Requirements for building a Coriolis starport
- Thread starter Jaffz
- Start date
4 days
3 CMDR's, 2 of them alt's
2 FC's
1 Coriolis

1 Coriolis
Not sure if this has been said before in the thread, but according to my calculations its actually just under 54,000 for a Coriolis, the Outpost that I just finished was just under 22,000 so the Coriolis should be doable in 4 weeks.
Let's crunch some numbers for the basic Coriolis station:
total tonnage needed 69 012
ship to use - T9 or Cutter, cargo capacity 750
fully loaded deliveries needed: 92
30 days in a month, it takes three fully loaded deliveries every day, with two days in a month you deliver four.
Oh to have the time to play every day!
There seems to be a difference between the tonnage for the initial port and for the same port if built after the primary port, so a coriolis will be ~70k as a primary port but ~55k if you build it after building an outpost.
I guess this is what is refered to in the livestream, when Piers Jackson says:
The ~55k was for a new system.
Interesting! Were you getting the data from the colonisation ship numbers? Some people have reported a difference between the colonisation contact numbers you see when choosing a port and the colonisation ship numbers when you arrive to actually build it. See issue: https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/72180
I have an outpost built and if I want to build an Orbis in my system:
6436 water
2576 copper
32820 titanium
40220 aluminium
15124 liquid oxygen
1288 ins membrane
56304 steel
plus other bits and bobs that total 11,256
Total 166,024
223 full cutters and all the tritium I'll need to move the carrier about. Utterly ridiculous for one player
[edit] No wait I forgot the 45,000 CMM composite I'll need, add that on too - 211,024 that's:
266 cutters
6436 water
2576 copper
32820 titanium
40220 aluminium

From the dialogue before configuring the primary port, so not the colonization ship itself.
I wonder if it makes a difference if you already have an Outpost built in another system? maybe it gets confused
This is what the Colonization Ship asked me to deliver for the starting Coriolis station, the simplest possible. Don't know how it was when choosing port, these are the actual numbers the builders need.
NON-LETHAL WEAPONS 25
POWER GENERATORS 67
MEDICAL DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT 25
WATER PURIFIERS 104
COMPUTER COMPONENTS 202
SEMICONDUCTORS 212
SUPERCONDUCTORS 331
FOOD CARTRIGES 232
FRUIT AND VEGS 139
INSULATING MEMBRANE 851
COPPER 774
CERAMIC COMPOSITES 1284
WATER 2182
POLYMERS 1197
LIQUID OXYGEN 4940
TITANIUM 12223
ALUMINIUM 12480
STEEL 18606
CMM COMPOSITE 14138
I made a slight error a couple of posts before, the total is not 69012 but 70012, but it all comes down the same - three full deliveries every day in a month, and one day go wild and deliver 5-6.
You sure that's not for an Orbis Apollo? Looks just like what is showing for a new system build in the system I'm currently in.
There are plenty of other things you can build which are way way cheaper. Why build a planetary port?
The guy above here, and it might be interesting:
This is trash system, one scoopable Sun and four small landable ice planets with no rings. I asked for the simplest possible Coriolis in position 0, the starting one (each planet has it's own afterwards). The numbers I gave here are the actual ones the builders ask for.
Maybe it's more if the system is a lush one, with many lucrative possibilities afterwards.
