Our Space Installation

The Grand Duchy of Klonor, having recently achieved inter-stellar flight, and having colonised the planets of Deneb, Regulus, and Epsilon Pegasi, is proud to announce our most recent achievent. Using technology purchased from other, more advanced nations, we have built our first Arcadia class Stellar Installation.

Our ships, designed as colony and transport ships, are slow, lumbering masses, unsuitable for the jobs of keeping up communication, trade, and defense of all our planets. These installations will be stationed in every system and will take over the job of shuttling goods to and from the planet, using the Phase Gate technology that was pruchased a few days ago. They will also serve as the main defense, since they are much more heavily armed than cargo ships. Their communication systems are able to go faster-than-light (thanks to the Mindset jump-node network) so we no longer need send vessels back and forth between systems with routine mail. We hope that their introduction will herald a new age of prosperity for our people.

Each station sports 20 Beam Cannons, 250 Laser Turrets, and 70 Flak Cannons.

They are able to station 300 fighter craft, as well as numerous freighters, transports, and repair vessels.

They also contain repair and re-supply docks for servicing capital ships.

In addition, there are three four-star hotels and 27 dining establishments on each station.

And they each have a Screaming Wookie bar. (That place is just amazing)

Total Crew: 10,000

Maximum Passengers: 15,000

OOC: I know what you're thinking "This guy is new, and shouldn't be able to do half this stuff. He's a godmodder and we should just fire off a couple ignore missles and be done with it." I am not a godmodder because all this technology was bought from other, much more advanced nations than me. They do have the technology, and they decided to share it with me. We got the materials from the three planets that we colonised. Unless I missed something (and I hope to god that I didn't), our installations or not godmoding. If they are, please tell me, and I'll do what I can to fix it.

OOC: Google images? i saw that same one.

IC: nice job, we commend you on you installation.

Thank you Crimson Blades, we appreciate your kudos.

OOC: Nah, I got this from the game FeeSpace (kick *** game). It's an Arcadia class space installation and performs pretty much the same function as it does here.

Added bonus, the ships in FreeSpace also use jumpnodes, so if I use them for my ships here (that wont be for a long time) they're already set up for the Mindset jumpnodes.

BUMP and where is this space installation?

OOC: Question, why is the space-station designed in such a strange manner, that there is no way to instill the wonders of gravity into it? Wouldn't just be easier to rotate a hollowed out donut?

we congradulate the people of Klonor on the construction of these new inselations

BUMP and where is this space installation?

As I stated, there will be one, possibly more, in each of our claimed systems. Right now the only one in service is in the Deneb system, since that was the first system settled and needs the most assistance. The installations for the other colonized systems (Regulus and Epsilon Pagasi) will the coming on-line soon.

In regards to the gravity question, we are able to create artificial gravity without the use of spinning. The spinning technology that makes artificial gravity possible is flawed, with gravity shifting wherever you go in the ship. This technology creates a gravity field, so all things are pulled "down", the same direction for everybody.

Three more installations, rushed into service due to some hastily made promises, have just been completed. Based in the Regulus and Epsilon Pegasi systems, they also offer sanctuary to any vessel in trouble. Well armed, well supplied, and well catered (If you're going to live in space, at least eat well), we are open to any who need help or just want to stop by for a drink.

The third is based in the Gamma Draconis sytem, home to our primary military base. Mainly serving as a refueling and repairing depot, it also serves as the living quarters for the soldiers stationed at the base, and as another line of defense should it come under attack.

The Aivon-Rosian Colony Fleet, purchased from Klonor, will be passing through Epsilon Pegasi and Regulus, at least three times. Stops our scheduled for the stations. We thank you for the fleet and the service.

We welcome our good friends from Avion-Rose, and will try to make their stay a pleasant one. (Go to the Screaming Wookie bar, it's amazing)

With the progress of the GA intallation, and the further advancing of Klonor technology, we currently have five Arcadia Installations that are not in use. We are willing to sell, and transport, the surplus installations to any nations who wish them.

Each station sports 20 Beam Cannons, 250 Laser Turrets, and 70 Flak Cannons.

They are able to station 300 fighter craft, as well as numerous freighters, transports, and repair vessels.

They also contain repair and re-supply docks for servicing capital ships.

In addition, there are three four-star hotels and 27 dining establishments on each station.

And they each have a Screaming Wookie bar. (That place is just amazing)

The current price for one station is 300 billion.

Last chance to buy a very good station
Klonor

Only four Arcadias left
28-08-2003, 08:59
cool
Klonor

So, you wanna buy one? Discount for GA members.
28-08-2003, 09:02
already have a ship for that...plus i already have 3 planets colonized and harvesting minerals
Klonor
28-08-2003, 09:05
Already have a ship for what? And what does the amount of planets matter? I have 4 planets colonized, another system working as a military base, and I see no reason how that would effect the Arcadia.

Another one sold! Only three left. Buy 'em while they're hot!
04-09-2003, 05:35

Klonor

The Principality of Vanyc would like to purchase the last space station. Please have it set in Geo-synchronous orbit over my country.
Klonor

That will be 300 billion. Station will be placed in orbit upon payment.
