The Morik Nebula is on one of the Solarais frontiers. It is a strange place, with most sensors, shields and weapons not working there. A year ago, we found the reason. A strange mineral named Fotj is found there. This mineral is extremely valuable, as it provides the power of a star per cm cubed. The power lies latent, disrupting many things, among them shields and weapons.
A small planet named Valmia lies in the nebula, where a group of enterprising humans have taken control. They have built a shipyard, where they build ships to traverse the nebula. Many pirates already inhabit the nebula, but more traders and entreupeneurs arrive every day. The danger is high, but the profit is tremendous.
There are missions to be performed, valuable minerals to be collected, and fortunes to be made.
OOC: Send a trader/pilot to the nebula, with no more than 1.5 million NSD (NationStates Dollars) Buy a ship from the range of 3 (more forthcoming), equip the ship, and go RP your fortunes. (I am RPing a group of pirates and the Valmians). Note that this is related to your nation, so if someone makes a massive fortune on the mineral, maybe your nation will utilitize it.
Also, the Valmians destroy fleets, as they threaten their position. Also, ships apart from the ones in the ship/item catalogue below will not have their energy weapon/shields function, making it useful to buy a ship from Valmia.
Information
Freelancer Shipyards: Valmia
Ships:
Class: Vasudi
Type: Freighter
Active Weapons:
Laeri Laser Cannon x4
Matter Destabilizer x4
Missile Bay x2
Marr Missiles x20
Protection:
55 cm, titanium alloy
(The Vasudi carries no shields, due to the large amount of power it expends moving around)
Engines:
Twin Valr Engines, max speed 3/10 speed of light. Warp speed x3 speed of light. Accel 7% max speed/sec.
Sensors: Mulir Mk IV sensors, modified for nebula tracking/instant asteroid avoiding.
Description: The Vasudi can carry 50 000 metres cubed of cargo, and is easily equipped with mineral gathering equipment. It is the craft of choice among most freelancers, due to the fact it can carry such a large amount of valuable materials. It has no shielding devices, as they are hard to maintain with the Morik nebula's unique shield interference.
Cost: 0.97 Million NSD
-------------------
Class: Mjolnir
Type: Heavy Corvette
Active Weapons:
Laeri Laser Cannon x6
Matter Destablizer x1
Missile Bay x2
Mashk Missiles x24
Protection:
14 cm, titanium plating
(The Mjolnir also carries no shields, due to the Morik nebula's shield interference)
Engines:
Tri-Vas Engines, max speed 5/10 speed of light. Warp speed 4x the speed of light. Accel 17% max speed/sec.
Sensors: Mulir Mk IV sensors, modified for nebula tracking/instant asteroid avoiding.
Description: The Mjolnir is the most even ship in the small array of ships built to traverse the Morik nebula. It carries decent weapons, and excellent armor. It can only carry 500 metres cubed of cargo, however, and is best used to excort other ships. This is the ship most used by pirates.
Cost: 1.57 Million NSD
------------------
Class: Ior
Type: Interceptor
Active Weapons:
Laeri Laser Cannon x4
Protection:
3 cm ,titanium plating
Hyaj Mk XIV gravimetric shield.
Engines: Bi-pod Groj engines, max speed 4/10 the speed of light. Warp speed 2.7x the speed of light. Accel 45% max speed/sec.
Sensors: Mulir Mk IV sensors, modified for nebula tracking/instant asteroid avoiding.
Description: The interceptor was built as an escort for the freighter, nothing more. It carries some small array of weapons, and a gravimetric shield. It could probably outmatch a Mjolnir in combat, given an experienced pilot.
Cost: 1.22 Million NSD
------------------
Weapons:
Laeri Laser Cannon: This unique cannon is far weaker than a normal one, however, it seems unaffected by the energy interference in the Morik nebula. Cost: 55 000 NSD
Matter Destabilizer: The Matter Destabilizer is used to break away the useless parts of asteroids, leaving the valuable minerals easily collected. Cost: 125 000 NSD
Missile Bay: A standard missile bay, with a fueling device, propulsion, and tracking devices. Cost: 95 000 NSD
Mashk : A missile built for longe-range tracking, used to destroy pirate fighters and the like. Cost 3200 NSD
Marr : A missile built for shorter ranges, used mainly against larger ships. Cost 2500 NSD
Shields:
Gravimetric Shielding Device: This shielding device works simply. It gravitates larger objects away from the small object fitted with it, and repels them. It works against asteroids and missiles reasonably well, as long as they missiles aren't coming too fast.
Cost: Fighter: 220 000 NSD
Mjolnir: 952 000 NSD
Vasudi: 5.7 million NSD
Armor
Titanium Alloy: Titanium, the only metal that is used widely around the Morik area, is cheap and plentiful. It doesn't cost much to get a repair, and all ships come fitted with the right amount of armor for the area. However, alloy is cheaper for the Vasudi, as it cannot propel a vast weight of titanium as well as its own.
Titanium Plate: Standard for smaller ships, the titanium is cheap, and used all the time. Not much more to say.
