Expedition Background


The Expedition is a feature that was first introduced as part of the update on Thu February 9, 2017[1].

The goal is to build science factories, equipment and prototypes to send them on expeditions. It is possible to complete simultaneously research missions.

Tips
In total the player can accomplish 72 research missions.

Requirements for completion of all science buildings and prototypes:

Assets MBs Coins
Atmospheric Probe Equipment: 135 135 Megabucks sm 520,000 Coin sm
Deep-Submergence Vehicle Equipment: 653 656 Megabucks sm 2,110,000 Coin sm
Drilling Machine Equipment: 958 998 Megabucks sm 2,110,000 Coin sm
Research Vessel Equipment: 1,430 1,520 Megabucks sm 2,110,000 Coin sm
Total: 3,176 3,309 Megabucks sm 6,850,000 Coin sm

Profitability

The following table shows the profitability of each space vehicles launched.
This profit is calculated from the basic guaranteed launch reward for each vehicles, and the costs consists of the part constructions and assembly. This profit does not include any forms of mission rewards.
Short summary: Unlike space vehicles, the latest model of the particular type of the research vehicle line does not always returns the maximum profit. The RV-47 Research Vessel has the maximum return of 53% among all lines.
