From: Mushroomius Star Industries
We will offer our space craft for differing price, depending on your needs. All have the same basic design as the space shuttle utilized by NASA, simply because of their incredible versatility. Our engineers simply used the NASA design as the modification template for various shuttles for numerous tasks.

-All shuttles utilize best available software.
-Certain shuttles no longer require external tanks and solid rocket boosters. (Exceptions are the Resource Collection Shuttle and the Standard Orbiter Shuttle)
Standard Orbiter Shuttle
This is the REAL space shuttle. It is exactly what you see on the NASA channel, noooo different. There are no advances added, but we figure someone might want one (heritage, or something. I dunno). Costly and expensive. This shuttle utilizes the familiar rocket launch familiar to those who are space enthusiasts. However spectacular they may be, each launch is ten thousand dollars per pound, highly inefficient if you plan to frequently use it. Also, it's fuel is limited when it reaches orbit, it is incapable of boosting to higher altitudes, for the fuel it carries is all it will use.
Cargo Bay Dimensions:
60 ft long, 15 ft in diameter
Cost: $2,100,000,000.00
Advanced Orbiter Shuttle
Nearly identical to the first, however, much more versatility during missions. Unlike the standard shuttle, the Advanced can boost to higher altitudes using your choice of either ion or plasma propulsion. Its launch utilizes a linear-aerospike engine to reach orbit, where the plasma (or ion, whichever you choose) rockets kick in and allow for maximum navigation.
Cargo Bay Dimensions:
60 ft long, 15 ft in diameter
Cost: $1,900,000,000.00
Orbital Construction Vehicle
This orbiter can construct space stations, and repair multiple satellites on a single mission. It's cargo bay was replaced with a "pack" of tools, primarily robotic arms with different fixtures at the tips for different jobs. This has prime space construction abilities, but stagnates where scientific endeavors are concerned. It is fitted with a plasma rocket for orbital propulsion, and a linear-aerospike engine to free itself from Earth's restricting gravity.
Cost: $1,000,000,000.00
Lunar Transport Shuttle
The shuttle in question here has only one motto: "Destination: Moon." And that is its total function, Lunar transport and research. It too, uses the Mushroomius favorite of the plasma engine. Like the OCV (see above), it lacks a cargo bay in favor of a different vehicle. On board it is a multi-grav transport vehicle, or a vehicle capable of roving in gravitational fields of varying strength. This shuttle also features a ramp for disgorging the vehicle, and also features landing skids instead of landing wheels.
Cost: $2,000,000,000.00
Deep-Space Transit Shuttle
This shuttle lacks a cargo bay entirely. 25% of the cargo bay now serves as entertainment and microgravity agriculture to keep the crew alive. The remaining 75% of former cargo bay space has been replaced with a nuclear reactor which spoon feeds three powerful, nuclear rockets. These puppies can get a fellow... actually seven fellows to Mars and back in a month. However, due to the space taken up by the reactor, the fuel, and the extra living environment, it cannot launch from Earth gravity on its own. A cheaper way of getting a crew on it would be to leave it in orbit and use Soyuz capsules (or your countries' equivalent). So, if you're the type who likes to romp around Neptune, this is the shuttle for you.
Cost: $1,200,000,000.00
Combat Shuttle
This shuttle is like most of the upper entries, using a linear-aerospike engine and a plasma rocket for space travel. This puppy houses one of three weapons, you make the decision. These make formidable weapons to anyone but the most advanced.
1.)Pulsed Laser Cannon:
The weapon of any country who favors directed energy weapons. Better suited to cutting and hitting fuel tanks. It has an unlimited range in space, and nearly never misses because of its travelling speed of 186,000 miles per second. Its nuclear reactor can run continuously for five years without needing new nuclear fuel, and generates a humble megawatt. It can fire a continuous beam for up to three years (until the nuclear fuel is spent), almost ensuring that "ammo" will not run out.
EM Rail Gun:
This weapon is based on one thing, and one thing only: Brute force. Whether you're in a fragile Soyuz capsule or a titanium bathtub, this weapon almost ensures instant death. Unlike the laser, this weapon deals a projectile, rather than a energy beam, to kill. This means ammunition that runs out far faster than three years. However, because the shell uses sheer velocity rather than explosives to annihilate its target, ammunition capacity is extended. This weapon requires a nuclear reactor to function.
Orbital Standoff Gun:
This is simply a funny name for a common shotgun. The weapon functions in exactly the same way, except the "bb's" spread by it are big enough and numerous enough to simulate a very, very bad meteor shower. This weapon can decomission ten shuttles at once, and does not require a nuclear reactor to fire. The downsides to this weapon are simply that, a.) its projectiles lack the speed that would ensure hits, and b.) It requires ammo, and the type of ammo in question ensures that the rail gun would have the more shots.
Standard Missiles:
What a wrong word for such accurate weapons. Standard missiles, don't often miss. They were developed by the ICSM Air Force specifically for space travel. They use standard plasma rockets for travelling. Three variants of the missile possess different guidance systems: Radar, infrared(heat-seeking), and exhaust guided missiles. These can be mounted on standard hardpoints, and, if needbe, can be modified to fit certain wing-hardpoints.
The shuttle, as can be seen, can be a deadly force to contend with. These are NOT cheap craft, but they are very, very, formidable. Consider it.
Cost: $2,000,000,000.00
Resource Collection Shuttle
This shuttle is equipped with an electro-static collection beam. Molecules are positively charged, and then drawn towards the negatively charged collector grid, where they are then funneled into the resource pod. The resource pod is located where the former cargo bay was. It is unwise to attempt re-entry with this shuttle, because, with a full resource pod it will fly about as good as a brick with a fly taped to it. In simpler terms, DON'T TRY IT.

Cost: $1,500,000,000.00
NOTE:We will not sell to nations with a population under 250 million.
