Bat Land is in need of purchasing 60 Kestrel Class Starfighter for 720k

granted, with one question, where ya going to base them? We sell stations that will allow you to keep them up in space.

i'm basing them in the free floating space colony i purchased awhile back

gotcha, enjoy

Are these warships PMT or FT? Also, can they be used to bombard positions on earth?

Are these warships PMT or FT? Also, can they be used to bombard positions on earth?

Sorry it took so long to get back to you

Yes, these are PMT tech, and due to stuff I have seen, I will be transferring all my stuff over to a plasma engine that I have seen the European Space Agency and NASA working on, which should be available for use by 2045. The Solar Sails are already in use.

And yes, these can be used to bombard places on Earth, though use against a populated city will result in my arriving with one of my Sovereign SSD Battle Groups to take out the offending ship/fleet.

One final question, pertaining both to these ships and your various satellite weaponry. If I were to evacuate all civilians from a city which was then occupied by invaders, would that be considered an inhabited city by your standards?

Okay, I want to make sure I understand this right

You have evacuated the civies, and the opposition forces moved in and occupied the otherwise empty city, correct?

Well, hypothetically speaking. This hasn't actually happened, but I'm walking a sort of fine line in a couple of places, and it's always possible. There may, hopefully not, but may, be a handful of my own men (millitary) stuck in the city.

That is acceptable, just make sure that they evacuate the target site, other wise, total obliteration. Think Paris in Armageddon for the osprey, and think Dresdin after we fire-bombed it in WWII after a Solar Sailor broadside.

ooc:
Excellent site A.Privateer! The MT/PMT tech is well thought out. Makes sense even. So who exactly are you privateering from? the americans are your targets or are they your what is the word...sponsors? the people that gave you the letter and let you loose?

Have you designed a Von Neumann probe? Concept is simple enough...just have to figure out the rest of it!
A big sandworm like entity from Dune would be excellent.
We would be interested in such a droid primarily focused on resource extraction.

oh yeah some of your links are down...the space elevator/habitat section has several down.

Hi, TAP's assistant here, we will double check those, make sure we can use them, also, we are moving from Zincoshine to Helicon Double-Layer Thrusters (HDLT's), which pass H- molecules, that's hydrogen for those of you who have forgotten their chemistry, through a glass tube, surrounded by a superconductive gel and copper wires, which turns it into atoms, ions and electrons, a.k.a. plasma, and then out through a magnetic field shaped around a Da Laval nozzle, as seen on the later model Auks in the movie 'October Sky,' which grants us a speed of 40,000 mph.

I am working on finding the article about this, and I will post the article when I find it.

Found some, these will help explain the HDLT better

hmm...this new ion engine of yours combined with your solar sails could be the first basics of a Bosswell ramscoop? with a bit of tinkering. The sails if set right and polarized might help/boost the elctromagnetic field emanating from the ion drive. If you could figure out a way to use the funnel you will have your first interstellar probe design no? all based on what you already have.

elegant. stick one of the VN sandworms on it and we and our allies will buy the lot! lol or at least however many we can afford to buy.

2. How do I purchase about three Gallofree Medium Transports worth (57 thousand metric tons)
3. How do I purchase about 10,000 sand trout
4. Hoow do they work for space travel

Okay, I have compiled my lists, and this is what a refit will cost

Aircraft Carriers = 5 billion
Battleships = 4 billion
Cruisers = 3 billion
Destroyers = 3 billion
Fighters = 1 billion per 20

This includes
1. Installation of artificial gravity
2. Life support installation
3. Shielding installation
4. Remodeling, including air-tightness and rebuilding the exterior walkways to be airtight
5. Intallation of Tesseract and the choice of either Hyperspace or Warp drives
6. Replacement of current drive systems with HDLT's

Hey, click on the warships link on his mainpage. His fourth rates are better armed than the average 1st rate. He and I are good buddies, and it was my book he used to make the stats for the solar sailors, and they are designed off the British Solar Sailors.

For refrence, see page 41 of the book, Naval Warfare in the Age of Sail by Kathy Ireland. he based it off the British Rating system of 1745. And under tech, you can get a good idea of what he is using to make his ships go.

It was purly hypothetical question not an actual threat.

still, even the hypothetical threat to attack TAP naval vessels enforcing policy is enough to result in a blacklisting. See below for the policy mentioned.

Use of this weapon on an enemy city is considered a crime of war, and will result in the destruction of this satellite by an American Privateer Task Force.

this is an act of war! as i have stated before and will state again nations on Ft have little relation themselves in the other tech. nation in pt can be peaceful,caring and war hating but have their mt or ft be evil. there is a differance of a millenia and a half between my pmt and ft nation. this bl;acklisting from your ft storefront is unaccpetable. expect any future meetings between our nations to be violent.

OCC: i will attack unless you remove your block from the FT storefront. i could careless about this one.

[ Uh...
Dude, why do your ships use a zinc/sulfur mix for a solid rocket fuel? That's like...homemade firecrackers, isn't it?

Wikipedia sez: "ammonium perchlorate powder (an oxidizer), combined with fine aluminium powder (a fuel), held together in a base of PBAN or HTPB" is the standard for the modern world.

EDIT: As well, your fighters should cost several million dollars, not a few thousand. ._.

Unless they're made out of styrofoam, or something. ]

shoot, gotta change that over to the HDLT

and as for why they cost so little, we have these mining asteroids

Based on the 'Brilliant Pebbles' and 'Smart Rock' missile defense networks, the Avalanche class consists of a large satelite containing hundreds of small, 3 inch long rods desgined to be fired at an enemy ICBM, which then diverts or destroys the ICBM.

Space Mines
http://www.gateworld.net/sg1/s4/graphics/414_03.jpg
Similar to underwater mines, space mines contain neutron bombs, and can maneuver through space using mini rockets. The benefits of using Neutron Bombs as opposed to regular mines is that a neutron bomb will not destroy the ships, but rather will kill the entire crew of the ship. The radiation dissipates immediately after release, making it safe for an assault team to move in and capture the vessel and it’s payload.

I'll still honour the alliance, and it may pop back up in the future in one way or another as I've made a Dian Irathria, which NN is more than welcome to merge with. keeping old territories, but essentially retiring the other seperatist states as NPC type territories.

pps. my economy was frightening until i just took a hit today reducing it to allconsuming (animal and environmental protection...) however i should have enough to manage a purchase of that size via my health and welfare budget perhaps with some of the defence budget.. the computers themselves are part of the education budget and a small segement from others. anyway phased out over the production time ICCD should be able to handle it.. and the economy should be back up to frightening real soon (next economic book posible ...hopefully)
