In the vague past (I don't remember if this thread was recent or several years ago), there was a thread about the space shuttle station, and one of the replies stated that the had to be played on medium or hard mode, in addition to having the university, research center, and enough HT industry. At first, I thought, "this is incorrect, I have gotten it on easy mode." However, I recently played a city on "easy" mode and did not get offered the shuttle station, so I think I just started my city that I got the shuttle station on medium/hard mode and just misremembered that I started it on easy mode. Either that, or I got it using the "you dont deserve it" cheat code. Well, I just had some comments/thoughts about it. First, in SC4, the farthest it can be from an inhabited area is about 3km (diagonal length of a large city), in fact, I usually put it next to an air force base that I got from the ST exchange right here, and I usually have commercial zoning right next to it. I real life. such a base would be at least twice as far from any inhabited area. Second, I almost always get it in either medium or large cities. However, I checked my plugins, and one of them is an industry quadrupler, which I think means that industry (D,M, and HT) offers 4 times as many jobs as it would without it. Without it, I would not even come close to having enough HT jobs to be offered the shuttle station when playing a medium sized grid. I think this was the way the game was originally designed, it is just not possible to get enough HT jobs, even if conditions are "perfect" for HT industry. In a small city, I don't think it would even get close to having enough HT jobs even if you had a industry quadrupler, I guess you would need and industry 16-upler. Brian Christiansen

Episode 42 – SCE to AUX

Hello I'm wondering how to unlock the space shuttle program, I know you need 25,000 high tech jobs and build the advance research center, but how do I know how far am I from achieving 25,000 high tech job? and is the 25k requirement inside one city or it is for the whole region? because without industry 4x mod, a normal high tech building only employs around 40 to 50 people even for the late stage tier 3 high tech building, the employment number almost never exceed 100. Thanks!
