The Klonor Ship Store, renowned throughout Space NS as a source of quality ships for relatively low prices, has hit a bit of a wall. The capital ships sold, while of excellent quality and great price value, cost billions upon billions and require crews numbering in the thousands. While this is no real impediment for large nations with limitless resources, it is the small nations that most require purchased ships. Larger nations construct their own vessels, they have the technology and resources. Smaller nations wish to purchase, due to their lack of materials to construct the vessels, their lack of technology to equip the vessels, and the lack of facilities to build the vessels. However, how can they purchase and use quality ships if the cost of one is more than a years budget, and the crew numbers half their population? The price of a ship cannot merely be lowered for the small nations, since then the payment wouldn't cover the costs of building the ships, and the problem of crewing the ship still exists. So, what to do? You can't change the price, so change the ship. We, the owners of the Klonor Ship Store, would like to present to you the latest ships, designed for purchase and use by those young nations who just need a good start.

Name: Pulse Laser
Description: A rapid-fire, low energy, krypton laser; used in tactical situations to distract or lead an enemy to their destruction at the hands of other, more powerful weapons. This weapon, if used over an extended period of in-flight battle, can destroy an enemy vessel, but, as a destructive weapon, should only be used as a last resort.
Price: 1,860

http://www2.freepichosting.com/Images/132612/18.jpg

-

Name: Beam Laser
Description: A laser-based weapon focused via transparent ceramic optics; the initial shots gauge the hull material of the enemy vessel and shift the phase of the laser to more effectively penetrate the hull. A durable, portable, and highly destructive offensive tool.
Price: 11,625

http://www2.freepichosting.com/Images/132612/17.jpg

Price: 32,550

http://www2.freepichosting.com/Images/132612/23.jpg

Name: Energy Shield

Price: 4,650

http://www2.freepichosting.com/Images/132612/15.jpg

-

Name: Reflective Shields

Price: 18,600

http://www2.freepichosting.com/Images/132612/16.jpg

Escape Pod
Description: A simply device, it can hold up to two people as they flee the destruction of a ship. Equipped with a small thruster system it is capable of reaching nearby worlds, but nothing beyond a few thousand miles. Essential to have on any ship, it is often all that stands between life and dying a slow death on a cripple vessel.
Price: 2,000

5 Extra Cargo Bays
Descritpion: An additional 5 containers added onto the side of the ship, increasing the amount of cargo that can be held
Price: 2,325

http://www2.freepichosting.com/Images/132612/13.jpg

Price: 6,975

http://www2.freepichosting.com/Images/132612/24.jpg

-

Price: 13,950

http://www2.freepichosting.com/Images/132612/26.jpg

Price: 23,250

http://www2.freepichosting.com/Images/132612/25.jpg

-

Cloaking System
Description: Not a visual cloak, this system projects force fields around the ship which give it a more round and rugged sensor outline, similar to that of an asteroid or other stellar body. Sensors often mistake the ship for an asteroid. Not extremely effective.
Price: 93,000

http://www2.freepichosting.com/Images/132612/27.jpg

Each Cargo Bay can hold approximately one ton of lead. This is due to the physical size of the metal, not it's weight. It can hold the equivelant in any other material.

The ships use a complex Warp Drive FTL system (Not the warp used in Star Trek) to teleport instantaneously from star system to star system. However, their Warps use up much fuel and they are limited in distance (the distance for each ship is listed in its description).

Upon purchase each ship is equipped with a simple Pulse Laser in one weapon slot (if available), with the rest of its weapon, shield, and gadget slots empty and available for use. Equipment can be purchased to be used in each slot to improve upon the performance of the ship.

The number of crew quarters is the number of surplus quarters, quarters in addition to the lodgings of people required to run the ship. Theoretically, each ship can be run with only one person. Unfortunately, with only one person to both fly, shoot, repair, load cargo, etc. the ships do not perform extremely well. However, the extra quarters allow more people to board the craft and take over additional tasks, increasing the performance of the ship.

The rating of the hull strength is relative to inches of collapsed-core molybdenum. Each increase of 1 in the rating is the equivelent of an addition of one inch of armor.

These vessels, though smaller and cheaper than the usual Klonor ships, are of the same quality that you have come to expect. They will serve you well.

*Link does not work for the Foe Hammer Weapons advertisement*

BUMP..................for the first time ever!

*Interesting, very interesting*

Check your Tgrams's

I see someone else likes DOGA :]

OOC: Do any of these things have more than three DOGA parts in 'em? :rolleyes:

~Siri

OOC: I sorely doubt if any of them have more than three. Hell, I bet some of them don't even have that many. Just look at the '5 Extra Cargo Bays', I think that is just one single part. But this store was originaly designed to be a non-picture store (The original title was "Klonor's Non Picture Young Nation Store"), so that people wouldn't be slowed down by downloading dozens of pictures (like on all my other storefronts.). However, Foe Hammer sent me a message on AIM offering to make pictures for everything and I accepted. I figured that even these were better than nothing.

The Empire of Aybssmial was wondering if any of your ships have boarding capibilities.

I want 50 wasps, with whatever you want to put on them, Klonor. I was thinking Military Lasers and mixed shields, but then the gadget choices scared me off.

