Welcome to the Imperial Praetonian Shipyards. We seek to offer you only the best in naval technology, for a reasonable price. Please keep in mind when shopping with the IPS that you should be courteous at all times and to spend within your means. We will refuse sale if we feel that you cannot afford what you wish to purchase, and we reserve the right to refuse any sale (although we are unlikely to do so without a very good reason). IPS prices are all in NationState (or US) Dollars ($) and we class one NS year to be one RL day. Economies are calculated using the thracetailteann GDP calculator (http://members.fortunecity.com/thracetailteann/html/gnp.html). Everything listed here is NS specific and therefore subject to NS and RL copyright law. All weights mentioned are fully loaded. Aircraft not included unless otherwise stated.

Imperial Praetonian Weaponry

Ballista VLS

The Ballista VLS system is the standard missile launch platform for ships built by the Imperial Praetonian shipyard. It comes in varying sizes and versions for different missiles and launch platforms, but each type acts basically in the same way. A single missile is stored inside each cell, (with a single reload stored below) which is held in ‘safe’ mode until the command is received to ‘fire’, at which point the missile is activated and control is automatically transferred to the appropriate systems. The upgraded Ballista VLS which is now included in all Praetonian ships and ships sold from this point on by IPS includes an electromagnetic assist launch system, capable of accelerating missiles to faster speeds in a shorter time. At least one version of it is capable of firing almost all RL and NS missiles, but the ones manufactured by the Imperial Praetonian Shipyards, and those in use with the Praetonian Navy, are as follows:

‘Lance’ Standard anti-Ship Missile

Length: 5.8m
Diameter: 32cm
Weight: 1,286kg
Speed: Mach 2.4 Supercruise, Mach 3.7 Terminal
Range: 268km
Warhead: 428kg High-Explosive Delayed/Contact Fuse
Guidance and Countermeasures: Missile remotely guided by ship radar; ‘Simplex’ Guidance radar for course adjustments, redundancy and ordinance avoidance; 'Biplex' IR Guidance System; 'Juniper' GPS Guidance System; ECCM (Electronic Counter Counter Measure) system.
Unit Cost: $1,350,000
Production Rights Cost: $320,000,000

The Lance missile carriers an explosive warhead larger than that of a Harpoon missile, a greater distance in a shorter time, but more importantly it carriers advanced electronics systems making the missile more accurate and less likely to be shot down by CIWS fire. This, of course, means a bigger price tag, but money will be saved in the long run as a ship that would previously required four Harpoon missiles to sink can be destroyed with only one or two Lance missiles. The upgraded Lance is equipped with a RAMjet engine, making the missile capable of much faster speeds, andtherefore making it much harder to shoot down.

‘Javelin’ Standard anti-Aircraft Missile

Length: 3.16m
Diameter: 21cm
Weight: 625kg
Speed: Mach 3.2 Supercruise, Mach 4.4 Terminal
Range: 128km
Warhead: 128kg High-Explosive Fragmentation
Guidance and Countermeasures: Missile remotely guided by ship radar; ‘Simplex’ Guidance radar for course adjustments and redundancy; 'Biplex' IR Guidance System
Unit Cost: $720,000
Production Rights Cost: $175,000,000

The Javelin anti-aircraft missile is designed to be able to destroy enemy aircraft before they can threaten the ship itself, or, if acting as an anti-air picket, the fleet it is with. Although the missile carries the same advanced guidance systems as the Lance anti-ship missile, today’s aircraft can move at speeds up to mach 2 and can carry advanced countermeasure systems and so a hit cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, the missile carries a large HE fragmentation warhead that can assure a kill on any aircraft within 100m. The new and upgraded Javelin missile features RAMjet technology, propelling the missile to immence speeds, increasing the likelyhood of a hit.

‘Pole-axe’ Standard Land Attack Missile

Length: 6.76m
Diameter: 55cm
Weight: 2,025kg
Speed: Mach 1.8 Supercruise, Mach 2.6 Terminal
Range: 1,800km
Warhead: 720kg High-Explosive
Guidance and Countermeasures: GPS Guided
Unit Cost: $850,000
Production Rights Cost: $220,000,000

The Pole-axe Land Attack Missile is based on the Tomahawk cruise missile, but carries a larger warhead at a faster speed. The missile is long ranged and powerful, but unsuited to ship combat dues to it’s relative slowness and lack of high accuracy and countermeasure avoidance systems needed to hit modern warships. Don’t get us wrong, the Pole-axe is great at what it does, just do try and make it do anything else.

‘Spear’ Standard anti-Ship / anti-Submarine Torpedo

Length: 7.54m
Diameter: 53.5cm
Weight: 2081kg
Speed: Mach 0.38
Range: 52km
Warhead: 624kg High-Explosive Shaped Charge
Guidance and Countermeasures: Missile remotely guided by ship sonar; DETAR Guidance sonar for course adjustments, redundancy and countermeasure detection; Acaustic Guidance advanced computer for countermeasure avoidance
Unit Cost: $2,000,000
Production Rights Cost: $400,000,000

The Spear torpedo is propelled by a gas turbine engine which gives it top-notch endurance at a high speed. This, coupled with advanced electronics and guidance hardware, makes this a hard torpedo to fool with countermeasures. Even if the torpedo does fail to hit it’s target, it’s large warhead will seriously damage any vessel within 150m. The upgraded Spear is supercavicating, leading to a high speed with no decrease in range.

