80 trillion just for the secondary armament? Ugh, this is gonna be expensive. Though I guess I can lay off the capital ships for a few decades.

I don't want to spend any extra money trying to figure out how to fire a rock through a shield, I'll try and find a replacement energy weapon somewhere. Might have an improbability cannon or two lying around.

I'm going to post a little while later with my full wish-list.

Hey, Guess what day it is!

Sorry for the delay; please accept this complimentary bottle of Château de Kanata spiced blueberry wine, bottled the year your ship was laid down, with our compliments. You can save it or smash it against the side of the ship.

Speaking of which, your Pyric Divinity-Class Imperium Evicerator is waiting for you in Earth orbit.

Thank you very much.
The last payment is arriving.

And so is the crew. The ship will arive in a few days to pick it up.

We thank you for doing business.

Wish List for the 'Solomon Gate':
Command and Control center for coordination of Skeelzanian military
Full gravity
Space for 1200 fighters and other small craft, up to Gunship class (70x60m tops)
Capability to operate independently for six standard months
Barracks for 2000 marines
Docking for heavy cruiser-class warships (not drydock, just ability to attach and offload personnel and supplies)
FTLi devices covering at least 140,000 square kilometers
Hyperspacial monitoring devices (we can supply these)

That’s what I can list off the top of my head. I’ll probably ask for some sort of super-weapon to be installed on the top or bottom. How much would one of those Plasma-wave-thingers cost?

Plasma-wave-thingers? You mean a superheavy? Around 42 trillion a pop.

Your FTLi request is also odd, is specifying 2D area rather than 3D volume or the more practical radius or diamiter specifications.

I thought I put in a 3D number. Perhaps I meant "cubed." That is what I want, a 3D field of coverage.

I'll get back to you regarding the superheavies...

I find defining feild volume in terms of radius is best; it instantly tells someone how close they can get to you befor encountering it. A volume measurment is much less important.

Also, for those less versed with area and volume measurments, they can be deceptive; I mean, if I remember the formula right, a circular 2D 'area' of 140'000 square kilometers(what you requested) would only be ~211 kilometers in radius - for 140k cubic kilometers, the radius would be alot smaller(a cube 52 kilometers a side has a volume of 140608 cubic kilometers; I'm too lazy to look up the formula for the area of a sphere, but it would net a similar diamater, and thus the radius would probally be around 26 kilometers).

bump

Then change my FTLi order from "kilometers square" to "having a radius of at least..."

How long exactly should such a structure take to build? I ask so as to work out an appropriate payment schedule. We will be taking two super-heavy cannons by the way (one mounted on each "pole").

Two or three RL months, depending on the final specs.

By the way, for an armour protection value equivilent to a Battleplate, utalising mostly SAPL, the hull cost would aproximate 150 trillion - if you would like Darkforge Battleplate protecting the two superheavies, that's another 10 trillion and a minimum 100 RL 'day' production time, but renders the two most obvious targets all but indestructible.


Anyway, I've thrown together a quick summary and cost estimate, with a few modifications; please mention if I've forgot anything.

Preliminary Summary for the 'Solomon Gate':

Estimated Cost: 692 Trillion USD


Command and Control center for coordination of Skeelzanian military
Full gravity
Space for 1200 fighters and other small craft, up to Gunship class (70x60m tops)
Capability to operate independently for six standard years

Looks good. I'll probably get to work on my own render, unless you have any specific picture in mind.

Alright, with the extra cost and time of Darkforge armor for the main cannons factored in, and a conservative build-time estimate of 100 'days,' in order for me to have this thing payed off by the time if finishes construction I'll have to pay you 7.02 trillion each 'day'. I'll probably pay you half this, so it'll take an extra 100 days to pay off. Of course if you don't like that I suppose I can pay you 7.02 a 'day.'

I'm assuming this will be built in some secret Kanuckistani yard, and hyperjumped to a La Grange point, no?

Nope: just keep in mind that fact that everything that doesn't have to be exposed is under thick, heavy slabs of armour.

It's actually an extra 10 trillion atop of the 692 for the Darkforge; I wasn't sure if you'd go for it or not.

And you can take however long you want to pay, within reason; you just can't take delivery until you've finished paying for it; you understand that we have to cover our asses when it comes to projects of this expense.

