First shipyard being built

Letila
23-10-2003, 01:38
In orbit around Letila, the first shipyard is under construction. This, combined with hypermatter, will give Letila a huge boost. Letila officials say that it will be complete in about one month. An organization known as the goa'uld are currently putting pressure on Letila and people are worried about a possible war.

It's from treating the poor and needy decently. I can't have a good economy and help them, too.

NYJ, you are a libertarian. Of course you have a good economy. MB is biased to your economics. I'm not a libertarian. I will thus ignore his bias. Frankly, you shouldn't be asking me to sacrifice the lives of the poor just to survive against the goa'uld.

If I sacrifice the needy to be able to defend us from the goa'uld, I lose. If I support the needy, the goa'uld will conquer us and I lose. I think your logic is a direct attack on us. The goa'uld seem to be fond of brainwashing parasites. You aren't under their control, are you?

OOC:Letila, the way RP works in this game is that we look at the statistics of the nation including the economy rating when determining something such as technology level and ability to form a military. Its just a proven fact, that the best a welfare nation such as yourself can muster (IRL) is a rather small military that is well equipped, or a large one that is ill-equipped. The reason your economy is the way it is,is because you have no balance. The rating is basically saying, your concern for your people has cut off the corporate/buisness market in your nation,and your country is paying for it. Everything has consquences. If you go through with the shipyard, older larger nations are just going to ignore you.

To benefit the companies means abolishing childlabor laws and minimum wage. How can I also help the poor?

You don't have to allow for things like that. For example, you can let companies advertise in the space program, or privatize beaches, or let them have political say. At the same time, spend on welfare and education, support unions, and such.

1) Don't taunt people who can squish you.
2) Ally yourself with strong nations that can counter the goa'uld.

Hypermatter is similar to regular matter, but is made of particles far heavier than protons and neutrons. As a result, it contains a lot more energy for a given volume. It will make my ships able to carry months of fuel and use it a lot.

Lets look this up in the Dictionary...
Hyper - Having a very excitable or nervous temperament; high-strung
or Emotionally stimulated or overexcited...

Matter - Something that has mass and exists as a solid, liquid, gas, or plasma

Sounds like this Matter is Emotionally stimulated... sounds nasty.

I think this is a good example of Tech Babble and we suggest you reconsider.

Letila, I've been monitoring this. They're right. There's a huge grey area between what's used in (Forum) RPs and how much is from the nation. But it's generally all agreed that Economy of the Nation plays a big part in the RP.

What I can suggest to you is the following: We will render economic assistance in exchange for goods, services, trade etc We can also build your ships and you buy it at an insanely low price (less than half of what you could build them for)..... In exchange, any tech and specs you develop, basically.

Very well..... I need you to "sign" this.

• Adejaani and Letila are now allies and this extends a de facto Non Agression pact to Adejaani's and Letila's allies
• Adejaani will build and sell to Letila, ships of Letila indigenous design, in exchange for any and all technology and specifications developed by Letila indigenously
• A full trade agreement exists between Adejaani and Letila, mostly the sale of goods, raw materials and services in exchange for currency

However, in signing this treaty:

• It does not "obligate" Adejaani into going to war against Letila's agressors and vice versa. Any defense of either nation would be reviewed and most likely agreed to, but not necessarily for certain
• Letila acknowledges that despite the massive amount of aid, particularly in terms of monetary aid, that it is not a free hand to build a massive military with which to wage war. Further, it is expected that Letila will develop a military consistent with the available amount of monetary resources



What that all means is that I'm not arming you to take on the Goa'uld. You'll probably have to restrict yourself to maybe six to ten ships at most until your economy improves (even if the rating doesn't, more people means more money, still). Further, if the Goa'uld were to attack, I'd probably respond and defend you. But that doesn't mean I have to, nor does it mean I'll support you if you take the offensive.

This will work. Terra Pvlchra(my previous nation that was deleted) left us a decent number of ships in case something were to happen to them(very brilliant manuver).
Adejaani
23-10-2003, 04:58
Well then, Letila, if you agree, the treaty's signed. The only thing I'm going to do is to restrict you to twelve vessels TOTAL for space forces for the moment. Even with my infusion of funds, you'll have trouble keeping it going.

I can start building new ships for you as soon as you divulge specs, as well as your Hypermatter tech. Which looks exceptionally interesting as a power source.

OOC: I am a country full of capitalist pigs, not very old, and I have a powerhouse economy, without any private companies. For a strong economy, big business is the way to go. To deal with the poor, put them to work. It's that easy. Don't just up and give them money, make them work for it. Not only does it benefit your economy, but it benefits the poor as well, eventually making them not-so-poor. It's that easy.

