OOC: How do you change the thing it says under your nation name in the stats?

Well, you can't change your member title if that's what you mean. (like the thing that calls me a pimp and you a member?)

Also, here are some comments about your stats: (I'm assuming you mean FT.)

Engines:
-Run off Urainium You're not gonna get anywhere near enough power out of a fission reactor to get much done. Look into a matter/antimatter or a hypermatter reactor.
-at least Mach 8 speed No speed limit in space. The 'speed' rating for FT ships is actually a measure of acceleration
Cargo:
-50 100" by 100" cargo bays
-500 ton Towing ability No limit to towing capacity on ships. All that matters is how many newtons you put behind it. A starfighter could pull a planet, but the acceleration would be incredibly slow.

If possible-
Small Craft:
-50 to 100 small fighters
-10 bombers You'll probably want something like 60 fighters (5 squadrons) and 24 bombers (2 squadrons) for a rounded out complement (people mostly do squadrons in groups of 12) Also, you'll want some shuttles and/or light to medium lift craft onboard, especially in light of your requests in terms of cargo ability.



Hope some of this helps :D

I agree with No endorse on those other things, but, I think you may want to tone the crew numbers down a little for your first capital ship.

I believe the goverment of Quaon has some perfect capital ships for you. They contain lasers, but we can easily remove them and replace them with railguns if you so desire. How many would you like? And for price, do not fret, consider this a gift of the Quaonese goverment. We also have several S.T.A.R. (Space-Terrirsterial Age Rover) starfighters that make good dogfighters. They, however, carry a cost of 10,000,000 dollars per ship.

I have two questions.

1. what is the best propulsion system for a PMT space craft?

2. What are the best weapons for a PMT space creft?

That the ship you mentioned sounds perfect, and in addition we'll take 100 S.T.A.R.s. The money will be wired. If you ever are in need of aid just let me know.

A great place to look for ships is Huntaer's storefront, simply because he has a section of custom NS stuff.

Also, you might want to check out the International mall's FT section.

You may have to register on that forum, but it's worth it.

You should recieve your shipment in about 5 hours. I'd also like to invite you to Quaon's diplomatic party. (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=458912)

Once again, The nation of Drexel Hillsville thanks you. Perhaps in the future our two nations may trade resources?