‘Halberd’ anti-Battleship Missile

Length: 14.28m
Diameter: 98cm
Weight: 5,281kg
Speed: Mach 1.8 Supercruise, Mach 2.6 Terminal
Range: 386km
Warhead: 2,872kg High-Explosive Fragmentation
Guidance and Countermeasures: Missile remotely guided by ship radar; ‘Simplex’ Guidance radar for course adjustments, redundancy and countermeasure avoidance; advanced computer for countermeasure avoidance; ECCM systems
Unit Cost: $3,200,000
Production Rights Cost: $475,000,000

The huge Halberd anti-Battleship missile is our answer to the BBGs that shrug off Harpoons like small arms fire. The Halberd is big and expensive, but it gets the job done. It is equipped with the most powerful solid fuel engine we can fit into a missile and the most advanced countermeasure avoidance technology we have. However, the main difference between this and any other missile is its massive 2,872kg Penetrative Explosive warhead which forms a shaped charge on impact, channeling the full force of the explosion directly into the armoured plate. The Halberd is also the most expensive missile we have, but if you see it take down a multi-billion dollar battleship, I’m sure you’ll agree that it’s worth every penny. Even more so, the upgraded Halberd features RAMjet technology, making even this 5 ton behemoth faster than a Harpoon missile.

‘Discus’ anti-Missile Defense System

Length: 1.56m
Diameter: 16cm
Weight: 365kg
Speed: Mach 6.6 Hypercruise, Mach 7.5 Terminal
Range: 36km
Warhead: 86kg High-Explosive Fragmentation
Guidance and Countermeasures: Missile Internally Guided by 'Simplex MkIII' Internal Radar; Advance Computer Systems and Course Adjustment Hardware for Pinpoint Targetting
Unit Cost: $1,000,000
Production Rights Cost: $500,000,000

The small, incredibly fast Discus Missile was developed to provide a fleet-wide anti-missile defense system. With a powerful SCRAMjet assisted solid fuel rocket, advanced course adjustment and targetting systems and a small, powerful fragmentation warhead the Discus has an excellent chance of destroying even the most advanced of missiles.

‘Testudo’ CIWS

The Testudo Close In Weapon System is the obligatory ‘last ditch’ defense weapon. It is important to note that this is not a single weapon, but a system which consists of countermeasures, small missile launchers and, of course, a gun that fires inanely fast.

The countermeasures aspect of the Testudo system is the first line of missile defense. It includes decoy launchers and various ECM (Electronic CounterMeasure) systems, including radar jammers and guidance system scramblers. The former can destroy the capability of a missile to maneuver, and the latter can literally scramble the guidance system, resulting in fairly unpredictable effects which could knock the missile off course.

The piece of equipment that CIWS is famed for, however, is the gun. The Testudo gun does not disappoint, capable of firing 7,500 rounds of 30mm ammunition per minute, which is aimed and fired automatically by radar. The gun can work just as effectively against low flying planes and provides a good deterrent against low flying bombing raids.

Coupled with the gun is the Close In Missile System (CIMS), which consists of a battery of around sixteen missiles per Testudo gun. Each missile is only around fifty centimeters long, but contains all standard missile systems (solid fuel motor, on-board guidance etc) and a 15kg warhead. Although a much smaller number of missiles can be put out than shells, the missiles are guided and are therefore more likely to score a hit.

The upgraded Testudo system features uplink systems to any Discus missile systems the ship carries, and a link up to any Oberon Class Missile Defense Frigates in the fleet. This allows the Oberons to co-ordinate anti-missile efforts for the entire fleet, leading to a complex and integrated network of missile defense systems throughout the fleet, making for the best anti-missile systems available in the world.

The Jolt Class Trimeran Long Range Pursuit Destoryer is on the borderline between ‘destroyer’ and ‘light cruiser’. It is designed to patrol trade routes and hunt down fast enemy ships. It is designed to act either independently, in a small group, or to accompany a fleet before breaking off to hunt it’s prey. As such, the ship carries a large armament of anti-ship and anti-air missiles, as well as the Halberd anti-battleship missile, but does not have any torpedo tubes or depth charge launchers, replying solely on it’s helicopters for ASW work.

Running Costs: $35,000,000

The Insidious Class Electronics Warfare ship is the ultimate in specialist ships. It can carry out tasks that no other ship in most fleets (indeed in most navies) can do. It is carries standard Destroyer armament: small caliber naval gun, anti-air and anti-ship missiles, but these are merely there for defense and, more importantly, to make it look like a Standard Destroyer.

When deployed in an Electronics Warfare role, the ship can block enemy communication for miles, whilst hiding it’s only communication signals in the same carrier waves as the blocking signals. The ship can also flood almost every bandwidth with one dominant signal. Imagine the look on your enemy’s face as his vital reconnaissance report turns into your own National Anthem, or Propaganda, or whatever you want.

