Doujin
25-03-2004, 01:30
Homer, nice try mate.. but I'm calling on your godmodding. For one thing, someof the prices here are way to low.. youd be going in debt.. a Sea Wolf Class submarine costs a little under 4.4 billion dollars to construct.. (selling price to the US is 4.4 bil) and it takes years to build sihps.. you couldnt possibly have them all done, pre-ordered and ship them out in 3 hours.
25-03-2004, 02:40
I am setting the price at the same one NORTHROP GRUMMAN uses. Is he a godmodder. Thre price for the Kilo is right in line. My Nimitz is more expensive than NGs. Is he a godmodder? Call him on it first hipocrite.

I can have them ready to ship because I prebuild them. When you buy a car you don't wait a few months for it to be built. They build fore the expected demand. That is waht I do. My tech is all modern and not BS lies like your ships which aren't even practical.

OCC: Ahem, ahem. That is a Slava class missile cruiser you have there Homer. The Kirov is equipped with vertical launch cells and is a lot bigger.

You might want to search on google "Kirov" and see what you get.
25-03-2004, 02:50
The picture is a Slava, (i searched Kirov class into google for my pic and got it), but my description is Kirov from the Janes Warchip Recognition Guide. That is where all my specs and info come from.

25-03-2004, 03:07
Trimaran hulled ships are practical, if you are refering to the Doujin Class, that is none of your business :)

And, if you would kindly actually look around for the stuff you are selling instead of copying.. you would know the actual price. I personally read the invoice for procurement of 4 Sea Wolf class submarines issued by Congress, and the price per sub was 4.4 billion.

(Note: Due to conflicting reports, I lower the price of the Seawolf class to 2.1 billion)

You sell the Nimitz Class for 3 billion with planes. The Nimitz class is sold to the US for 4.5 billion without planes.. interesting.

I didn't see a price for the Los Angeles Class, but the 688 cost 1.2-1.3 billion to construct.

That is just a little taste, Homer.

Now, I will explain how the Doujin Class is practical for ME. It is a billboard for my business (Doujinshi Corporation), it is a Flagship and is used for Power Projection.. and it is going to be a bitch to sink. And as for trimarans.. you want me to list all the advantages trimarans have over monohulls? Here I go..

Reduced hull resistance at higher speeds resulting in typically 18-20% less installed power for an escort sized vessel required to achieve 28 knots
Wide range of propulsion options
Greater fuel economy
Increased directional stability.
Improved stability and reduced motion.
Top weight growth margins are greater. There are significant additional stability benefits in the area of growth margins. This will allow equipment upgrades during the life of the ship to be easily accommodated .
Increased stealth - potential for reductions in radar cross section and infrared signatures. A reduction in heat signature could be gained be exhausting between the side hulls rather than conventional main structure funnelling.
The side hulls can be utilised for configuring a multiline towed array sonar.
Improved sea keeping performance at higher speeds, operational in higher sea states
Increased deck area (up to 40 per cent) on 1 and 2 decks for a given tonnage, offering more space for hangars, helicopter operation and weapons. Some of the greatest advantages for the trimaran comes from the improved effectiveness of the whole ship design afforded by this very large deck area.

Wow.. look at all those advantages! Now, fix your prices homer.
25-03-2004, 03:30
Demida, your order is confirmed. The ships will set sail in 3 hours.

OCC: My prices are those of NG. I am just keeping in line with competition. If I were to raise my prices, I wouldn't be able to sell ships. Tell your members of the Int. Mall to make their prices realistic first. Besides, the Seawolf and other stuff costs that much because this is the military with the 6,000 dollar toilet seat that you base the price on and don't forget the bribes and union employment in there.
Doujin
25-03-2004, 03:47
Excuse you? I will ignore any purchase from your storefront, homer. The prices of most other storefronts are actually realistic.. where as yours are not.

1. you make to little money off these ships to produce profit
2. It cost billions to pre-build all these vessels you are claiming to, and with a population of around 87 million and a thriving economy you simply couldn't do it.
3. I'm not even going to argue about price of the submarine, not even worth my time as you already seem incompetent enough to understand this.
4. I am not apart of this "International Mall".
25-03-2004, 03:59
I have a 50% military budget that = $180billion a year. The US Navy budget is less then $125 billion a year. i could technically afford all the ships in the US Navy and more.

My prices are based on the competition. Any good capitalist does that. ARe you being communist? My pricing is made so I will sell my ships. I follow the prices set by NG who is a member of the Int Mall. I also have ships he doesn't have like the Russian ships and I then use the stats of them and compare it to the stats of other ships to price them. I understand my prices are lower than in the US Navy, but the US Navy cost includes the 6,000 dollar toilet seat and 500 dollar hammer our Military has invented to cover for bribes.
25-03-2004, 04:34
If the rate of sales continues, I may have to back-order a few NS years
Doujin
25-03-2004, 05:12
Sicily, you idiot if your military budget was 50% your economy would collapse.. so that right there is godmodding. You can't go over 15% without your economy collapsing.. so that puts you at less than 67 billion for a military budget (at 15%)
25-03-2004, 05:31
my US History text book says that we had 90% mil spending from 1941-1945. It is credited with saving the economy and ending the depression.