Boarding capabilities? Not really. The biggest can carry like 5 people total. What could you do with 5 people?

So........do you want any gadets?

Sure!

Then tell me what you want.

But I don't know?

My 8,001 post! w00t! Yay! Yay! w00t!

Just pick two. That's why we have the list. Seriously, there's only 6 gadgets.

6? That be a lot... ses. Let me choose now... Half with escape pods and navigators, and half with extra bays and cloaking.

If you couldn't tell, I just wanted to annoy you. Anyways, I can just use these:

So, you don't want these ships? Or you do want them? Cause I just woke up less than 20 minutes ago and my brain is fried

OOC: I figured that if you could put people in cargo, but anyways, ok.

IC: The Empire of Abyssmial will take the following:

1 Wasp Class - 2 Mil Lasers, 1 Beam Laser, Energy Shield, Reflective Shield, Navigating System, Targeting System
2 Bumblebees - Beam Laser, Energy Shield, Reflective Shield, Nav. and Target Systems
4 Fireflys - Mil Laser, Energy Shield, Target Systems

TOTAL: 581,998,125

*buys a small nation*

Barbarosea, your order is confirmed and ready. Where would you like these ships to be delivered?

The ships may be delivered to The Dominion of Abyssmial's Orbital Shipyard.

Ships are en-route. Expect them within the IC day.

Ooh, cheap stuff. Time to throw my cash around.
100 Fireflies ($2,325,000,000)
10 Termites ($1,860,000,000)
10 Wasps ($3,768,750,000)

20 Auto-Repair Systems ($139,500)
Total: $7,958,009,925
Money wired on confirmation.
I assume everything is in USD?

You are correct, everything is in USD. Ever since the collapse of the Klonor Empire the Floren, the Klonor currency, has dropped in value and the new Association is only just beginning to raise it again.

Order is confirmed.

So, you don't want these ships? Or you do want them? Cause I just woke up less than 20 minutes ago and my brain is fried

I do. I was joking, and pointing to the picture of the ship that you designed for me, and that CF made look better. :D

tag: I'll be making some purchases as soon as I get my military budget up from $0.00. :(

Klonor, if you wouldn't mind, we would like to take a moment to blantantly advertise the ESUS, the greatest space alliance of all time. So go here (http://esus.illspirit.co.uk/forums/viewforum.php?f=4) and post a topic saying you want to join.

Fixed.

Okay, I was just in a car accident so my mind isn't exactly a hundred percent, but did I miss something? I've already joined (and left) the ESUS twice. I'm even a Moderator on its forums. Yet you feel the need to promote it to me? Did I miss something?

Like, a bumper-buster? (hehe, bad joke) Or a full-fledged crash? I was just showing it to all the young nations here. Since they should all be space tech.

A telephone pole got in the way of my car.

Those telephone poles, always jumping out of nowhere. Is your car totalled?
Oh, and on an NS note, I'm working on some nanites, and I was wondering if you knew of any nano-warp technology. I'm trying to use it to transports particles to a pocket universe from a large-molecule-sized nanite, without having to have the stuff that's being transported being taken from the carrier to a seperate area, THEN sent to the pocket universe with another jump. Because that's just a waste. I have a thread on II somewhere.

Minor damage. It had to be towed, but the engine and most of the body is fine.


And stop asking me about nanites! You're like some weird stalker, although instead of harassing me with violence you use those freaking nanites! I don't use nanites, I never have, and I probably never will! So there!

Okay, the car has been totaled. Damn. And I thought it had only been a small BUMP

The Klonor Ship Store has been Re-Opened! Go, for all your purchasing needs!

how fast do these ships go?

Inter-stellar travel for them is instantaneous, travel in the system is limited only by the Speed of Light. The acceleration, which is what I think you would need, is 10 g's (98 meters per second).

Your order is confirmed and the requested vessels are ready for delivery. Where would you like them delivered?

I wish them to be delivered in orbit over my nation. I have a means set up to reach them and a place I can take them for repair already negotiated.

Vessels are en route. Expect them within the NS month (In Rl time...well, it's pretty much instantly)

We wish to place an order for ten Fleas at this time. More to come later, and money delivered when you confirm the order.

Deliver the fleas to DemonLordEnigma's space. That nation and our own have an understanding.

That order I placed last time? I'm placing an order for double that, this time for my law enforcement. Same delivery location. Money to be sent upon confirmation of order.

Hmm. You there?

Yeah, sorry 'bout that. This thread got lost a bit.

Your orders are confirmed and delivered.

We are going to place another order, this time for more ships.

We wish an additional 90 Fleas. We also wish for 100 Beetles, each armed with Reflective Shields and with 5 extra cargo bays. We also wish, comming out of the Administration budget instead of welfare, for a Wasp, similar armament to those sold to DemonLordEnigma except for the gadget slots to be escape pods. This will be the government ship.

The order is confirmed, with the requested ships under construction.

Imperial Docks Inc. would like to buy production rights to the Wasp class of vessels.

The Klonor Ship Store regretfully informs Imperial Docks Inc. that production rights for our vessels are not for sale.

I'll take 20 of the fully-loaded Wasps.
