Interesting, how much does this project cost and how much do you think maintenance costs would be?

Powerfularmies came up with this back in early july
There was also developments about something like this (OOC: do a search for MOBO), to which we were a part of.
"Cost is going to be approximately $3.8 Billion, while maintenance by the year is going to be approximately $211 Million."
-CG Mark Spitz
I think a Nimitz costs 3.8 billion, So you're looking more at a 9-10 billion each or more.

Can this also carry bombers, such as the B-1B or B-2, and small transports such as the C-130 (which is actually SMALLER than the B-52)? Or is this too small?

OOC:
Hmm, a movable base with the ability to have bombers.
Think of the tactical opportunities...

Too bad this was originally posted by Isolationist Peoples and he claimed to have it copyrighted to him. The past few threads on MOBO's have therefore been infringements on his copyright privileges.

Not to mention the fact that his plan had far more opportunities because it was constructed of interlocking modules, therefore the owner could specify what size they wanted, creating basically a floating base that could conform to any operation requirements.
OOC: Copyright-ing technologies is crap here, I agree (for ex. copyrighting the concept of VTOL, copyrighting the concept of a submarine aircraft carrier, etc.)
If they can copyright mobile military bases, so can I copyright the concept of fighter jets and tanks :roll:

I was merely pointing out that on NS, he was not the first to have this idea, and that it had already been explored in full in a previous thread. The store threads and business competition in general would be far more interesting if people would respect other's ideas...
OOC: True, but people already has thought about these kinds of mobile military bases in RL.

I know....but on NS business competition would be so much better if individual stores respected copyrights...then there would actually be competition, rather than just who has the most (or prettiest) pictures.