From 1950-1974 we had 50-60% military spending. Those were 25 years of economic growth with exception of 1958-1959 when we had recession.
When we stopped the spending, our economy collapsed and we got the "great peanut depression."
The Reagan years had 50-55% spending from 1981-1990. During those years we had great economic growth and ended the Carter peanut depression. 2 years after the decrease in spending, we had a recession.

THis proves that military spending is acutally the saviour of an economy.

As a test use the GDP calculator, I put in 25% yestderday and my national budget was 340 billion. With 50% military spending my national budget was $350 billion. I boosted my econ 3% with that. Now what does it do to the economy? I guess I OWNED you.
25-03-2004, 05:59
Thank you for the history debate. I see facts can definately beat the opinion on anything more than 15% hurting economies when military spending goes to contractors and their employees, not to mention stock holders, and salaries go right to the people and into the economy. If I have little spending, then I collapse.
Doujin
25-03-2004, 06:04
Oh, and also.. I am backed up until 15-20 NS years before people get their ships from me.... that is how many orders I get.. and any shipbuilder knows that you cannot stock up million/billion dollar vessels (pre build them) before paying.. there isn't a signle company in the world that does it because it costs to much money.

As for the pre-ordering, the auto industry does it and I am doing it for expected demand. Shipbuilding is my top industry. My mil budget is actually over 200billion. I can afford alot.

And as far as the auto-industry goes.. they can pre-build because it doesn't cost much, and it is fast.. (You can't build a fucking military naval vessel on a production line..), but I am not gonna argue with you. If someone else wishes to point out your obvious flaws, thats fine.. until then I will ignore whatever purchases are made from you.
25-03-2004, 06:28
Fine, I don't buy space garbage. My ships are real unlike Doujin who godmodds capabilities. Funny when I just did it, my National Budget was higher by $3billion with 50% spending. Either way, these ships will eventually sell, so I do prebuild, The orders on popular items like Kilos, and Burkes flow in well.
Doujin
25-03-2004, 06:34
God mod capabilities, huh? And funny, if you kept up on modern naval warfare you would know that Trimaran Hulled vessels are being introduced into the worlds Navies.

Yes, but only in patrol boats or small frigates. Even the new DD-21 Zumwalt class won't be like that. It will have a similar Superstructure, but not similar hull.

Your Doujin is a godmodd.

DD-X, and it is going to have a tumblehome form, for -stealth-. It significantly reduces the radar cross section, since the slope returns a much less defined radar image rather than a hard-angled form. They discontinued the Zumwalt back in 2001, Homer.

And my "Doujin" has been gone over by a MARITIME DESIGN teacher, someone who actually knows things about naval vessels, unlike you obviously.

Edit: Oh, and I guess you missed the part where even Clan Smoke Jaguar said it was techincally feasible. :)

As for the Zumwalt, check the Navy's website, either you are right or the Navy is too lazy to change their web site (either can be possible) As for the Doujin, if your professor says it works, then fine, but the dimensions don't seem to meet the displacement. I could be wrong.

But back on topic, my ships are feasible and not a godmodd. What about the history point on national economies and military budgets? Do you give up on that point?

Confirmed little brother, knowing how psycho you are at home, i am not sure whether or not to do so, but I will.

The ships will be delivered in 1 NS year (tommorow)

Due to the fact that I don't give a damn anymore, and not going to waste my time to make sure what you babble on about is true (Although it might as well be, during both times the nation was at war.. you must have no army/navy/air force if you are spending this money on these ships in which you sell, at least that is what you are incinuating.)

Official Answer -> whatever

We were in the Cold War, and it ensured a strong economy. Ask an economics professor to explain the correlation of military spending and the strength of the economy. I have a small army, a good navy, and a AF with good strategies and a weapon no one else has bought the old F-4G Wild Weasel, even more valuable than a stealth bomber. I make a profit off my ships, so I do have a larger budget.

Besides, you ever hear of cheap union free immigrant labor?
Doujin
25-03-2004, 07:21
One thing, you do realize that you only make 10-15% profit if that on naval vessels? And cheap union free immigrant labor is of lower quality ;) I guarantee you, your Iowa Class vs my Mackensen Class would be shot to hell -.-
25-03-2004, 08:17
Yes because I am a younger nation, I am limited in my selection of ships to sell. The Iowa is a WWII ship. That is not a fair match Doujin.
25-03-2004, 08:18
The immigrants are skilled, but they are lowly paid. This is a job they would kill for in their origin countrys. They work harder than union employees for cheap prices.

That is basically what the Mackensen is, is an Iowa class.. just with a couple modernizations..
25-03-2004, 08:37
Mine has upgrades in radar, Sonar, and missiles, plus it is lengthened for an extra turret.
25-03-2004, 08:38
My ship has good modifications that can be added in today's world.
25-03-2004, 08:44
I think the ultimate ship here is Kirov. In 1 on 1 it would kill an AEGIS. The shipwreck missiles are good in damage caused and speed. Even a CIWS fails because when it finally blows up the missile, it is so close it does damage even if shot
25-03-2004, 08:55
Great ships. I will take 4 more Kilos
25-03-2004, 19:04
Confirmed. Kilos are leaving in 5 hours.
