OOC: I'm near future tech, as in 2050+ but feel free to say something anyways, just bare in mind this.
After much thought of our current space related forces and defence, we have decided to prepare for the construction of a second Carrier to vastly increase our Fighter/Corvette forces in the stars. While we have yet to develop FTL technology, we feel that leaving the solar system is not an objective we are currently interested in, as we have no desire to conquer the stars at this time.
Like the last time we constructed a carrier, we will be using our Scaffolding Station, originally produced to construct the first Carrier we have ever had, to build this second Carrier. It has since then been customised to house many support personnel as well as fighters and corvettes of it’s own. But now we are converting parts again to house the parts and finally the hull of this large capitol ship that will have a overall mass of 600’000 tons when completed.
Like before, the carrier is a large capital ship that contracts and houses small strike craft as well as constructing larger frigate class ships to assist in defence and support. The Carrier will be able to house 50 fighter class craft and 25 corvette class craft.

The construction will be aided by the our previous experience with building a Carrier before as well as the added bonus of TVC’s spider drones we hope that this project will take around 8 years to complete (8 days RL) not including the two years (2 days RL) from now that will be used to collect the required material to start production of this ship. This construction will be monitored and defended by our current space forces as well as some of our own ally’s space defences. After this we hope that our Missile Destroyer capitol ship plans will be completed and simulated successfully.
OOC: Ah yes… this is a repeat of a long dead thread I made back when I was only 800 million people large, I constructed both the Scaffolding Station and the Carrier in 18 years with the assistance of TVC who donated some spider drones for testing. We beat our estimate by 7 years! Of course, I actually waited and posted about it in the 18 days that it took in real time… don’t you love actual R & D threads that don’t have the limitless resources of Future nations that have barely an 8th of my population.
Anyways, this project if now happening and yes, it’s the Carrier from “Homeworld”, I only know of very few nations that didn’t steal other concepts to show picture of their ships… just because mines been done quite a few times before, doesn’t mean I didn’t put thought into it. That said, this picture is from my own copy of the game and actually features my nations colours.
Here’s a OOC link of the capabilities of my space forces… please feel free to post, it needs a bump it’s on the 8th page of my posts list. (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=68792&highlight=)
