I have been working on a first hit ship (CS-1) over the past few RL weeks, and it is nearing completion. It is expected to be ready to sell within the next two RL weeks.

This is the first of my custom ships of the "new fleet" class, and so it is still having some design difficulties.

The basic idea is that it is a stealthy ship with a shallow draft and catapillar propulsion (basically an underwater jet ingine). The CS-1 is designed to sneak into a harbor (not being detected until it is too late) and destroying warships with torpedoes, and protecting it's self with sea dart missiles.

The attack will only last 10 minutes, so larger vessles won't have the time to fire up theur ingines and give chase. Smaller vessles will be caught in an underwater minefield laid by the CS-1 upon it's escape.

In the event that a small warship were to somehow avoid the mines, it would take too long for it to come within firing range, and the CS-1 would outlast the vessel.

In the event that another vessel attempts to intercept the CS-1 ,it would be destroyed by torpedoes.

The only weakpoint of the CS-1 is large callibur shells, but even then the CS-1 has re-iforced hulls (steel beams(flolded 14 times), and the hulls themselves are made of steel that has been folded 21 times. The entire ship is coated with iron (5 cm. thick), to absorb some of the impact of any hits it may take.

Unfortunatly, the CS-1 takes over 2 years to complete (GMT), and so they are low on stock and somewat expensive. I can only sell reservations for 11 ships at this time. You may pay now or upon the rival, and the cost as of now is 1.3 billion USD. If you make a reservation, and the price drops before yourecive your ship, you will be refunded the difference.

We have done test of the CS-1 in certain developmental stages (scaled down 1/10), and it has been very sucessful, but we have realizes that it does need some improovments.

Have a nice day to you all!
