Beta Aurigae Space Corporation Future Tech Storefront

Are those raiders giving you trouble and you just can't find the right ship for your money? Well look no further, from fighters to flagships the BASC has just what you need. BTW be sure to read the read print below this meassage.

Note: All ships contained in this storefront can not be sold by anyone other than the BASC. NO exceptions. Also there are no pictures because got all of my ships from another online game called Space Federation Galactic Conquest, this is also why i can't let anyone else sell these ships i got special permission from the game creator. My shipyards are based in the Sol system but i can deliver up to 2 galaxies away.




Dreadnoughts

Super Class Planetary Dreadnought

Dimensions: 1000 meters X 300 meters X 150 meters
Propulsion: 6 BASC Molecular Fusion Engines
Speed: Top Speed 5,000 KPS
Cruising Speed 3,000 KPS
Weapons: 12 high yield long-range torpedo launchers
10 short-range torpedo launchers
20 50mm chainguns
5 rapid fire lasers
800 M-7 Interceptors
ECM, scanners, and reinforced hull

Description:
The Super Class Planetary Dreadnought is feared throughout the galaxy. Generally used as a heavy assault capital warship. It is massive in size. It has a new type of long range torpedoes. It uses the new prototype guns with enough firepower to take out a small fotila. This ship also uses a modified version of the rapid-fire lasers. Due to its larger size this ship can take time to get in range to fire it's guns. Also because of the complex designs, a lot of maintenance is required, and production of this ship takes a very long time.

Price: 300 Billion

Battleships

Kingdom Class Battleship

Dimensions: 810 meters X 200 meters X 101 meters
Propulsion: 3 BASC Molecular Fusion Engines
Speed: Top Speed 6,000 KPS
Cruising Speed 3,000 KPS
Weapons: 8 high yield long-range torpedo launchers
4 short-range torpedo launchers
2 proximity missle launchers
16 50mm chainguns
3 rapid fire lasers
250 M-7 Interceptors
ECM, scanners, and reinforced hull

Description:
The Battleship is the primary flagship of the Beta Aurigae VII fleet. It is armed with multiple rapid-fire lasers on each side provides cover-fire and proximity missiles which explode when a target is within range. Its hull is composed of advanced null composites, allowing it to deflect smaller ship fire. Using the same technological enhancement with hull engineering as the cruiser with the combined physics of angled hull reinforcements and the further protection of the engine by condensed space, it can take vastly more damage compared to the cruiser.

Price: 200 Billion

Cruisers

Empire Class Heavy Cruiser

Dimensions: 673 meters X 179 meters X 137 meters
Propulsion: 3 BASC Molecular Fusion Engines
Speed: Top Speed 6,000 KPS
Cruising Speed 2,500 KPS
Weapons: 6 high yield long-range torpedo launchers
4 short-range torpedo launchers
14 50mm chainguns
3 rapid fire lasers
2 high intensity plasma batteries
50 M-7 Interceptors
ECM, scanners, double reinforced hull, and active defense grid

Description:
The Cruiser is the second available flagship of Beta Aurigae VII. This ship is bigger than the Destroyer and is designed to take the point in starship defensive formations. Due to its role, it has huge technological enhancement with hull engineering, which enables it to take a pounding. This ship is the first Beta Aurigae ship to offer a doubly reinforced hull, and is frequently seen on the front lines providing support for frigates and the like. It has the same weaponry as the Destroyer, which includes multiple high-intensity Plasma batteries, each consisting of several plasma burst cannons and swarm missiles. However it was built to take a pounding and thus the plasma particle accelerators were removed lowering the overall output of the Plasma batteries and replace with an active defense grid that reinforces the hull even further, which enables it to take a pounding. The Cruiser represents the heart of the Beta Aurigae fleet.