Dear Letila. Your first Cruiser and Frigate are ready and will be flown to you. Due to a shift in priorities, there has been a slight shift in ability to build your ships. The work schedule looks like this (the dates are NS Forum dates and LPCU means Letila Pre Commissioning Unit):

LPCU 1- Cruiser- Delivered (free)
LPCU 2- Frigate- Delivered (free)
LPCU 3- Cruiser- 27th Oct
LPCU 4- Cruiser- 27th Oct
LPCU 5- Frigate- 29th Oct (free)
LPCU 6- Frigate- 29th Oct
LPCU 7- Frigate- 29th Oct
LPCU 8- Frigate- 29th Oct
LPCU 9- Frigate- 31st Oct
LPCU 10- Frigate- 31st Oct
LPCU 11- Frigate- 31st Oct

As promised and as seen on the schedule, one Cruiser and two Frigates are free. The Cruiser will set you back roughly 300 million US dollars and the Frigates each 100 mil.

That's a fairly good price considering most nations will sell you 20th century ships for the same amount. However, I won't deliver you the ships until money has been wired.

I'm also going to hold you to your promise of no attacking me or my allies and continuing divulging of technologies.

Thanks, Adejaani. The flagship is named the Natsiûfiðaekûni(It-will-destroy-the-nazis). The other three cruisers are named the En@ini(it-can't-lose), the !Xunin@ini(It-impossible-for-it-to-lose) and the Astûusaðelûni(it-can-eat-stars). Overall, these names are quite intimidating.

As promised and as seen on the schedule, one Cruiser and two Frigates are free. The Cruiser will set you back roughly 300 million US dollars and the Frigates each 100 mil.

The money is on the way.

Your ship names are very fascinating, though we are afraid we do not understand it. Perhaps a cultural exchange between our two nations will change this, further bringing our two peoples closer together.

OOC: Do you know how verbs inflect for the number and person of their subject? IE, "I speak" is hablo, "You speak" is hablas, "He speaks" is habla. If you understand that concept, I'll be able to explain how my conlanguage works. If not, I could explain it another way.

IC: Yes, an embassy is a great idea.

OOC: Right. I think I've got that.

In my conlang, the person, number, and noun class(there are 3, animate, inanimate, and immaterial) of both the subject and the verb are on the verb, so "I see" would be Tl!ama and "I see you" would be Tl!akema. This allows free word order as the subject and object can be identified by the inflections on the verb that says what noun class, person and number the subject and object are, so Têl@u 'i||êlimi !'ûla and !'Ûla 'i||êkimi têl@u both mean "The person builds the building" regardless of word order. Nouns can be incorporated into verbs as well, so it can be expressed as !'Ûla'i||êkimi têl@u. The !, ||, and @ are clicks. There are 20 in this language.

We do want an embassy.

IC: The final three Frigates are being delivered. Considering your low economic capacity, we are willing to prop up businesses, buy your raw materials and goods at much inflated prices to prop up your economy. Further, it might be such that we ask your factories to build some items for us, thus boosting your indigenous manufacturing capabilities while generating income. Are you prepared to negotiate these terms?

Mostly, we are in need of Titanium. We could also contract you to build everything from aircraft central processors to radars, main battle tank chassis etc.

For now, we would like to place an order for:

• 20,000x "HMMWV" jeeps
• 30,000x 5 ton trucks

We've included the specs. We'll buy these from you and you'll build up your industries too.

On the other front, we are..... Puzzled by your offer to "sell" hypermatter. I thought that Hypermatter was generated and used by generators? If so, how does one "store" Hypermatter?

Ah yes, overgrown ships that are slow in realspace and can be easily taken out just be destroying the oddly placed shield generators, then a torpedoe to the command deck.

Actually the domes are not shield generators, they are communications domes. And with the scene of the Executor's dome exploding, and how everyone thinks its a generator. Explain this, if it is a shield generator, this how can starfighter-scale weapons harm it? They can't. The difference in firepower between what it can hold up against and what they are capable of is immense. The shields were down before the dome was destroyed. I can list sources to back this up if you want.

It probably is a shield generator. Think about it. Ackbar orders full firepower against the Executor. Someone blows up the dome. Piett orders "Increase forward firepower, I don't want anything to get through."

My conclusion? The domes are a dedicated bridge shield system. Piett is ordering them to protect the bridge until the rest of the shield generators can compensate and regenerate the shields up there. Simple, huh?

We have ways of storing it. We should give that tech to you, too, as hypermatter isn't too useful without it.

We are working on your vehicles right now.

Hypermatter is a most curious form of power generation. You will have to explain how it works. Is it some form of high energy plasma which is then used to power items? Or is it fed into a reactor, which then uses some form of energy transfer?

It is best explained as similar to a matter/antimatter reaction, but with far more energy dense matter.
