Fezanthia, how are you able to afford a 28 kilometer long craft? Or even a ten kilometer long craft?

*sighs*

CF, its like how you own a 10-km vessel...

I don't own a 10 km vessel. (Unless you count the obviously OOC Overcompensation class battlepenis.)

My largest real vessels are 5 kilometers long, and I can only have a few of those leviathians. Plus, Fezanthia is less than half of my size.

Well, why don't you? Most space nations have ships that are well over 10 km. I've never been in a war, so therefore I've been hording resources and never lost any ships. Besides, I've only got on Bec Corbin and three Hurricanes.

The point is not to godmod/powergame. I'm a June nation and I only have 1 vessel that is over 10 kilometers long...

You're basically bankrupting your nation by having such a massive vessel, unless of course its made of cardboard :roll: ...

Well, this is why I made the topic, now isn't it? To get feedback. So, I'll edit the suckers.

Sure... Be careful, space/future tech walks a very thin line between acceptable and godmodding/powergaming/numberwanking... The majority of future/space tech RPs fall apart because people don't agree about numbers, technology, size, etc...

87,000 crew for an 8000m ship seems very inefficient. Are you using older technology to drive price down?

Oh? Then how much crew do you think I should put on it? Like I said, I'm fairly new at this.

Well, some nations simply do not upgrade, or have older fleets, thus their crew size is a direct reflection. Finnultia maxamizes use of space by using computers (which could virtually run the ship without any crew). So instead of a massive crew, HEF ships are able to carry more vehicles or landing troops. The drawback: more expensive building cost, but in the long run it pays off. The following has been configured for a strike mission (more fighters).