It is also capable of doing the reverse, overcoming enemy communication jammers, even without the enemy realizing, and again sending ‘enemy’ signals so perfect that they can be bounced off the enemy’s own satellites resulting in that reconnaissance report telling them what you want them know. No one will find out until the pilot returns to his carrier saying that his comms were blocked all along. Even that helps the enemy little, as they cannot then trust any of their radio intel reports and have to rely on word of mouth, and these are just some of this ship’s amazing capabilities.

So, if you want to throw an entire enemy fleet into disarray with firing a shot, the Insidious if for you.

The Phalanx Class SSBN is a large ICBM carrying ship. It carries little weaponry other that it’s main armament and even it’s speed is reduced compared to other submarines. This keeps the submarine as quiet as possible and leaves as much room as possible for it’s armament of ICBMs. The Phalanx Class can dive lower than any of our other subs and it is capable of launching it’s ICBMs from that depth. This combined makes for a ship specialized for it’s task, almost impossible to detect and destroy.

The Praebeo Class Replenishment ship is a capable fleet re-supply ship, able to carry Naval Fuel, Aviation Fuel, or in the Praetonian Navy’s case, Nuclear Fuel Rods. It is equipped with two fuel dispensers, one on each side, and is therefore able to re-fuel two ships at once. It is also re-fuel IPS built nuclear powered ships at sea, using a drone especially designed for the purpose. It can also be easily converted to a supply-only version, eliminating the fuel tanks in favour of more space for storing food, ammunition etc., which are transferred from ship to ship by the six replenishment helicopters the ship holds. The Trimeran design allows the ship to carry a larger amount of supplies for it’s size than non-trimeran ships, and also affords the ship a large amount of in-build protection.

Thankyou for taking an interest in our General Surface Battlegroup! The total cost of your order will come to $30bn, as although our nations are allies, we are unable to offer discounts on any of our naval products to anyone, because of the time, effort and expense that goes into producing them. However, the package that you are purchasing already has a significant discount, so I hope that this will not be a problem.

Again, thankyou for choosing IPS. I hope these ships serve your navy well and that you consider IPS in the future to fill your naval requirements.

We are afraid that we cannot offer alliance discounts, as the Imperial Praetonian Shipyards are not a political organisation, nor are we generally able to give additional discounts upon the (substatial) discounts you already receive. However, in your case we are willing to make an exception, as you spent a large amount of money with us. Therefore we have reduced your bill by $9.75bn to the total shown above.

I thank you for shopping with the IPS and hope that your ships serve your navy well. I hope also that you consider us again for future naval purchases.

Special request from Navy Command.

[code:1:afc070507c]
To: IPS
From: Navy Command (Celtayoshi)
MSG: We are currently looking to upgrade our Assault troop carrier ships, of which we have few and they are aging quickly. A special group has therefore been set up to find the best possible ships for transporting our army across the ocean and for landing them. We wish to know if you will be designing any such ships.[/code:1:afc070507c]

Celtayoshi:

We are, in fact, in the process of designing auxilliary vessels, for resupply and landing. Several designs are on the table and as yet nothing as been finalised. Therefore, I would like to enquire as to whether you have an specific requirements or requests for a landing ship you would purchase (eg. maximum capacity, amphibiuous capablility etc.). Thankyou for showing an interest in our upcoming products, and we hope that when they are released for general sale you will consider them for your navy.

We would like to work out a custom deal with the ISP.

We are looking to buy two fleets optmised for defense, and three fleets for offensive purposes.

We are wondering if you create a custom package for us.

We are also discussing a deal with the new Empire of Layarteb (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=135462&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=100) for a similar deal. The contract will be awarded to whoever presents the best package at the best price.

Feel free to ask any questions.

We are interested in this proposal, we will put together a proposal that should be ready soon. Bear in mind that our NS exclusie ships are generally better quality than RL ships, although all of the technology used is realistic.

Defense Fleet Proposal

1 Behemoth Class Nuclear Carrier
1 Omega Class Trimeran Battleship
3 Alpha Class Trimeran Cruiser
2 Jolt Class Trimeran Long Range Pursuit
10 Cassius Class Trimeran Destroyer
6 Dauntless Class Trimeran ASW Frigate

1 Insidious Class Electronics Warfare Destroyer
2 Legionary Class Minesweeper
4 Portland Class Nuclear Attack Submarine

Running Costs: $2.064bn per annum
Total Cost per Fleet: $50bn (saving of $6.17bn)

This fleet combines the considerable anti-surface prowess of the Omega Class Battleship, Alpha Class Cruiser and Tempest Class Carrier with the defensive prowess of the Dauntless Class ASW frigate, Earl Class Antiair defense system and the fleet wide missile defense provided by the Oberon Class.

