notalas shipyards
the just finished notalas yards orbiting notalas, the moon of pontius, our colony planet, will begin manufacturing ships immediatly, focusing more on the larger capitol ships like battleships, star destroyers super star destroyers, etc., while the pontius yards will be converted to manufacturing the smaller frigates and corvettes of the fleet, the notalas yards are approximatly 20 km in diameter, with ten berths for ship contstuction, two of which being special S.S.D. berths, it is staffed by 110,000 of our best ship builders (100,000) station techs(5000) and soldiers (5000), as well as two squadrons of SF/B-37 Dominator space fighters, a squadron of Virgo III mobile suits and one manticore frigate, as well as it's own defenses, 50 batteries of heavy turbolaser cannons
OOC: i don't have enough ships compared to most other countries, so i build another shipyard
Congrats! How long did it take you to build it?
OOC:i've been building it in secret since my triumphant return to nationstates,
(around the first of september)
IC: it has taken five years to construct
Two notes... first off, most obviously, The word is Nautilus.
Second... as a hardcore SW fan... any fan would know the SSD itself is 16km long... a stupidly big ship.... how do you hold 2 8km long ships in a shipyard 20km long and still have toom for other ships?
Capsule Corporation openly protests governments who waste money on SSDs and encourage their leaders to fire their designers and by 100x better ships at 1/100th the cost from Capsule Corporation.

you sir are an idiot, the SSD is only 8 km's, that is the posted length given by mr. george lucas, and the word is notalas, considering that it's a jitanese word, i reiterate my position you are an idiot

it's two, that's hardly mass production, and more than half the space faring nations on the site have ships more than this size
it's two, that's hardly mass production, and mroe than half the space faring nations on the site have ships more than this sizeOOC: And how many are good RPers?
i don't know all of them so i can't say for sure
Yeah, I know, and it's stupid (you were right btw, 8km, but still overkill)
What is the point of an SSD? In SW it was only a weapon of fear... but if you have any sort of weapons at all... then it's nothing but a giant neon "attack me" sign.
and i need weapons of terror, the SSD is a great weapon and after all it is my decision isn't it?
Even more so if you go by the originals blueprints... three A-Wings blew up the bridge and disabled the Executor.
yes, but they were using flawed tactics, the SSD NEVER goes into battle if it can be helped, it uses it's fighters to swarm the enemy, and provides logistical support

Not used in battle, ok, then why buil a MASSIVE weapon of war, but NOT use it?!
Fighters... isn't that what the Empire did? Didn't work too well.
the empire didn't take the rebellion seriously, and the ship would be used as a last ditch effort, or if fighting a fleet of significantly less ships
But... the fact is that the original plans for the ship are bad. Blow up the shield generators bove the bridge, then before they can increase defenses, blow the bridge to hell.
Ok... so this multi-trillion dollar ship has no value whatsoever against anyone who has more than snubfighters... ok... then you build it because...?
so i'll change the plan, thanks for the tip, more shield generators, hide them, multiple command posts, not just the bridge

it has value against snubfighters if your personel aren't the bad guy in a film who never have good aim
Still doesn't fix the problem... the ship is dumb.
If you are going to build an SSD... build an Eclipse-Class SSD... at least that has more than just turbolasers... hello... i'ts got it's own superlaser!
My point it... why build a ship this big if there is no big weapon for it to hold? It's all form with no function... just a weapons platform with engines.

i believe i've been very clear here, i'm building it because i want to
i believe i've been very clear here, i'm building it because i want toPsst... that's OOC... I'm talking IC... what nation would build this... any nation under a man that says "I'm gonna spend 100 trillion on a target, I mean space ship, cuz I want to, and it looks cool, and it's name has "super in it!" is gonna get a little... umm... unruly :)

Okay One the SSD is a bad ship POWERFULL as hell and a bastard to fight but it was a status symbol, we have THIS much Cash and resources we can afford to build these monsetrs how are you ever going to oppose us, not a warship.
TWO they where not repeat where NOT Shield generator's. The shield Generators where elsewhere on the ship, because if that was the shield generator how did it cover the bottom of the ship? because of so many reasons I won't go into but instead direct you to SDnet (http://stardestroyer.net/) look at the facts there. They where Sensor domes, this fallacy that because the shields went down at the same time roughly as the Domes they had to be shields is anoying
I now return you to the thread.
Well in every lucasarts video game, the globe thingies are shield generators... in every SW Tech book, they're shield generators... I trust Copyrighted Lucasarets materials over Fansites anyday ;) so... whatever... it's only got little guns... no point to it. Like I said.. any of my ships could take it easily... and probably from a good distance too.
i am building a Soverign Super Star Destroyer. it can FIT ISD's inside it's Hanger!
it'll take 6 NS years to finish

Just build a space station!
beacuse it'll test the abillity's of my engineers, besides i already have 3 shipyards and 4 Golon III stations near our homewold. :twisted:

You peoples is crazy!
Next thing I know, you'll be spending 1500 trillion on a death star... ;)
no, i am going to do THAT when i reach 1 bill. :twisted: besides, 6 NS years is a reasonable amount of time to build this ship.
no, i am going to do THAT when i reach 1 bill. :twisted: besides, 6 NS years is a reasonable amount of time to build this ship.LOL you can't build a death star with 1 billion people!! LOL are you kidding me? The Imperials had over a TRILLION before they made a deat hstar... it would seriously cost around 1500 trillion at LEAST! no one has that much money!
IOW: I hope you're kidding... otherwise I'll ignore you when that comes lol
