Wiki missing info on "Experimental Rocket" Event.

[Alchemist79]

It's not in the wiki with the rest of the events. Anyone have any info on this ? Chances for rocket failures ? Can it affect the rocket i started with or only the experimental one i'm getting ? (So i could just accept, scrap and be better of than denying it, or i could send it on unmanned missions)
Anyone know anything ?

The wiki definitely needs update for many of the story bits, as I don't see some too when I come across them when playing.

For the Experimental Rocket event, when I undertook the task, one result I've got was that some 10+ Sols later, a rocket supply from another colony I've requested exploded, thus destroying that rocket and its supplies. I don't know if similar events could happen if you load cargo or passenger rockets yourself, and this may simply boil down to probability.

Whoever edited the wiki probably used the code on github to find them all out, but there's no DLC code on git.

In my experience, it will always explode. I rename it "Experimental Rocket" and use it solely to export to Earth. I think there is a variation if you have the Rocket Engineer commander and there is the worst option if peeps are flying on it (from memory). I always rename my Rockets to Starship #X (I play SpaceY) for this very reason.

Thanks, i was mostly scared for my other rockets after the game managed to screw with all my drones for accepting a few weird ones.
So it seems my other rockets are ok