Offense Fleet Proposal

1 Behemoth Class Nuclear Carrier
2 Tempest Class Nuclear Carrier
2 Omega Class Trimeran Battleship
4 Alpha Class Trimeran Cruiser
2 Trebuchet Class Trimeran Land Attack Cruiser
12 Cassius Class Trimeran Destroyer

8 Earl Class Trimeran Air Defense Frigate
4 Oberon Class Trimeran Missile Defense Frigate
1 Insidious Class Electronics Warfare Destroyer
5 Legionary Class Minesweeper

2 Praebeo Class Trimeran Fleet Replenisher
2 Storm Class Trimeran Hovercraft Carrier

Running Costs: $3.086bn per annum
Total Cost per Fleet: $80bn (saving of $7.075bn)

A fearsome strike group, capable of dominating any surface battle with it's huge flightgroup and escort support, as well as being able to conduct a forced landing. The considerable power of the battleships and cruisers makes this a fleet that can take on even the biggest of surface combatants.

I hope that you are pleased with our designs and group proposals, and that you will consider purchasing them, or any of our other products.

The Omega Class can be so modified, although it would be difficult and somewhat expensive. The best time to make the changes would be in the plans, so if you wish we will construct your Omega Class with 9x 22" for no additional charge.

As you are a young, developing nation, weare willing to offer you the production rights to said boat for a special (heavily) discounted price of $50m, which can be paid over 5 years with no interest. I hope that you are pleased with this arangement and that you consider IPS again in the future.

I am considering your carriers.

That is good to hear. They are excellent quality ships, the Tempest Class outclassing the Nimitz Classes that so many nations use, and the Behemoth Class being a match for all but the largest non-RL carriers.

I might have to wait a year though (1 RL week).

Say do you have anything that can carry up to say 500 planes?

Not one single vessel, as such a vessel would be ridiculously large, expensive, unmaneuverable and would be a horribly easy target for pretty much anything. You can, however, buy 3 Behemoth Class carriers, for a total of 435 aircraft (standard war complement, not max load and excluding helicopters), or 4 Behemoth Classes for a total of 580 aircraft (same circumstances as with the previous proposal).

Well, you are right about it being slow and a big target.

Also the inertia such a vessel would build up would mean that even going at speeds of say 20knts the engines would have to be put into reverse 10s or even 100s of miles away from a port (which would have to be specially built and designed) in order to stop, and it would be so deep bottomed that it wouldnt be able to go anywhere near a coast.

OOC: As you can see, Im not a believe in the effectiveness of massive ships.

IC: We graciously thank the government of Austar Union for choosing to make such a huge purchase with us. To show our thanks, we are extending to you a 10% discount on all future purchases.

As this is such a large order it will take time to fill, even with your factories assisting. However we should be able to keep this time under 15 years. Do you think this is a reasonabloe amount of time considering the facilities available (we do not, as yet, have a large amount of information on your manufacturing capabilities).

Again thank you for placing this order. I hope that your ships serve your navy well and that you consider us again in the future, noting esspecially our range of missiles.

How do you edit / delete you own posts that were made before the Jolt move?

[OOC: It doesn't seem to be possible to edit our pre-move posts. It also seems to disallow editing after a certain time in I.I., though I'm able to edit in other forums I post in.]

Yes I know that now and it's very unfortunate. You only get 15 mins. There was a protest on the Technical board last time I looked.

OOC: The Austar Union has one of the largest arms manufacturing sectors out of nations its size. In fact, all of its industry sectors tend to dominate the charts as being one of the most powerful in the globe. But that would be a very fair estimate, considering the size of the order :) I would expect however that your company wouldnt be taking many more orders for 15 years lol :S

Yes I know that now and it's very unfortunate. You only get 15 mins. There was a protest on the Technical board last time I looked.

Apparently, the protest was heard loud and clear. We can now edit our previous posts. I just edited my first Wilmington Shipyard Corp post to include the research submarine. Before that, I wasn't able to edit it.

We thank both Migaria and The -SAJ- for placing their orders, however, due to a huge order recently placed by the Austar Union, we will not be able to begin construction for approximately 10 years (OOC: 10 real life days). If either of your nations are in desperate need of these ships (OOC: ie you're at war or something) we are able to complete the order sooner but at an additional cost.

I hope your ships serve your navies well and that you choose IPS again in future (preferably when we arent so busy :) ).

Our nation has saved up money from money we have not used and or bank account now has totaled over 1.2 trillion dollars. So that being said I am looking to start a large fleet. I would like to get a custom fleet made so that i may help our Ally in its time of need. If you could make sure that the custom fleet wil be able to fit nicely in my budget, in the terms of keeping it running.

President Scott L.C.
The Armed Republic of Scoyle

OOC: What are you requirements? I can make a 'general pupose' fleet that can do anything, but a specialised fleet will always perform better in it's specialist role. Are you looking at supporting invasions, defence of your territorial waters or do you want a fleet to fight majorsurface engaements on the high seas?

(Before the post, I'd like to note I joined in April of last year but got ressurected, so yes, I do have enough resources for the purchase)

Praetonia, I would like to employ you to build up a massive navy for my nation, and I can assure you that I'll give you a bonus totalling to 5% of the ships cost. My only requirements is that I'm looking for a big navy, several battlegroups, etc. I will check it over after you list your suggestions for me, so I will not be going in completely blind.

