Foe Hammer, while increasingly militant, has decided to downsize it's Space fleets, in order to make both physical room and financial room for the new line of Gravship classes that continue to go from pen and paper to hammer and nail.

But, for the Gravship project to continue, sacrifices must be made. Therefore, Foe Hammer will be scrapping TWENTY of it's rather old Chaos-class Fleets and six Liberty-class Fleets. This will cut maintainance costs in half, provide more building materials, and make room for the more efficient, more reliable Gravship line.

While the past shall remain preserved, we must focus on the future, for the good of the citizens, for the good of Foe Hammer, and for the good of the world.

The new numbers of the Armada have been updated. You may view them here: http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=110085

We will be selling scraps, as they are no longer of any use to us, due to armor changes.

We estimate 3,260 short gigatons of Steel after the Chaos-class Fleets are scrapped.

We also estimate 2,934 short gigatons of Steel after the Liberty-class fleets are scrapped.

Any buyers looking for cheap steel? :P

Have they been scrapped already? If not, we will buy two fleets of each class. We're looking for older ships at the moment, for... well, it is classified information.

Ehhhh.... You're WAAAAAAAAAAAY too young. We're talking Multi-trillion-dollar fleets here.

Meh, people complain about the number of ships I have, and now I receive no congratulations or praise for SCRAPPING almost a quarter of my fleet?

So ...does my nation qaulify for purchase?

So ...does my nation qaulify for purchasing rights?

(I thought I hit the edit button.)

For those young nations who are trying to "bulk up", you should probably start a little lower. Quality ships at affordable prices are available at the Klonor Ship Store!

Instead of attempting to buy fleets costing 20 times your entire yearly budget, start here and equip yourself with that which you can actually support.

DIE

DIE U GODAMM CLONE POSTS!

Ummm i sorta wanted to use them for target practice for this :twisted:
http://www.n00bstories.com/image.fetch.php?id=1072853320

I need moving targets with shields to test it. And as I dont have any military starships (Im purely in sol) um...well I need to buy some.

Foe Hammer:

A madman does not get congratulated or praised for not killing people one day.

Zepplin:

What the heck are you going to do with that thing? It looks like that Tycho gun is going to be target practice from how vulnerable it appears to be.

We will sell you fleets, stripped of only top-secret technology.

Chaos-class Starfleets cost an average of $4-6 trillion, and Liberty Fleets an average of $6-9 trillion.

We will sell you tech-stripped Chaos fleets for $1 trillion per fleet, and tech-stripped Liberty fleets for $5 trillion.

It can be used as a gravity wave cannon... um the closer you get the more it can shield itself. um I have an RP somewhere for it that should explain it a bit better...um righ here it is... vunlerable? um im not going to post my tycho map but my facility is um somewhat larger than the main effector discharge point.

ah the RP thingy
Z.M.I. A.I. Designation: Tike internal data record [time index: 00:11:23:23-11/2/2342]

T-5 seconds to activation commander... the voice was eerily soulless, the Tycho base A.I. with the nick name of Tike was one of the largest node A.I.’s Z.M.I had ever built and it gave Commander Stephens the willies. He had been command of Z.M.I.s prime and only major off world real estate barely 4 months ago...just in time for his career to receive a much needed boost from the testing of Z.M.I.'s main project.. to challenge the star drives and war fleets that made open trade in space nearly impossible.

T-4 seconds to activation commander... all crews report nominal. civilian evac of Tycho city to the deep shelters is complete. Commencing Raising the gravity shield wall now..
Deep below the surface of Tycho crater vast energies seethed, for now they were bottled, controlled and forced into patterns by Tike. Emitter towers dotted over the surface of Tycho blasted these energies into the night sky to create a wall of force projecting out from the centre of the crater to a point far into space. Now the floodgates of power opened, hundreds of underground reactors poured there outputs into the system.

T-3 seconds to activation commander... Tycho CnC unlike Tycho city was shielded from the test mainly not by the energy wall but by the mass of the mountain at the centre of the Tycho crater which the huge above ground facility backed on to. And even with dampers that were designed for dreadnaughts the base was beginning to feel the effects.. Dust began to drift down from the roof in the CnC sparkling in the command holographic’s.

T-2 seconds... Final safety line has been passed commander... Now if the device didn’t work the blast from the released energy would probably volatize the entire of Tycho crater. If the rest of the world had known what Z.M.I. was planning they would have never allowed it to go ahead. Zoom to the device itself, a seeming jumble of nodes, emitters and buffer banks this huge metallic mess was the focus of all the activity. Over its surface repair drones skittered, there armored innards capable of surviving the terrible pressure now being exerted....

T-1 second commander... activation sequence in final stage... Energy roared through channels made of pure force, was focused, focused again and again... then finally the main emitter discharged... A lance of gravitic fury erupted from its gaping circular maw. First the primary ring of emitters fired, then the secondary ring, then the so called "defense towers" placed on the rim of the crater fired there massive hidden gravity effectors... The lance warped... seemed to hit a wall in space and began to spread out... slowly by the measure of say a nuclear detonation but mind numbingly quickly by the dull senses of a human a toroid appeared.. first it was a glowing thing of pure energy, then in a sudden flash the ring expanded outward and its width shrank.. the ring then seemed to vanish into a thin black line. Starlight already warped by the huge stress that space time was under began to fall into the ring. Then something odd came to view. The view through the ring was not that of the outer spiral arm where earth was situated but instead the deep glow of the far galactic core.


T+1 Stable toroidal singularity established commander.. wormhole command wishes to commence drone launch as soon as possible, I require your authorization to go ahead. Commander? Commander? The CnC was in chaos the sound of cracking champagne corks filled the air with party poppers shimmering as they passed through the displays," Granted, granted, how long will it stay open for?" I estimate no more than 2 hours +or- .3%.
That is 4% fully above average theory. "Very good very good" release our success to the press.



The base rumbled into activity... Message drones were prepared to launch through the gateway to the galactic powers..

Um that should make things a bit clearer. 8)

Gonna buy some fleets or not?

Yes.
I require 2 tech stripped chaos fleets. One for weapons tests the other to be retrofitted as transports.

Okay. We have two already stripped. The fleets are being towed to you.

Please wire the money.

Gravity wave cannon? The closer you get the more it is shielded? You mean layered shields, don't you?

And I was unaware that gravity was a wave...

- Sovy K.

... SO you want to me to say a curved vortex of space time effectorr? I mean it may not be a wave but its EASIER to say wave in conversation. And curved space time effector doesnt have the same ... kick that gravity wave cannon has. SO if I generate a warp in space time in the shape of a wave...what do I call my weapon? A gravity paddle perhaps? ...NO Im calling its close weapon application a gravity wave cannon. I could go on about how in theory I could just create a wormhole mouth anywhere shrink the appeture or just leave no safe vector of entry at all and dump it in the middle of a target.. like say a fleet or :roll: someones 40 gigaton gravships... or just a planet. The uncontroled effect on the other end of the toroid alone would be devestating. Its all theory Its partiallyl fiction, but in theory if you could control gravity you could create a stable entry way and a stable wormhole. In theory. But the other end? It would be like dropping a large planetary mass squeezed into the space of Australia into a system. You people go around with your fancy anti gravity and grav ships, fine but if you can effect the very fabric of space time you have to get the weapons applications. Um as for the shields once you control gravity you HAVE the ultimate shield technolgy. Its a giant gravity effector at the heart of an array of smaller ones... get the picture? The closer you get the higher curve I can put in space time.