Price: 80 Billion

Destroyers

Civilization Class Destroyer

Dimensions: 547 meters X 159 meters X 107 meters
Propulsion: 2 BASC Molecular Fusion Engines
Speed: Top Speed 5,300 KPS
Cruising Speed 2,700 KPS
Weapons: 6 high yield long-range torpedo launchers
4 short-range torpedo launchers
14 50mm chainguns
3 rapid fire lasers
2 high intensity plasma batteries
35 M-7 Interceptors
ECM, scanners, standard hull

Description:
The Destroyer is the first flagship for Beta Auriage VII. Its armaments include multiple high-intensity Plasma batteries and Swarm missiles. Each plasma battery consists of several plasma burst cannons powered by plasma particle accelerators, capable of firing long-range plasma beams that cut through most alloys at very high temperatures. The cannon forms a large bolt of hyperactive energy and plasma that explodes with the equivalent of a small thermonuclear blast causing significant damage via electrical fires or general hull damage. These Plasma Cannons have a longer range than most Beta Auriage weapons in the current arsenal. The secondary weapons of the Destroyer are Swarm missiles. Swarm missiles are design to take out smaller support ships fast. When fired, these look like your ordinary fusion missile, but then they break apart and blankets a large area with intense tetra shells. This is also called MIRV (Multiple Independent Warheads). These tetra shells rip apart smaller support ships that cruise right into them. The Destroyer is only moderately bigger than the frigate and sometimes is even mistaken for a large frigate, but with the guns come online it has more offensive capabilities than the Cruiser! However, with all the weapons it holds, the Destroyer does not focus on taking massive impact thus needs to be protected. The Destroyer is a formidable opponent in the frontline of war and can steer the course of outcome if used wisely.

Price: 100 Billion

Frigates

Emperor Class Frigate

Dimensions: 529 meters X 150 meters X 107 meters
Propulsion: 2 BASC Molecular Fusion Engines
Speed: Top Speed 7,000 KPS
Cruising Speed 3,000 KPS
Weapons: 4 high yield long-range torpedo launchers
3 short-range torpedo launchers
4 rapid fire lasers
ECM, scanners, special alloy hull

Description:
The Frigate is the second available support gunship created by Beta Aurigae VII to alleviate their ever-growing want of expansion. It contains 4 rapid fire lasers with the same configuration as the corvette, but the larger size of the Frigate enables it to hold laser regulators, which nearly doubles the range and the power of the ship. This ship has a stronger hull than the corvette as the synthesis of special metal with the ordinary alloy used to build ships is perfected. The use of this ship would makes the Fighter class ships pretty much useless, and currently replaces them in the Beta Aurigae main fleet.

Price: 75 Billion

Corvettes

Commander Class Light Corvette

Dimensions: 350 meters X 105 meters X 94 meters
Propulsion: 2 BASC Molecular Fusion Engines
Speed: Top Speed 7,500 KPS
Cruising Speed 4,000 KPS
Weapons: 3 high yield long-range torpedo launchers
2 short-range torpedo launchers
4 projectile lasers
ECM, scanners, special alloy hull

Description:
The Corvette is the first available support gunship made for the sole purpose of warfare by Beta Aurigae VII. It has largely replaced fighters as the main support ships used. It contains 4 projectile lasers, the first weapon system capable of firing lasers as a projectile rather than a beam by the way of sonic compression; two on each wing and two in front just under the cockpit. Utilizing advanced drive technology, the standard Corvette hull has been rebuilt for maximum speed, creating a full-fledged warship capable of running down bigger ships with enough support fire. This new ship can also take more damage compared to the fighter by the integration of a special alloy into its hull plating and engines, and is used by Beta Aurigae VII as escort ships along with frigates to accompany convoys and flagships.

Price: 50 Billion


(that's it for now but i have more ships on the way also when i update there will be fighters as well. also there are no production times on these ships as of yet because i have a surplus of them however when my surplus runs out building times will be posted.)

anyone who would buy these ships is a dumbass. You can get bigger, newer, more advanced, and overall better ships for less than half of the price of these.

NO.

Your ships are actually quite fine, no 'bigger is better' numberwank. (Though I would suggest increasing the speed from KPH to the same number... in KPS)

A bit expensive, though, that is true. But that depends entirely on your currency... (Which I would suggest adding, including exchange rate).

And yes, Mittwoch is... Errr... insignificant.

PS: Now, if you would use this ships in RP, rather than just selling them...

PPS: One more thing, I would suggest addign your location. Sol- only nations might be incapable of even knowing about you... Yet alone buying stuff.

ooc: I would love it if you take the size stats back to what they once were... better acceleration... But then, considering my intentions, better not... Oh, and a more specified position of your shipyards (Where in sol) would be nice...