Danke and have a nice day!

Mike Rein
Dictator of Kamata

We shall not be able to fill your order for some time [OOC: Around 12 days, because Austar Union just purchased a navy worth $2.8 trillion) as our shipyards and factories are tied up. However, we shall put together a proposal for you to review. I hope that this is acceptable.

I hav already gotten a new fleet ordered since the it will take 12 days just to start my order. Although any future purchases that I make will go throught you.

OOC: Fair enough. May I ask who (just out of interest)?

Kamata, I may be able to start your order soon if you have shipyards of your own where IPS can construct your ships.

I have three shipyards on my west coast and one on my east coast. Each capable of building 9 regular-sized battleships and subs, and two aircraft-carrier sized ships. You'd be more than welcome to send over crews to begin work on it.

Also, do I get a custom paintjob? :) And depending on what you offer, I may need some catapults and landing pads made custom.

N-g

Scoyle: Huh?

Kamata: That would be fine. We can give your ships any paintjob you want. We are able to offer custom catapults and landingpads, but can we ask why you keep them?

1 Carrier battle group... 26 bn
1 General Surface battle group.. 30bn
1 Assault battle group... 32 bn
2 Destroyer Squadrons... 14 bn

Total....102 bn (money is wired with this order)

We appreciate the chance to purcahse our Naval armaments from you.
please send telegram to me if possible to confirm the order or to deny it.

Thank You

Your order is confirmed. However, our shipyards are currently full trying to cope with a massive order for an entire navy. Do you have any shipyard facilities in your nation to which IPS staff could be sent to carry out the work?

Thankyou for choosing Imperial Praetonian Shipyards. I hope your ships serve your navy well and that you consider us again in the future.

I am not sure ho to spell it.

Ah yes I know the one.

The Incorporated Sarzonian Navy has evaluated the state of our navy and, while we are immensely pleased with the ships in our employ, we also feel we need to bolster our ranks of Trimarian-hulled vessels. To meet this objective, we would like to place the following order:

2 Carrier Battlegroups ($26 billion each; $52 billion total)

2 General Surface Battlegroups ($30 billion each; $60 billion total)

2 Assault Battlegroups ($32 billion each; $64 billion total)

Monies shall be wired upon the confirmation of this order.

We have noted that your shipyards are facing a massive backlog due to an enormous order. Our shipyards that aren't dedicated to the construction of ships for the Wilmington Shipyard Corporation have been cleared by the Navy Command and Vice President for Defense Terrence Wilson to help ease the immense burden on your shipyards if you so wish.

We look forward to a continued positive relationship with Praetonia and hope that our friendship remains ever firm.

I would like to start building up my Naval reserves. Just in case an international incident happened. Is there anything a small Nation like mine can afford. We are a hard working people and I will be prepared to trade an resources like oil from which we have plenty but have no means to mine.

We thank you for offering us shipyard facilities and we gladly accept the help of an ally. We are currently undergoing a massive expansion program due to the unexpected level of popularity that IPS has seems to have reached.

We confirm your order for:

Two Carrier Battlegroups, two General Surface Battlegroups and two Assault Battlegroups. I hope your ships serve your navy well and that you consider us again in the future as contractors for Trimaran (or in the Praetonian spelling Trimeran) ships.

As a side note, to you and all other customers of IPS, factoring in the substantial new facilities that will come online in 1 1/2 NS years, all orders should be completed within 7 NS years.

Fridgedum, a Destroyer Squadron would provide excellent defencive capablilities at an affordable price. It includes six of our Cassius Class Destroyers, which are very powerful in combat due to their anti-air and anti-ship missile systems. They are also equipped with anti-submarine warfare helicopters and torpedo tubes. The squadron is led by a Griffin Class Light Cruiser which provides a larger missile armament, a big gun armament and is also armoured against anti-ship missiles. The package costs $7bn, which we are willing to allow you to pay over a period of 7 years with no interest. I hope you find this deal acceptable.

Assault Fleet

1 Behemoth Class Nuclear Super Carrier
1 Omega Class Trimeran Battleship
4 Trebuchet Class Trimeran Land-Bombardment Cruiser
2 Griffin Class Trimeran Light Cruiser
6 Cassius Class Trimeran Destroyer
4 Dauntless Class Trimeran ASW Frigates
6 Earl Class Trimeran AA Frigates
2 Oberon Class Trimeran Missile Defense Frigates
6 Legionary Class Minesweepers
4 Storm Class Trimeran Hovercraft Carrier

This fleet has considerable land-bombardment capability provided by the capital ships and can assault fortified beaches with the Storm Class Hovercraft Carriers. The escort force (destroyers and frigates) is strong enough to defend the fleet from attack, especially when combined with the might of the battleship, but they are not designed to hold their own in a major surface engagement. That is not the fleet’s role.