Oh, and we've just managed to get a design for a gravitic slip-feild aproved for export by the DoD, if you're interested; unfortunatly, it'll cost 8 trillion to build, and another full trill for exportible Gravity-B generators to allow for full simulated gravity despite the slip-feild negating normal gravitational interactions. Still, given the cost of this ship, it'd probally be a good investment; gravity weapons can be nasty buggers.



I'm assuming this will be built in some secret Kanuckistani yard, and hyperjumped to a La Grange point, no?

Basicly.

A capital-grade displacer platform will be used to teleport it to pre-arranged coordinates within it's destination system. After that, it can reposition under it's own power - 25 gees of thrust isn't a whole lot by most standards, but it's plenty for interplanetary travel if ya ain't in a hurry; you can make 1% Cee in three and a half hours.

If you opt for a gravitic slip-feild, you'll also need to remain under-power to some small degree if you intend to maintain a relative stationary position relative to a planetary body or moving point, or simply match speeds with the centeral star and coast along with zero relative velocity to the system's hub; you can't exactly orbit a planet or sit in a La Grange when you're not affected by gravity, afterall, unless you're under power.

I had already factored in the extra 10 tril in my calculations.

Skeelzania currently uses Tachyon Inertial Dampners that work by essentially suspending all laws of physcis in a given area. It's what keeps our dreadnoughts from snapping in half during a turn. A side-effect is the generation of gravitational field. We can ship you a few generators for installation on the station, if it'll save us money. But first we'll need a rough size estimate.

Oh no, no; a gravitic slip-feild prevents matter within it's area of effect(usually hull-hugging with a few meters standoff) from interacting with gravity, both externally and internally generated.

Gravity-B(technicly called 'I-Can't-Belive-It's-Not-Gravity' because it's damn near identical, but mainly without the space-warping aspect of actual gravity) is one of several artifical forces invented by Contextual Mechanics physicists, and the most economical method of simulating gravity in a gravitic slipfeild without resorting to tacticly unsound rotating segments(a standing inertial feild gradient effector system would also be cheaper, but not so much as to justijy the complexity of maintaince and, in certain areas, accident avoidance, as was demonstrated on Battleplates first outfitted with SIFG effectors and gravitic slipfeilds during the first Shivan War); the main reason it's so expensive for you is the need to redesign exported technology to render it nigh-impossible to reverse engineer, as requiored by Kanuckistani law, and because this tech is brand new to the export sector.

Of course, if you don't wish to go with the gravitic slipfeild, Gravity-B generators are redundent.

I suppose we'll go with the slipfields then.

BTW, do you use the 1 day=1 year rule, or just impose the build time so I don't whip this thing out in the middle of a RP?

Day=Year rule; if you'll look back, you'll see that all large orders have a build time associated with them. And Darkforce Battleplate was established to take a century to properly craft back on '03.

Of course, the fact that it keeps you from being able to wave cash and instantly bulk up your fleet with anything but smaller ships is an added plus, IMO.

Anyway, total cost now comes to $711 Trillion USD, with an estimated completion time of June 3rd, 2005, iRL Absoloute Calander, if we start construction today, Febuary 23rd, iRL.

If all details are acceptible, you need but confirm the order and lay out a requested payment schedule, mindful of the fact that you can't take delivery until you've finished paying it off.

Does 7.11 trillion a day sound reasonable? I'll also be assuming that all the other quirks inherent in Skeelzanian vessels are included. Once its done I'll probably drop another trillion outfitting the Admiral's quarters.

Aye, sounds good; and any design quirks you'd logicly ICly request but didn't bother with here - unless it's a major functional issue or particularly expensive - can be assumed to be included.

Please take a look at the Ashen Wind-Class Missile Cruiser in the first post; it is smaller, but basicly what you apear to be after.

And having multipule smaller vessels is generally a good idea in regaurds to missile-dominated armaments, as they distribute their armament and incoming fire across a larger number of targets, as well as being easier to replace and less important if lost, all the while maintaining equal or greater firepower compared to a single vessel - missiles don't typicly requior massive powerplants or gun assemblies, afterall, and so can be split up amoungst many smaller vessels without reducing their potential lethality.

Closer to two or three times that; a toned down version cost nearly 700 trillion.

And as I notice the seemingly rapid proliferation of uberships, I become reluctant to build more. I feel it's bad for RP in general; promotes too much one-up-manship between players.

