Work on the Arc is going smoothly, and will be completed next post.

Here's the specifications:
100m, 40m wide, 30m deep, in the basic shape of a sailing ship but smoother and
coloured the same as Seiken ships, in a bright white. Armed with sun based weapons
as well as two phase turrets which provide some unnecessary protection. It uses the
Sol Cannon for the most part, which is nearly as powerful as Shock and doesn't have
a proper recharge but can run out during some very long battles that take place
outside of the range of the Sun - the range being quite long. The Arc can also explode
suns, although this takes about 2-3 posts to accomplish and disables all other functions. Another weapon used is the Solar Flare, will encases enemies with a very powerful damage. It is about 10 times more powerful than the Sol Cannon and hits multiple targets over a remarkably long range - just short of standard projectile ranges. It can bend waves to hide itself, although it can't do this perfectly in hyperspace, as there is more space to cover and less time. If it concentrates on one function it can work in hyperspace, though. It can also bend transmissions waves, signals, sensors, etc (but it can't do things such as hi-jack messages, just make it so they don't work for the user), and the whole ship works within a state just outside normal temporal flux. Although this gives it no time based advantage, it does mean that it attacks from a different angle in space-time, and anything that bends through or even completely avoids normal space-time is still effected by the Arcs weaponry. The flux between normal space-time and void means that the Arc is unreliable in some aspects, and it is not advised for long use. Instead it is best carried or towed by other ships for a while, to keep the solar engines from overheating and exploding over long term use, which could happen if the Arc was forced to work for about a week straight, sucking in new solar energy the same time it expends it. The rate it sucks in solar energy is quite extraordinary, and it's engines allow it to concentrate the energy it receives to travel at phenomenal speeds - light speed being the normal cruise speed and an even faster speed for normal hyperspace, about 1/3 of a day for one "jump".

I would be happy to extend the completion date back two or three posts if you think I have made the ship too fast, but bear in mind that it is small and has several disadvantages in that a) numerous missiles could swarm over it, tachyon sensors would know what it was about to do, c) it can be destroyed quickly by warships.

Ok. Who wants to be my ally and supply me with a cool ship? Preferably Arada sized...

The difference in
insantiy and ingenious is
measured just by success.

The Z.S.S Savior was done and so was the new weapon. She called it a Zuchra.It was both in cannon and turret form.She immediately sent a message to say that they were done and that the blueprints were contained in the message.She made sure the blueprints were right and sent it.She put 6 of the new turrets on The Z.S.S. Savior.The nuetron,blaze,and phase had mixed well and the other things that were in there made it very good.It was wonderful against both shields and armor and had a good range.The Z.S.S. Savior had all the new tech(including a StarLancer and STS's) and the Phase Beamer, Zidgar Ecm, and ofr course the things that were always on a ship,A auto refueler,2 fuel scoops,An IFF decoder and a density scanner.She would add more stuff to the ship later.

erm, red, who are you?

Chaos to the enemies of the Azdgari

Red stated earlier -much earlier- that he was an independant. I would like to hire you, and I will supply you with an existing Voinian ship or I could build you a custom one with our new technologies.
What conference is this? Paladin said something about one.

--------------------------------------

The V.E.S. Borb is now complete, same stats as the V.E.S. Voinia. A third Voinia-class ship will most likely not be built, due to financial & resource reasons, and the fact that the Voinians really don't need another one.

--------------------------------------

In accordance with my agreement with Paladin, Voinian Fleet Command is sending a force of 40 Cruisers (all refitted with better shields, and Heavy Fighter Mk.2's) and 20 supply ships to establish an outpost at Ersadt. I assume the Igadzra are okay with this, as they are my allies. A small temporary space station will be set up to act as the command post for the fleet. When the first 40 cruisers arrive, another set of 40 cruisers will be sent, accompanied by another 10 supply ships, and 10 Minelayers. After those ships arrive, a force of 20 cruisers, 10 supply ships, and 10 Frigates will be sent. The V.E.S. Kelmaon, V.E.S. Voinia, and V.E.S. Borb will remain in Voinian space for the time being.

BATTLEDOCTOR, all enemies of the Azdgari and Odine are to meet on Histori Station
to hold a conference. Also, I would like to make a suggestion. I wish to send the U.E.S
Sephiroth, when it's ready, to escort your V.E.S Borb, V.E.S Voinia and V.E.S Kelmaon.
It won't stay with you for a long time, but in the meanwhile it would be a powerful
combination.

REDCHIGH, you have heard many responses, but I would also like to state that you
can join the U.E and if you wish we will custom build you an Arada size ship that
will use Hirogen Blazes and StarLances, and will also have a Matter Density Detector
that can detect Odine cloaks. We will also supply you with up to 6 UE Cruiser escorts
all with StarLances, and the fighters on them will all be armed with Hirogen Blazes and three StarLances.

<<Message to Rima of the Zidagar, Encryption Sequence Chi-9 Active>>

I am glad to hear of the completion of your Zuchra weapons. The U.E.S Sephiroth,
which now nears completion, will be armed with those weapons, and my normal fleetships
are being equipped with them, with the exception of the UE Fighter, which doesn't have
the room with the Hirogen Blaze already on.

Once the U.E.S Sephiroth is complete I am considering building another ship like it
to work with it, and also have some researching in mind. With StarLances to defend
bases already, I need one more weapon to round defences off. Here is what I've worked
on so far:

Pulse Laser - Directly connected up to the Matter Density Detector. It locates targets
and fires a single, high power blast at it. The blast can destroy munitions easily,
and is not limited by the target's speed, as the beam fires in an instant. It is great
for destroying munitions, as several of these on planets can wipe away missile attacks
quickly, but one on it's own is at a disadvantage due to a slow recharge <think Obelisk
of Light from Command & Conquer here>. The Pulse Laser is equally effective against
larger ships, but it's only real use is weakening up larger ships so that the standard
defences can finish it off quickly. The Pulse Laser sends a gravitonic wave at the target,
creating immense pressures that rip targets apart. Armour suffers against it more than
shields, which means that most munitions are quickly incinerated.

Work on this will commence soon, but may take some considerable time.

Paladin out.

<<Message to Miranu, no encryption>>

I would like to hear how your people are doing - I have heard that a dangerous human who
sided with the Azdgari, named Jade has been raiding you lately. From what we know, she
is truely ruthless and will destroy anything in her path. Be careful of her.

Paladin out.