Cost per Fleet: $45.11bn

Surface Combat Fleet

1 Behemoth Class Nuclear Super Carrier
1 Tempest Class Nuclear Carrier
2 Omega Class Trimeran Battleships
4 Alpha Class Trimeran Heavy Cruisers
2 Griffin Class Trimeran Light Cruisers
8 Cassius Class Destroyers
6 Dauntless Class Trimeran ASW Frigates
6 Earl Class Trimeran AA Frigates
2 Oberon Class Trimeran Missile Defense Frigates
6 Legionary Class Minesweepers

This fleet is designed to fight a major surface confrontation. It contains multiple capital ships designed for ship to ship fighting and a substantial number of escorts. This is a powerful fleet for attacking the fleets of others.

Cost per Fleet: $57.51bn

Defensive Fleet

1 Omega Class Trimeran Battleship
2 Alpha Class Trimeran Heavy Cruisers
4 Griffin Class Trimeran Light Cruisers
4 Jolt Class Trimeran Long Range Pursuit Destroyers
12 Cassius Class Trimeran Destroyers
8 Dauntless Class Trimeran ASW Frigates
8 Earl Class Trimeran AA Frigates
4 Oberon Class Trimeran Missile Defense Frigates

This fleet is designed to protect your mainland. It has a fairly small number of capital ships, but still a powerful enough presence to take down a battleship. The fleet relies more on escorts which are able to missile troop transports and enemy escorts to easily destroy them.

Cost per Fleet: $51.8bn

Submarine Flotilla

8 Portland Class Nuclear Attack Submarine
2 Tiberius Class Land Attack Submarine

This is a standard submarine flotilla able to conduct operations against enemy shipping or enemy on-shore targets. We are also able to provide submarines to house ICBMs.

Cost per Flotilla: $16.7bn

These are the fleets we have designed for your navy. Depending on how much money you wish to spend we can provide any number of these fleets. Once you have chosen how many fleets you wish to purchase, we will recommend a number of Praebeo Class Fleet Replenishers you will need to keep your ships fully stocked with provisions and ammunition.

I have been authorized by or senate to spend 50 bn dolloars on a Naval Fleet. I would like one that uses up the 50 bn dollars.

We suggest that you purchase a single of each of these groups:

General Surface Battlegroup

1 Tempest Class Nuclear Carrier
2 Alpha Class Trimeran Heavy Cruiser
2 Trebuchet Class Trimeran Shore-Bombardment Cruiser
1 Jolt Class Trimeran Long Range Pursuit Destroyer
5 Cassius Class Trimeran Destroyers
5 Dauntless Class Trimeran ASW Frigates
5 Earl Class Trimeran AA Frigates
1 Insidious Class Electronics Warfare Destroyer
5 Legionary Class Minesweepers

Running Costs: 1.281bn per year
$30bn (saving $5.575bn)

Cruiser Surface Squadron

3 Alpha Class Trimeran Heavy Cruisers
1 Jolt Class Trimeran Long Range Pursuit Destroyer
1 Cassius Class Trimeran Destroyer
2 Dauntless Class Trimeran ASW Frigate
2 Earl Class Trimeran AA Frigates
5 Legionary Class Minesweepers

Running Costs: 0.439bn
$12bn (saving $1.975bn)

Destroyer Squadron

1 Griffin Class Trimeran Light Cruiser
6 Cassius Class Trimeran Destroyers

Running Costs: 0.302bn
$7bn (saving $600m)

This comes to $49bn. If you really want to spend all $50bn, then a good option would be to purchase a powerful Cassius Class Trimeran Destroyer for $1bn.

I hope that your ships serve your navy well and that you consider us again in future for your naval warship requirments.

Alright agree'd. My old navy will fail in camparison to this, and please, use my shipyards.

Greetings, I've browsed through your inventory, and I'm immensely impressed. Not only this, but I've got a large Military budget (I'm willing to spend 3 Trillion, and thanks for that link to the GNP calculator!) and I'm interested in buying the rights to your ships, and missiles. How much would that cost overall?

Than you for the conformation of our order. We do agree that it is a lot of ships,but we do need them to protect our coast and in case of any disputes that we maybe involved in.

As for use of our ship yard useage,feel free to use them at anytime that you need to use them,just telegram me to let me know.

We are unable to offer production rights on any but the smallest of our ships. However, production rights for all of our missiles will cost you $2.14bn. For the $3trillion you have to spend you can buy yourself a large navy, so we suggest that your money would be better spent doing that. For entire navy purchases we recommend that you buy a combination of these groups, however the groups can be modified to meet your needs:

Assault Fleet

1 Behemoth Class Nuclear Super Carrier
1 Omega Class Trimeran Battleship
4 Trebuchet Class Trimeran Land-Bombardment Cruiser
2 Griffin Class Trimeran Light Cruiser
6 Cassius Class Trimeran Destroyer

Cost per Flotilla: $16.7bn

However, you may buy any combination of any of our other groups and ships you wish, these are only here to make it easier.


OfLower Urban Gorrilas:

We were not critising your choise, merely pointing out that large numbers of ships will invariably take a long time to build. We are currently building a huge IPS shipyard complex in our colony, Neo Praetonia, in Manium. This will speed up orders hugely, although your offer of assistance is greatly appreciated.

