Dakal Space Store (Modern and Near Future) (Picture Warning)

18-11-2003, 00:47
OOC: Tech level ranges from about 1980s (Space shuttle like tech) to the 2030s. Also, if my prices are wrong (which they probaly are), please tell me. They're all just guesses. All ships are sub-light.

Orbital Craft

Gem of Dakal Class Inter-environment Large Shuttle

Dakal's standard low cost shuttle, used largely by private corporations. An old design, only some are still in service with the government.

It is an upgraded and scaled up design of our first manned space capsule.

The egg-shaped bow section contains a cockpit and living quarters for the crew. Then, there is a place to secure modular attachments. The modular attachments can rotate to generate artificial gravity. The room[s]'s alignment inside are perpendicular to the egg-shaped bow rooms, so it is a little tricky entering. We currently sell a passenger module and a labratory module. Behind the modular attachment is the engine module. It is launched into orbit on a reusable rocket, and re-enters by itself, landing in the ocean. It is fully reuseable, and uses a rocket engine to get into orbit and re-enter, with ion jet thrusters to manuver while in orbit.

Being launched into orbit by the reusable rocket

Length: 40 Meters
Height (Without modular attachment): 25 Meters
Decks: 2
Mass (Without modular attachments + empty): 72,000 kg
Hull Material: Titanium, with composite re-entry layer outside
Crew without a modular attachment: 2 (Pilot, Copilot), plus one optional engineer or scientist.
Weaponry: None, although nothing is stopping you from developing a weapons modular pod (We have).
Cost: $75,000,000
Cost of Launch Rocket: $50,000,000
30 Person Passenger Pod: $10,000,000
Science Labratory Pod: $50,000,000

Lightning Class Space Plane

Finding much more use now in government service, and growing in popularity among private companies. Some private airlines have even begun using it to carry wealthy clientele into space, or very quickly across the earth.

It can take off and land like a plane, and can carry people across the Earth at hypersonic speeds as well. It is unarmed, although modified versions do exist in military service. You may fit the bay with whatever you want. We simply sell the interior bay empty and leave modifications up to you. It uses an ion jet engine for space travel.

Length: 50 Meters
Height: 10 Meters
Decks: 1 deck, the rest is system space
Mass (Empty): 90 Metric Tons
Hull Material: Titanium reenforced composite hull
Crew without a modular attachment: 2 (Pilot, Copilot), plus however many crew you fit it for.
Weaponry: None, although weapons could be fitted inside the bay.

Cost: $125,000,000

Thunder Class Spaceplane

Further refinement of the spaceplane idea yields this large, more advanced vessel.

Length: 53.6 Meters
Height: 40 Meters
Decks: 3
Mass (Empty): 110 Metric Tons
Hull Material: Titanium reenforced composite hull
Crew without a modular attachment: 3 (Pilot, Copilot, Gunner), plus however many crew you fit it for.
Weaponry: 2x Torpedo Tubes
Cost: $250,000,000

Orbital Pod

This is used to shuttle people around in orbit. It is incapable of entering an atmosphere. It has very simple ion jet thrusters. Controls are very simple to operate, making this an ideal space pilot training craft. It is designed to be a cheap, simple way to carry people from one place to another. It docks through an airlock hookup in the rear.

Interplanetary Vessels

Voyager Class Long-Range Shuttle

Designed for interplanetary trips, it has enough provisions stored to carry a crew of three to Mars and back. It is propelled by an ion jet engine, but signifgantly more powerful than those used on orbital craft. It features a lidar scanner and a transspectral imager, for scientific scanning. An equipment locker is located aboard, which can be easily converted to a cargo bay in under five minutes. It can then be converted back just as easily.

Length : 46 Meters
Decks: 1
Diameter: 8 Meters
Span of solar cells: 61.4 Meters
Mass (Empty): 92 Metric Tons
Hull Material: Titanium Reenforced Composite Hull
Crew: 1-3. Total number of three persons may be aboard.
Weaponry: None

Space Weapons

Type 1 Torpedos

The are the standard torpedos aboard all armed Dakalian ships.

Explosive Type: Plastic Explosive
Explosive Amount: 400kg
Propulsion: Standard Rocket Engine
Length: 2.8 Meters
Diameter: 50 Centimeters
Range: Theoretically infinate. Rocket fuel will run out after 300 KM of total distance traveled (including turns.), ending acceleration. If it still manages to impact upon the target after more than that amount, it will still explode.
COST: $500,000

Type 2 Torpedos

These are the standard issue heavy torpedos aboard all armed Dakalian ships.

Explosive Type: Plastic Explosive
Explosive Amount: 1000kg
Propulsion: Standard Rocket Engine
Length: 6 Meters
Diameter: 50 Centimeters
Range: Theoretically infinate. Rocket fuel will run out after 800 KM of total distance traveled (including turns.), ending acceleration. If it still manages to impact upon the target after more than that amount, it will still explode.
COST: $600,000

MORE TO COME SOON IN ALL CATEGORIES!

u want some advice im not an expirienced player or nothin but.. i do know you should ethier pick modern or post modern

OOC: The Gem of Dakal class if the only one that is exactly capable with modern tech. The rest are like what you see in 2001: A Space Odyssey. Of course, we don't have that tech now in RL, much less in 2001. We'll probaly have it in the 2030s though, which is generally acknowledged to be the near-future tech.

Interesting... I would place that around 2050 due to rail guns/mass drivers/etc.

But still, would people please buy from us?

Alright I want to buy Gem of Dakal Class Inter-enviroment Large Shuttle with the launch rocket 30 person passenger pod and the science lab

that comes to

185,000,000 dollars.

It will be used for development.
