Small Carrier Rocket

"The delivery vehicle for Dyson Sphere Components. More rockets should be launched if a Dyson Sphere needs to be built faster."

Usage[]

These Rockets can be launched by being loaded into the Vertical Launching Silo. In order to be launched, a Dyson Sphere plan must first be drawn in the editor. If no plan is drawn, or if the plan is drawn but not completed, no launches will occur.

Despite the name of "Carrier Rocket", you do not explicitly load anything into these rockets before launch. Instead, they are single-use vehicles that are constructed with their payload of Dyson Sphere Components and Quantum Chips built-in. Once launched, they become a permanent part of the Dyson Sphere by becoming its nodes and frames, much like Solar Sails become its shells.

Once all the nodes and frames of a given shell are completed it may then be filled with Solar Sails that are launched using the EM-Rail Ejector. The exact ratio of Small Carrier Rockets to Solar Sails varies based on the radius of the orbit.