Prateonia: I've noticed that you've been recently struggling to fill all of the orders, let alone build them. Since you were so nice and kind in filling my order, I'd like to make you an offer. I have an island that makes for prime shipmaking. It's one of the mid-sized islands (Should be able to house lot of people), and there are fantastic beaches and cliffs for shipmaking facilities. I would be willing to rent you this island, and fit it out with you with houses, stores, office buildings, shipyards, etc... for a one-time fee of $5 billion dollars, and a $1 billion dollar rental yearly. That's supplying electricity, gas, paying for filters, etc. There's potentially enough room on the island to build well over 100 smaller ships, 50 subs, and 20 aircraft carriers, and since the hovercraft don't require the ocean to build it on, well over 500 hovercraft. That's all at one time!

I'm not trying to sell you anything or make money off of this, I'm just trying to be a good friend and help you out with filling your orders. ^_^ Please remember this is completely up to you and if you say no, I won't pester you into it.

Okay then Praetonia, I'd like to purchase 3x of every fleet, that should come to about 512 billion. Am I correct?

Kamata: Your offer is very kind. However, would it be possible for use to pay a one-off fee of $80bn and import our own supplies, as there is already massive infrastructure in place for such things.

Outer Heaven MK II: The total come out at slightly more, but we shall only charge $512bn for simplicity. Thankyou for choosing Imperial Praetonian Shipyards for your naval contracts. Your ships should be complete within 20NS days due to the massive expansions in progress at the Feletori IPS headquarters, in our colony, Neo Praetonia and now on the island kindly offered to us by Kamata.

That sounds just as good to me. Alright, it's a deal.

Thank you Praetonia, but may we suggest something? My nation is a post-modern tech-future (space) tech, and so, we do things weirdly. We have shipyards in orbit above our Nation, and building your ships up there would guarantee two things:

1. That it'll be easier to build your ships
2. That the shipyards are 100% private and protected. There's virtually no chance of any ist attacks on them, or whatever.

I'm willing to offer these shipyards for your usage at 2 Billion Solid Snakes a year ($10 = $/$ 1).

We hope you make splendid use of our facilities (if you decide to that is!).

Many thanks Praetonia,
Liquidus Snake,
Leader of Outer Heaven MK II

OOC: Im not sure, it's a tempting offer, but I am a compltely modern tech nation, and so may be accused of godmodding. Also, how would i get something like a 130,000 tonne battleship back down to Earth?

The same way we get the materials we need down. We have very durable shuttles that are used to mine the Asteroid Belt seperating Jupiter from Mars (and the rocks are heavy!), and they usually dock with the Shipyards and transfer the rocks there. However, we could re-make them for atmospheric flight, and so one modified mining shuttle should be able to take it back to Earth, that or we just drop it down to earth and see what happens ;)

Think about it.

However, if it would be possible we would like to have your shipyards in reserve, in case demand exceeds production capacity once again.

Total is 292,500,000,000 USD, to be wired upon order confirmation.

Also, a question. The airwing is not provided, correct?

However the carriers can fly practically any carrier based plane. Thankyou for choosing Imperial Praetonian Shipyards and I hope you consider us again in future for your naval contracts.

3 each of your packages and 5 Freedom Class Trimaran Super Dreadnaughts, please.

All confirmed except for the super dreadnaughts. Your order will come to a total of $200.25bn. My government hopes that with the signing of this deal both of our nations can put the near past behind us and look forward to bright and warmongering-free future. Perhaps in time our governments will rebuild trust and we will be authorised to sell you Freedom Class Super Dreadnaughts.

Thank you, yes I hope we can put the past behind us, in fact all who were invovled with the civil war, EXCEPT Sarzonia.

OOC: What did Sarzonia do that was worse?

Right, Sarzonia has constatly bombarded me, on the ESUS site, with post saying: "He's at war with me don't let him in.", "He nukes nations" and worst of all he said I was at war with the ESUS. Now I don't know where THAT came from. Also, I'm still hellbent on his destruction. His time shall come.

What we need is two slava class cruisers, with nuclear power instead of gas turbines, updated weapons systems.
Eight Sparviero Class hydrofoils, updated engine systems, udated weapons systems.
Ten Tarawa Class to carry ten (2xwarrior APC carrying) Hovercrafts, nuclear powered, updated weapons system, flight deck to be used for storing hovercrafts.
Twelve Haruna Class, helicopter destroyers, Updated deisel turbines, updated weapons system, Latest SAMs

OOC:

1) He's ignored you.

2) You did constantly nuke and attack him.

3) I havent got a clue about ESUS because Im modern tech only.

But you've answered and I dont want to discuss this here. Thanks.

Any chance on super dreds in the near future?

It depends on how your nation acts in the near future. No more wars with Sarzonia.

No chance, he ignores me. Can I defend myself I am the subject of a decleration of war? Can I proceed to invade his nation if I can?

No, nothing I sell you can be used against Sarzonia.

Or any of your allies I guess? And the war and invasion thing was about anyone in the NS universe...

