Wetland putting out contract.

[Wetland]

The wettic navy has had experience with importing warships in the past and given the requirements of this order the navy felt that it had no other option then to give the contract to another nation.

For years now the flagship of the space fleet has been the Jupiter B class battleship Zeus but it's systems are no longer completely up to date and it's size doesn't make it very intimidating. The navy therefore wanted a new ship that would be five times larger then the Jupiter and equipped with the most advanced systems available. Our shipyards however did not have the expertise or size necessary for such a project so we have decided to hold a competition.

We are looking for a ship that is about 10km long, carries both jump and warp engines and is capable of keeping up with the rest of the fleet, must have at least a Mk. II Accumulator shield generator although additional shielding would help and it must have a qucomp with a fourth generation AI. The technology for these systems will be supplied by us as will be the weapons systems of the ship. The ship must have these weapons:
- phased particle beam arrays
- plasma cannons
- rail cannons capable of planetary bombardement
- ZPE missiles
- antifighter laser cannons
- decoy launchers for protection against missiles
It must also carry at least 400 fighters, 10.000 marines, their equipement, the dropships to offload them and 4 battlecrabs.

The nation that has the best offer will be awarded the contract, we are currently only looking to order one of these ships although we may order additional ships as our nation grows.

[Zarahemla]

We were interested in the contract, until you mentioned the size. We here at the Capsule Corporation do not believe a ship as you described is anything more than an intimidation piece. We do not build toys to scare your enemies, we build weapons that kill your enemies.

If you're interested in making a more reasonable ship, one much smaller or one that uses its space a lot more wisely, then please contact us. Otherwise, we will not build you a 10km-long ship unless it carries a bunch of 10km rail cannons, and can ferry an invasion force of 2 million troops, 1000 fighters, 1000 mecha, and a couple thousand tanks. Otherwise, the ship you described is nothing but a Normal ship wearing a fat scary-guy suit.

Good day,
- The Capsule Corporation

[Sskiss]

I'm afraid the Sskiss can't offer much help, seeing that our technologies are so different for the most part.

[The Emperor Fenix]

We can do size no problem with some age behind it a 10km World Eater is laughable, we don't however produce weapons of war, all world eaters are unarmed.

[New Calabra (Albion)]

What you are asking is rather unreasonable. It seems like you are squandering the attributes of a good ship by making it large. It seems like you are making the ship just to scare people.

You should be looking to have a smaller ship that works better. Size isn't everything; in fact, the smallest ship, if in the right place, can be more valuable then the largest ship ever in the wrong place.

ooc: way to restate everything I just said

Metallinut's ship = Lots of empty, useless mass.

You could shrink the ship by 1/10th the length and maybe even fit MORE troops in it

Do you realize how many troops you could fit on a 20,000m long ship? You're talking about a city of 500,000 PER DECK.

Come on!

This entire project proposal in one word: Inefficient.

Well, you obviously have not seen one in action....

[Jordaxia]

Actually, what is implied is that, whilst it may be powerful, it is not efficient. It could be far smaller, and thus less matter intensive, and cheaper, and harder to hit, and still achieve the same result. Thus... it is not as efficient as it could be, which makes it inefficient.
