The Excalibur is the ultimate warship. It is crewed by Drayus and a number of the remaining original citizens of Blademasters, who Drayus convinced to work with the AIs and himself. The Excalibur’s armor can reflect 70-80% of the damage inflicted by enemy weaponry, although the 20-30% can mount up quickly. Drayus commands the ship’s weapons and maneuvers while in combat, and the crew commands the tactical and strategic aspects of the fight. Drayus takes on amore passive role while the craft is not actively in combat. The soldiers carried are suited in heavy body armor, with built in weaponry. They also carry a pulse cannon, and in-ship weaponry for boarding defense. Passengers are classified as persons not part of the crew, and not in full body armor, passengers can be diplomats, or soldiers in light armor. The Fighter crew includes pilots, and maintenance crews. The Kharak II Cannon is a heavier version of the Kharak cannon, more powerful, and requiring considerably more energy. The cannon takes 30 seconds to charge, and after it fires, the ship must wait 30 seconds before its systems become operational again, because of the massive strain this gun puts on the Quantum Singularity. Only basic maneuvering and life support are functional while the singularity is rebuilding its power. Firing this cannon more than once every few hours will put a huge amount of strain on the power core, the ship’s frame, and the cannon itself. Prototype repeated fire of the cannon has resulted in loss of the entire prototype, the AI onboard, and the entire crew. The prototype literally shattered from the massive stress the repeated firing of the gun caused, and the Excalibur has been refitted to attempt to allow it to fire more often.

There isn't anything to say until the pictures are up. How they look is how your fleet is regarded.

The Pictures have arrived (for the most part, god bless angelfire's 20mb storage space)

A bunch of the pics don't work

holy shit! :shock: my space fleet is about a quater of that.

From what I can see, it does look like a nice fleet

holy shit! :shock: my space fleet is about a quater of that.

lol, my flet is like 3 times that form what i can tell, but i lost alot of my specs when i reformatted my pc.

OOC: hehe about the size... these ships are expensive to produce, and relatively inexpensive to maintain, due to their rugged designs, and simple construction. Also, I have stockpiled quite a large ammount of money, due to the proceeds from my region's store thread, and lack of spending, other than on my space systems. Ardor... kinda sucks you had to reformat...

How long can they go without service?

Every ship in the Blademasters fleet (unless it is heavily damaged by weapons fire) can last for up to 4 years without major repairs, and complte overhuals are needed only every 40-100 years

well i got 2 classes of ships on a website so i got t2 of them and then i have one called the liberator, which i bought from raysia. But yeah the somewhere around 40 trillion in the bank from over 100 NS years of barely spending. IF you wanna look at the ones i managed to save you can go here: www. freewebs.com/ardor its kinda half done cause i was interuppted by the school year, and reformattation.

Nifty. How long before it needs to re-stock and refuel? (because it doesn't matter how long it can physically hold together if it runs out of batteries in two weeks)

hopefully he's smart and they will run for like 10-20 yeaas by using fusion cores or even so far as to use plasma energy cores

I dunno, I've seen some of his RP's :lol:

They use Fusion Reactors yes, about 10-20 years is right, and as to what Klonor said... The Blademasters doctrine for most ships (anything costing under a trillion BA Dollars [same as US] to produce) is to ram the enemy if there is no hope of survival, and to enforce it, we do not inlude escape pods on any ships. The reason they are destroyed easily (relatively) is because we do not use shielding, that is in deveopment, we simply use 6-7 meter thick hulls on our capital ships.

Shielding on ardorian ships is inplace but not officially yet, and the amount of damage it can take is generally from non-energy weapons.

What did I say?

you implied that my ships have short lifespans, by talking about my RPs, at least thats how i understood it.

BTW ifanyone wants to buy anything, be my guest, there is a discount for GA embers, and if im kind enough to you.

I'll take like 20 "Dia kantas" or whatever they're called.

Thats Dai Katana, and you are GA yes?
Your purchase is confirmed

OOC: im actually doing homework, so if you could do the math yourself, that would be appreciated, if not...

EDIT: GA members recieve a 10% total discount

since i've banked up quite amount of money by not spending for at least 40 years(NS time). SO i will take 6 dreadnoughts.

I was joking (didn't you see the little laughing dude?)

*1.8 trillion wired*

*15 trillion wired* well there goes my christmas money

Thanks, Jimathon, and Ardor purchase confirmed, have fun with our top of the line toys!