Yes, yes. Just not against me, Sarzonia, Camewot, Morathania... maybe some others I cant remember...

However, we are willing to help new nations, and so if you cut down your order to one carrier battlegroup or a cruiser squadron then we would be willing to assist you with the payments.

Scoyle:

Your total proposed order is as follows:

2x Defensive Fleet

1 Omega Class Trimeran Battleship
2 Alpha Class Trimeran Heavy Cruisers
4 Griffin Class Trimeran Light Cruisers
4 Jolt Class Trimeran Long Range Pursuit Destroyers
12 Cassius Class Trimeran Destroyers
8 Dauntless Class Trimeran ASW Frigates
8 Earl Class Trimeran AA Frigates
4 Oberon Class Trimeran Missile Defense Frigates

This fleet is designed to protect your mainland. It has a fairly small number of capital ships, but still a powerful enough presence to take down a battleship. The fleet relies more on escorts which are able to missile troop transports and enemy escorts to easily destroy them.

Cost per Fleet: $51.8bn

1x Surface Combat Fleet

1 Behemoth Class Nuclear Super Carrier
1 Tempest Class Nuclear Carrier
2 Omega Class Trimeran Battleships
4 Alpha Class Trimeran Heavy Cruisers
2 Griffin Class Trimeran Light Cruisers
8 Cassius Class Destroyers
6 Dauntless Class Trimeran ASW Frigates
6 Earl Class Trimeran AA Frigates
2 Oberon Class Trimeran Missile Defense Frigates
6 Legionary Class Minesweepers

This fleet is designed to fight a major surface confrontation. It contains multiple capital ships designed for ship to ship fighting and a substantial number of escorts. This is a powerful fleet for attacking the fleets of others.

Cost per Fleet: $57.51bn

1x Assault Fleet

1 Behemoth Class Nuclear Super Carrier
1 Omega Class Trimeran Battleship
4 Trebuchet Class Trimeran Land-Bombardment Cruiser
2 Griffin Class Trimeran Light Cruiser
6 Cassius Class Trimeran Destroyer
4 Dauntless Class Trimeran ASW Frigates
6 Earl Class Trimeran AA Frigates
2 Oberon Class Trimeran Missile Defense Frigates
6 Legionary Class Minesweepers
4 Storm Class Trimeran Hovercraft Carrier

This fleet has considerable land-bombardment capability provided by the capital ships and can assault fortified beaches with the Storm Class Hovercraft Carriers. The escort force (destroyers and frigates) is strong enough to defend the fleet from attack, especially when combined with the might of the battleship, but they are not designed to hold their own in a major surface engagement. That is not the fleet’s role.

Cost per Fleet: $45.11bn

3x Bombardment Fleet

1 Behemoth Class Nuclear Super Carrier
2 Omega Class Trimeran Battleship
6 Trebuchet Class Trimeran Land-Bombardment Cruiser
4 Cassius Class Trimeran Destroyer
4 Dauntless Class Trimeran ASW Frigates
4 Earl Class Trimeran AA Frigates
2 Oberon Class Trimeran Missile Defense Frigates
6 Legionary Class Minesweepers

This fleet contains a significant number of capital ships and land-bombardment cruisers to pound enemy positions. It also includes a carrier to fly longer ranged missions against fortified enemy positions and defend the fleet agains air attack. The fleet also contains minesweepers to allow it to approach a mined coast and a small number of escorts to protect the capital ships.

Cost per Fleet: $35bn

As for the secret transport group we would like you to be a little more specific. Do you mean for small platoon level special ops insertions or larger troops movements. Also do you want this fleet to be able to travel long distances or not? When these questions are answered we will be able to go ahead with this section of the order and it may co-incide with the release of a new special-ops insertion WiG craft.

Your total proposed order comes to $311.22bn, a price heavily discounted compared to the invidual purchase price. I hope that your ships will serve your navy well and that you consider us in future for your naval requirements.

Office of the Director-General
Imperial Praetonian Shipyards

We understand this limit which you speak of, but we are heading the construction of a joint military for our region, and must have all of the ships which we ordered. The ships will be evenly distributed between 5 nations. Please understand that we have no intentions of retaining all of the fine vessels we wish to purchase, but are acting with the approval and consent of the region Trigger Happy.

-Gen. Com. Camuel Sabre (ret.)
Ministry of War, FOE.

Using this (http://www.thirdgeek.com/nseconomy.php?region=Trigger_happy) GDP calculator (which takes info on defence budgets from your NS profiles) I have calculated your total combined defence budgets to be $12,756,780,490. The price of even one of the battlegroups that you are attempting to buy is approximately 3 times that. Therefore we are unable to process your order as we doubt your ability to pay for it.

Office of the Director-General

Praetonia

Very well, then, Praetonia, we will do our business elsewhere.

OOC: Please dont take this offensively, I are not attempting to prevent you from purchasing merely for the sake of it, but because you cannot afford or afford to support such a huge navy. If you were to buy what you asked for, your fleet would almost rival mine, where you have 12,000,000 people and a strong economy, and I have 760,000,000 people and an All-Consuming economy. I hope you understand.
