The Klonor Ship Store, renowned throughout Space NS as a source of quality ships for relatively low prices, has hit a bit of a wall. The capital ships sold, while of excellent quality and great price value, cost billions upon billions and require crews numbering in the thousands. While this is no real impediment for large nations with limitless resources, it is the small nations that most require purchased ships. Larger nations construct their own vessels, they have the technology and resources. Smaller nations wish to purchase, due to their lack of materials to construct the vessels, their lack of technology to equip the vessels, and the lack of facilities to build the vessels. However, how can they purchase and use quality ships if the cost of one is more than a years budget, and the crew numbers half their population? The price of a ship cannot merely be lowered for the small nations, since then the payment wouldn't cover the costs of building the ships, and the problem of crewing the ship still exists. So, what to do? You can't change the price, so change the ship. We, the owners of the Klonor Ship Store, would like to present to you the latest ships, designed for purchase and use by those young nations who just need a good start.

Additional Equipment
Weaponry:
Name: Pulse Laser
Description: A rapid-fire, low energy, krypton laser; used in tactical situations to distract or lead an enemy to their destruction at the hands of other, more powerful weapons. This weapon, if used over an extended period of in-flight battle, can destroy an enemy vessel, but, as a destructive weapon, should only be used as a last resort.
Price: 1,860
http://www2.freepichosting.com/Images/132612/18.jpg
-
Name: Beam Laser
Description: A laser-based weapon focused via transparent ceramic optics; the initial shots gauge the hull material of the enemy vessel and shift the phase of the laser to more effectively penetrate the hull. A durable, portable, and highly destructive offensive tool.
Price: 11,625
http://www2.freepichosting.com/Images/132612/17.jpg
-
Name: Military Laser
Description: A smaller, less powerful version of the standard Beam Cannon. Approximately 1/3 the power output of the standard, it poses a severe threat in massed groups as well as an extreme capacity for damage against smaller sized capital and support ships.
Price: 32,550
http://www2.freepichosting.com/Images/132612/23.jpg
-
Shields:
Name: Energy Shield
Description: Standard energy shield, it provides adequate shielding against the majority of starship hazards. Effective against both physical and energy weapons.
Price: 4,650
http://www2.freepichosting.com/Images/132612/15.jpg
-
Name: Reflective Shields
Description: Advanced energy shield, the outer surface is polarized to assume a mirror like quality. Reflects away small energy based weapons. Reflection is in addition to normal shielding effects.
Price: 18,600
http://www2.freepichosting.com/Images/132612/16.jpg
-
Miscellaneus Gadgets:
Escape Pod
Description: A simply device, it can hold up to two people as they flee the destruction of a ship. Equipped with a small thruster system it is capable of reaching nearby worlds, but nothing beyond a few thousand miles. Essential to have on any ship, it is often all that stands between life and dying a slow death on a cripple vessel.
Price: 2,000
http://www2.freepichosting.com/Images/134012/3.jpg
-
5 Extra Cargo Bays
Descritpion: An additional 5 containers added onto the side of the ship, increasing the amount of cargo that can be held
Price: 2,325
http://www2.freepichosting.com/Images/132612/13.jpg
-
Auto-Repair System
Description: A number of miniscule robots stationed around the hull, whenever damage is taken they are activated and work to repair the hull (does not replace full hull repair)
Price: 6,975
http://www2.freepichosting.com/Images/132612/24.jpg
-
Navigating System
Description: Uses sensitive gravitic sensors to plot the locations of the sun and planets in a system and locates the closest possible point for Warp re-entry (approximately 10,000 km closer than non-assisted Warp)
Price: 13,950
http://www2.freepichosting.com/Images/132612/26.jpg

Price: 23,250
http://www2.freepichosting.com/Images/132612/25.jpg
-
Cloaking System
Description: Not a visual cloak, this system projects force fields around the ship which give it a more round and rugged sensor outline, similar to that of an asteroid or other stellar body. Sensors often mistake the ship for an asteroid. Not extremely effective.
Price: 93,000
http://www2.freepichosting.com/Images/132612/27.jpg

Each Cargo Bay can hold approximately one ton of lead. This is due to the physical size of the metal, not it's weight. It can hold the equivelant in any other material.
The ships use a complex Warp Drive FTL system (Not the warp used in Star Trek) to teleport instantaneously from star system to star system. However, their Warps use up much fuel and they are limited in distance (the distance for each ship is listed in its description).
Upon purchase each ship is equipped with a simple Pulse Laser in one weapon slot (if available), with the rest of its weapon, shield, and gadget slots empty and available for use. Equipment can be purchased to be used in each slot to improve upon the performance of the ship.
The number of crew quarters is the number of surplus quarters, quarters in addition to the lodgings of people required to run the ship. Theoretically, each ship can be run with only one person. Unfortunately, with only one person to both fly, shoot, repair, load cargo, etc. the ships do not perform extremely well. However, the extra quarters allow more people to board the craft and take over additional tasks, increasing the performance of the ship.
The rating of the hull strength is relative to inches of collapsed-core molybdenum. Each increase of 1 in the rating is the equivelent of an addition of one inch of armor.
These vessels, though smaller and cheaper than the usual Klonor ships, are of the same quality that you have come to expect. They will serve you well.
