May I build a Knossos in your system?

If your stellar system, or systems, is not on this map may I build a Knossos Sub-Space Portal in your system?

The Knossos will do nothing except creat an artificial Jump-Node, allowing the inter-system Sub-Space network to be strengthened enough to reach your system. My ships, and others who use Sub-Space for Faster than Light travel, will thus be able to reach you in 1/60 of the time it would take if they had to rely on my backup FTL technology.

We are willing to take all construction costs upon ourselves, and will send our own people to build the Knossos. Please, allow us this portal so that we may further our voyages into space.

If you signed a non-agression pact, we would be glad to. we speak for us, Ssakura, Kyther, and the other nations in our system.

Sure, but only under one condition, make your signature less obtrusivly large.

Find some way to compress it into a smaller size with all the same info and I'd be glad to.

Put Memberships in a list with commas

(I.E.: Memberships: ESUS, GA, Screwball space alliance, Jewsh people convention, ect.)

Go on YIM.

We have a string of major colonies running from Triton to Zarahemla... is there any way we could bridge these systems with something similar?

The colonies are each roughly 5000 light years apart, forming a trade route chain from sol all the way to the other side of the galactic core.

Would this be possible?

Good one, CC.

Knossos portals are massive, expensive things. I doubt it would be worth it to build one in every colony system. Maybe they're already connected by natural Jump-Nodes, we haven't yet mapped them all

Fine, you can put one in the West Esterberry system anyway.

You wanna get to PSR1257+12 (which you probably wouldn't, anyway), you use the Wormhole. No foriegn constructions there, no way....

Do you already have one in my system? I can't remember. If not, for a non-aggression pact I will let you build one.

I'll send the construction crews right away

Maybe someone should concentrate on building a stable connection to Sol...
Klonor

There is, there's been a Knossos in Sol for NS decades

There is, there's been a Knossos in Sol for NS decadesOf course there is, but according to the map it's become unstable.
Klonor

Yes, that's why the Knossos was put there. The original Jump-Node was made unstable, the Knossos has it stabilized.

A knossos jump node..

Sounds interesting.. but we must put a hold to that thought as newsnet has undisclosed the news of a coup-de-etat in klonor space.. the duke it seems is dead.. and one of his highest ranking officers in command.. the one that killed Duke Klonor..

We must wait for this situation to estabilize..

Be my guest. However, know that part of my Navy will be watching you at all times. You ARE a competitor after all, and comradeship only goes so far.
12-11-2003, 06:36
Do you have one anywhere near earth? We have a space fleet but have yet to develop viable methods of faster than light travel. Having one of these gates around would be highly expeditious for our efforts at interstellar exploration and possible colonization.

Guanyu, if you haven't noticed I just had a revolution. I'm now evil, expansionist, and have closed down my storefront.

Alvarezistan, there is a Knossos in Sol, but you still need Sub-Space technology to use it. I rarely ever gave that out before, and I never will now that I went "bad"

I read that thread right after posting that. I will contain my maniacal laughter for the time being.

If the Sol gate needs to be strengthened or secured:
Even though we are technically a post-modern nation, we have built a number of spaceports to trade raw good with future-tech nations. We would gladly host a node at Sol(earth specifically) if you agreed to some trade contracts.

(Because of international (godmod) laws, we are not allowed to possess future-tech without becoming a future-tech nation, which would suck for us since we are unprepared to make the jump to it; we would therefore be vulnerable to attack by future-tech nations(bad for us). However, due to a loophole we are allowed to trade and maintain peaceful relations with them, and the Relic region's economy is based off space-to-earth trade.)

If you can garuntee a decent volume of traffic of ships looking to import or export to earth, then consider us your newest node!

There is already a Sub-Space node in Sol. We do not need another one. (It says it all in the first post)

But thanks anyway