OOC: I plan to retire 2 of my ships ( as in large uber ships ), and need a huge replacement. I go down the line of " Small Number Of Large Ships " . For example, some people use alot of smaller ships. And I consider that just the same. And I perfer to fight in smaller numbers. Now, I know it'd be really expensive. But If I started paying now, how long would it take to build?

You can't spend your entire defence budget on new purchases every year; you have to also pay your military personel, house and feed them, pay for thousands of incidentalcosts including fuel and ammo, and also pay for the upkeep of your existing military hardware and infastructure.

Seeing as your defence budget is only 37 billion (http://thirdgeek.com/nseconomy/nseconomy.php?nation=UntdCapitalistRepublic), I recomend you make payment over 3 to 5 years to stretch out the cost - most space-tech nations seem to go by "1 NS year = 1 RL day", BTW; atleast outside of specific RP threads.

I'm afraid that won't be possible for atleast several decades; at this point your vessel consists almost entirly of warehoused parts - the hull itself is still a collection of modular blocks.

Assembly wasn't scheduled to start for another thirty years, give or take.


However, if you need to bolster your forces, we can offer you a 15% perferred customer discount on any existing products.

We aren't going to dishonor or fighting men and women by using foreign-built ships; we needed the platform to defend our homesystem so they can do the killing. The gnomes will be destroyed by Sternreich ships, not something from a mailorder catalogue.

Why could they not serve the same end, albeit to a lesser degree? Forgine-bought ships could easily free up appitional domesticly produced forces to persue offencive operations.

Alternativly, we could equip anything you order for robotic or teleoperation, providing your fleet with a core of ultimatly expendible, unmanned warships to bear the brunt of an enemy's fire, reducing your casualties and allowing your domesticly produced forces to more potently press an offencive. This has the advantage of lowering losses amoungst your officer corps, allowing them to more readily accumulate experiance and hone their skills to even deadlier proficency.

Your requested order comes to a total of $840'000'000'000 USD(Four Hundred Eighty Billion Universal Standard Dollars).

Your order will be ready for pickup at Earth Orbit, Sol System in aproximatly Two Standard Terran Years, OR Two 'Days', iRL 'Absolute' Calendar, as of your final confirmation of the order. If directions are requiored, a map can be provided; if delivery is desired, please respond stating such, so that it might be arranged.

Additional:
Virtually any payment schedule is acceptible, provided you understand that you must complete payment befor taking posession of the merchandise. Otherwise, well, I don't know; can you spare on the order of 38% of your annual defence budget for a single payment arrangment? Or rather, 19%, as it will take us two years to prepare your order, regaurdless.

What he said.

OOC: This may sound really really stupid. But I just want to ask if this is even possible! I'll even buy somthing if you give me some help here.
Shitty IC: I'll purchase 4 of your fine Athens Class ships.
OOC2: Right, I had an idea. There are going to be 4 ships that are going to replace my entire navy. The 1st one will be built rather quickly. Hopefully by mid june. The other 3 will be built during the summer. I had an idea, which may or may not be a good one. The ships would be rather large( duh ). And very thin. And perfectly flat on both sides. Why? I had an idea that instead of turrets and racks. The top of the ship could be a giant emitter. Sorta like a huge version of the omni directnol weapons found on Star Trek ships. Only it takes up the entire surface of the ship. On both sides. This can fire from any location, and even track ships when they fly by. This " pad " would be able to funtuntion as PDF,Main Offensive weapons, light weapons. And the entire pad could be used an an OMFG UBER DEATH weapon. And it could fire say . 5,000 PDF shots at once. If the need be. Or say 900 Main Offensive shots. Ect ect ect. Or it could be doing all of those at the same time.( bringing the numbers down though ). And you could configure it instantly to do whatever you need it to.

The only problems I could see with this are massive power requirments. And the limited range this system would provide. Along with the same problem that alot of star trek ships have. They cannot properly focus energy weapons because of lack of a focusing point.

However, I think the benefits outweigh the problems. You could configure thouands of shots per second while engaging an entire fleet. And not have to worry about weapon arcs or blind spots.

OOC: There are going to be 4 ships that are going to replace my entire navy.

OOC:
Bad. Idea.

