Shao Xia Feng of China researched Reduced-size Launcher 0.5 Size / 5x Reload.
And that's it for those two years.
It tells the size of a missile that can be reloaded in 30 seconds. AMMs are size 1 and you want to be able to shoot them every 5 seconds for maximum saturation, so you need to high enough reload rate for that. Plus it helps with bigger missiles as well, of course.
No, when it says 2x or 5x reload it means that due to the smaller size, the reload times is multiplied by the number. For standard size launchers, the only thing that matters is size and reload rate. The actual reload time is figured after the base rate of fire, which depends on size, is divided by the reload rate.MaHuD said:
So for AMMs, which are always size 1, the reload time goes from 30 to 15 to 10 to 10 (7.5 actually but rounded up) to finally 5 seconds with reload rate 5. The base reload rate for size 6 missile, however, starts at 180 seconds and goes down to 90 to 60 to 45 to 35 seconds with reload rate 5:

Out of Neutronium! Use your god powers to fix that. We haven't even begun to get off the ground! Without more Neutronium we can't build armor on any ships. 
Did you start with base planet resources? I mean 7 nations on one planet is not really what the game is expected to start with and doesn't set up planning for that.

Experimenting with an alternative layout, hopefully easier to read and quicker to update too. Nations will no longer publicize individual components that they have researched, only the general technological/scientific advances.

Japan built second Kongo-class freighter 002. Mexico built the first Sonora-class geological survey ship, named Acheron. USA built a second survey ship, named George Ogden Abdell.
Other announcements
On 21.02.2025 Japanese Luna returns to Earth after four and half months of exploration. Its return reveals that the ship is capable of a velocity of at least 1569 km/s. The Japanese government announce that they have successfully surveyed all planets, moons and dwarf planets up to and including Uranus and its satellites. Next project is the survey of the inner asteroid belt and comets currently traveling through the inner system.
On 26.08.2025 Earth ran out of Corundium.

On 04.09.2026 Earth ran out of Tritanium.
On 10.09.2026 Earth ran out of Boronide.
Amateur astronomers gossip that the Mexican survey ship bypassed all inner system planets and headed straight to the asteroid field, meaning that either Mexico prioritizes asteroids over planets and moons or - far more likely - Mexico had already received geological survey information from either Japan or the USA.
That's it for now. Please give feedback whether you prefer the old system or the new system for reporting. If you want to rename your ships, let me know.