PS: Britmattia was asked about this move beforehand, and agreed. About my capability to stage this, that is. It also includes a few minor details that have been worked out on irc.]

Britmattia

The complex was rather large, not to say, excessively large. And thusly, rather expensive. Inside of it, alone (His servants being elsewhere, as they were supposed to be in this moments), 'Lord' Wasser was composing the message, smiling.

This could prove to be... amusing.

He pressed a button... And the message was sent.

From: Lord Wasser, Private customer, Britmattia
To: Whom it may concern, Beta Aurigae VII, Sol- shipyards
Subject: Acquisition

"Greetings. For the entirety of my life, I have dreamt of owning my own, private spaceship.

Your shipyards seem to be capable of fulfilling this dream. Being of noble birth, and being blessed with quite a few... monetary ressources, I want to make this dream come true.

However... Your ships, being military vessels, would need to be refitted, and I would love to do this myself. Now, I wonder if it would be possible to buy not one of the cutting edge ships you have, but one of the older, about to be dismantled ones (though it would be the same class).

Refitting... Well, I could do this myself, thanks to the significant ressources I have at my disposal.

In any case, such versions of your Commander Class Light Corvette would be excellent, and fit the purpose. Of course, since I would basically only buy the... Well, hull, together with the engines and the most basic of controls, a significant cost reduction would be in order, I guess... And you would still make more money than with just throwing it away.

In any case, six corvettes, or rather, corvette hulls with engines and basic controls, for 5bn (ooc: US $, I guess?) each, would be my most intense wish.

Not to mention that I would probably be able to convince my (The Britmattian) Government that using your excellent services would be exactly what it needs.

Sincerely,

~ Lord Wasser

Another smile. I just hope they accept it... Would be a shame if they didn't.

To: Lord Wasser
From: Grigor Kobechev, CEO BASC
Subject: Acquisition

Lord Wasser we at BASC would be delighted to supply you with 6 ready to be decomissioned Commander Class Light Corvettes. The cost of 5 billion USD will be quite acceptable. Our shipyards are located in orbit of Jupiter. All refitting can be done at the shipyards unless you truly wish to do the modifications yourself. We at BASC believe that the customer should not be inconvenienced in any way so simply send the modifications to me via telegram and they will be completed here at the shipyards before delivery.

Britmattia

Wasser cursed a little. Now, that he actually had the ships he wanted, they replied... Not to mention that their location was... excellent, to say the least...

He felt a bit sorry, but business... Well, someone else had been faster.

With a shrug, he composed the (negative) answer, idly meditating the fact that this was in fact good for them, considering the things his superiors had in mind...

To bad they would never know it.

From: Lord Wasser, Britmattia
To: Grigor Kobechev, CEO BASC, Beta Aurigae VII
Subject: Acquisition

I'm very sorry, but apparently, someone else was faster... And though I do like the designs you have, the deal with said secondary choice has already been done.

Thusly, I must politely decline your offer.

Nonetheless, considering your excellent services, I'm more than willing in talking to some people with certain... Influence in the government, to make sure that they will consider your services.

Sincerely,

~ Lord Wasser

He pondered for a moment. Perhaps from two sides... But that was a stupid idea, and his budget wasn't able to support additional acquisitions, anyway.

"Well then.. Time to prepare our next journey." HGe said, to himself, since none of the 'servants' were in the room. He (And they) would have to be fast. The process was in motion, and unlikely to be stopped.

Do you have any of the ships have the capability of attacking a ground based target (our enemies are still based on solid ground).

Azus, yes the ships capable of attacking ground based targets from space are the Dreadnought, Battleship, and the Destroyer. All the other ships are also capable of assaulting ground based targets however they must enter the atmoshpere, thus leaving them susceptable to ground based weapons fire if your enemy is sufficiently advanced.

Hmm, riiight. Fair-use laws were amended so that only you could reference a game that makes use of CUSTOM-DESIGNED SHIPS anyway.

You're talking out your arse; anyone could sell these if they wanted to. But they're really not terribly worth the money, and you obviously made them up yourself.