It limits both your IC tactical flexibility, and your OOC RPing flexibility. You're basicly limited to 'sit threre and shoot', and you can't take losses, because they hurt like hell and take forever to replace.

Trust me; it sounds cool, and makes a fair bit of sense, but going all ubership was one of the worst decisions I've made with this nation. One I have plans to resolve in the future.

OOC: Hey Kanuck... Before you get rid of your Battleplates, could we have one showdown between a Bismarck and one of them?

OOC: Hey, as you may or may not know, I have a new ship in development. However, I dont have the know-how to create my own form of armour/hull plating/framework. That is as strong as I would like it to be ( though the ship relays mostly on sheilding systems for it's protection, which will be some of the best out there, though not close to the best ). I'm willing to pay alot of money. And it has to be strong enough to allow the ship to resist most grav attacks for a decent amount of time before it buckles. ( 19kmL, 7KM Beam,500 Meter Thick ). It needs to be as strong as your goverment allows you to produce. And I'm willing to pay a hefty price.

OOC:
How strong, exactly, does it have to be? We can provide materials of almost any property, but costs go up as tollerance extreams do.

Type 12 NES - the standard armouring and building material for our export ships - for example, is all around 50 times stronger than rolled homogenized steel armour(RHA), and costs roughly as much as steel(say $0.40 USD/kilo; it's damn hard to find current market prices for the stuff; all I could google was old data of unknown reliability).

Perfect 1:1 ratio Darkforge Battleplate, by contrast, is all but physicly indestructible, but costs insanly-huge-even-by-astronomical-standards amounts of money - less than a gram's ever been produced, in fact, and that's mainly for lab exparimentation. An inferrior version is in very limited use, but it's stil stupidly expensive.

As for grav weapons, eh, they're infinitly scalible; from pulp-the-squishies-but-leave-the-metal-alone to I-can't-belive-it's-not-an-event-horizon.

So, yeah; exactly how tough do ya want it?

Skeelzania confirms the order. The ship will be crewed in Sol and jumped to Skeelzania proper under the Imperial Mercantile Flag.

To answer your question, the Fell Warden will be used as template of sorts in the development of a new class of warship. Also it will be used for comparative strength tests at a future date.

Excellent; you will be able to pick the vessel up come May 25th, 2005, iRL 'Absolute' Calendar.

As for your use of the ship, I shall reitterate prior statment that all our vessels incorperate elaborate anti-reverse engineering provisions and mechinisims; they are, however, sufficently documented amoungst the craft's manuals that avoiding accidental triggering should be impossible provided any reasonible level of compotence.

If I understand your meaning correctly, however, this shouldn't be an issue.

OOC: ( finding RL market prices is hard, as they change everyday but anyway).

This is the main reason, I'm not sure how tough I want it. But because of it's uber thinness. 19km L, 7KM W, 500 Thick. This thing is going to be able to get up to speed, and manuver pretty quick. So it has to be able to take that kind of movement without bending.

It's gonna be for main plating an framework, no armour as you cant really armour this thing at all.

Cost isnt an issue ( as I'm doing an insane amount of dev threads,which will show up in a the next week for so, and I'm putting in an insane amount of money into this ). I'm asking, how strong are you WILLING to make somthing?

I'll make another offer, i'd be willing to help fund research on mass producing DarkStar Battleplate. If I can be sold the inferior version, and I will pay the price.

How thick do you want the beams? What dimensions do you want the cross beams to be?

I'll just do a few calcs to give you an idea of the final price;

Assuming you want it 200 meters thick, too, for 18'500x200x200m, that's a volume of 740'000'000 cubic meters.

At 7.85 metric tonnes/cubic meter, that's 5'809'000'000 tonnes or ~5.8 billion metric tonnes.

At $30.00 USD/kilo, ie $30'000 USD/tonne, that comes out to $174'270'000'000'000 USD or ~$174.3 trillion USD.

For one main beam.

OOC: Hello again. I wanted to ask if you could bother looking over the stats to my new ship, just to get an outside opinion. It was designed with beating Kanuck and Mindsetti battleships in mind, and I'm afraid I may have gone over board in stuffing it to the beams with firepower. If you agree, I'll just telegram it over to you. You can also try reaching me on MSN messenger (badskeelz@yahoo.com), but thats kind of iffy since I only have this comp half the time.
