------------------------
Propulsion:
*NTR
*NPP (Orion)
*Chemical
*Ion
*Fusion
*Solid Rocket Motors
*Laser Sails
*Anti-matter?
---------------------------------------------
v0.2
Base Building and Management:
Similar to the original X-Com
Engineers, Scientists, ?
Maybe "Hero" named scientists to manage research departments/assignments
Research system similar to Aurora4X and Component design of Children of a Dead Earth
1. Research fundamental technologies; Nuclear Pulsed Propulsion, Lasers, etc. Theoretical Tech similar to Sword of the Stars/Master of Orion 1
science experiments on or in special environments to unlock research paths or test parts (KSP but more realistic and better executed)
2. Design a component (Aurora4X/CoaDE) using researched/unlocked technology
3. Research component application
4. Design ship with parts
5. Tool Slipway/Spaceyard for production (slipways for medium to small surface construction, orbital drydocks for bigger, non-landing capable ships. Higher tech 3D printing/
additive manufacture for mass production of ship design: fastest, most efficient production of a ship design, but takes the biggest investment to get started and can't be
retooled)
6. Crew ship and launch (CoaDE crew system is good enough, but with specific named captains, maybe bigger ships needing captain, chief engi, sci officer, bridge crew etc.
