NationStates Jolt Archive

I'm planning to put four of my Dadealus-Class Cruisers in orbit above earth, I was wondering if there are any laws that restrict me from doing this? I would be very grateful for any information on these laws if there are any. The ships I would put into orbit would be the F.T.S.C. Titan, Titan II, Titan III, and the Titan IV.

I've put captial ships into orbit around Earth before and nobody complained, so I imagine it's fine. I don't think there's an "Earth Orbit Police" exactly to shoot you down regardless. If people want to shoot your ships down, they will. However, there are no laws regarding orbit on NationStates because that type of thing can't be governed (unless you rule an entire planet yourself)

Thanks for the info, I have now placed my ships in orbit arround earth.

From the desk of the administrator of "the office of yet to be named", Nihiles H. Nonchalante' III :

The people of the Federation of Nihilistic Nihilism may find the time to applaud and congratulate you on your recent space launches. Though it should be noted that i can niether confirm nor deny that such an event will take place.

It should be further noted that I had no intention of informing you of the nigh on implausable chance that my fellow Nihilites will care; but my hand was forced by our Minister of International affairs whose title is "He whom actually gives a Damn." (aka: dad.)

With Unwilling reguard:

I applaud your excilent use of scarcasem, may it serve you well.

From the desk of Dreadlord Ivan Roshikov:

We condemn this act of spying on the part of Flightopia and their immoral miscreat Joe Abendo. Let me make this abundantly clear: If a single one of your Daedalus-class ships flies over Uve Been Pwned airspace, it will be summarily shot down and treated as the tacit declaration of war it is.

You will only be warned once you capitalist pig.

[OOC: Well that's interesting... I'm not sure if the time stamps here are completely accurate. Maybe my morning coffee hasn't kicked in yet...]

May you know, each cruiser can focus 10 25-terajoul particle lances, 10 35-terajoule ion cannos, and 10 point-deffence rail guns one target, and are point defence so we can fire 360 degrees up-down as well as left and right. All of the weapons are placed with 5 of each on each side of the hull, top, bottom, left, and right. So if you even think of firing on one of my ships, you will be attacked by not only all of my Dadealus-class cruisers, but also with my new Hiigara-Class Hevy Cruisers, over the doubble the fire power in each one. Some 2-gigaton nukes would suit you will. DO I make myself clear?

If any of these cruisers are above Phalanix and her assestsand any kind of energy spike is detected they will be asked to ether power down and be boarded or be obliterated by the Orbital Defense Fleet.

-Head of the Flightopian Space CorpsThe delivery was made in the most impersonal way possible, a non-sentient unit (That was exactly as harmless as it looked for just about every kind of passive or active scanner) holding the tube, eventually transferring it to the ship Joe Abendo was (Presumably) on.

A message was attached to it.

"Here's the lube."

Occ: What?

Two things:

1. None of my ships will fire on anyone, or anything unless it is deamed a threat, and only rail-guns would be used in any case.

2. I am in no way trying to provoke hostileites, I'm just stating that if we are attacked unjustly we will retaliate.

Also, no one owns space, and I only keep ships in LEO incase of an attack on my nation or one of her allies.
