Good. The numbers were mostly arbitrary, so you can change those if you like, but they do sound fairly good to me.

Lord A & spl_, It would help to see a "complete" shipyard (stat's & all). And I'm hoping and praying the Corvette is still available...?
spl_cadet, since I cannot design a rock, I surely appreciate all the work you have done improving our arsenal. Thanks.

KK you are correct.
Rocks are hard to model-in the end I had to ask Kwanzar for an asteroid model.
Hum hum hum mm I like this cash limit thingy for fleets,instead of a numbers limit.
Providing the ships are reasonably priced,it should work.
What we need is an equation to work out,given the stats,the price of a ship

Speaking of which, I will soon post the statistics of the Dreden Rebellion ships. For all you other government leaders, go ahead and write out your stats as well and post them here. We'll need to fix them up and change minor, unrealistic stats before using them in the webstory.
Mac: I like what you originally said about the starting fleets. Let's just leave it at that for now.

Sounds good on the fleets. So am I officially doing pricing this time, or not?

I'll start on making stats. I will hopefully post them before tonight's end. KK, I don't do the shipyard; spl does. Spl, I may have to tone down your ships so that every one doesn't cost 50 mil.

Go ahead. Although the Lancer seems pretty reasonably armed.

Mac: You can have the pricing job if you want, just make sure you don't give them some huge, inflation-like price.

It would appear that my time estimate for stats was wrong. All prices are estimates, so here goes...
=============
Drake-class destroyer
Spl, although you say that this is the Siege Carrier's replacement, that would be a little hard, seeing as it carries 0 fighters. I'll deal with that later, but this ship is becoming a destroyer.

Turning: •••
9 tri-photon turrets

Spl, I hope you understand my re-classification of your ships. If you don't, email me.

It's good actually. Heh, I never realized that the Seige Carrier carried starfighters. Sometime within the next week I'll update the shipyard. Hopefully it will be done this weekend.

Looks pretty good, Asriel. I'll give you final prices on those within a couple days. Which old ships are you still using, if any? Corvette? Any others?

Dreden Rebellion Destroyer (Frigate Shipyard Graphic)
(not ResEdit format)
Shields: 150
Armor: 150
Speed: 400
Accel: Good
Turning: ****
Weapons:
8 Neutron Beam Cannons (like alien fusion beams, only blue, a little less powerful, and much better range)
2 Plasma Torpedo Launchers
10 Plasma Torpedoes (bright, green spheres of energy that pack a whallop)
2 Plasma Bolt Launchers
200 Plasma Bolts (sorta like human javelin rockets, only these look like minatures of the plasma torpedo. They don't fire as swiftly as javelins, but they have long range and good damage rate)
Fuel: 600
Price: $20 million or so, but that's up to Mac.
I'll post more stats on other Dreden ships later.

So, the Dreden Destroyer has terrible shielding and armor, but great engines and weaponry. I wonder if this will be true for all the Dreden ships...
Mac, the Corvette is in service, but no other old ships are. This model of the 'Vette should shred fighters well.
Shields: 90
Armor: 20
Speed: 400
Accel: Good
Turning: •••
2 tri-photon turrets
4 Javelin Launchers and 300 Javelin Rockets
1 LRBM launcher and 8 LRBMs
1 Rocket Launcher and 6 Rockets
Fuel: 500
Price: $2.3 million

Actually, for the high price I gave the Dreden Destroyer, I probably really should give it some extra protection. It's current shield and armor stats aren't exactly "weak," but they don't compare to alien technology like they should. I'll boot the shielding up to 250, and the armor as well. Just remember the Dreden Destroyer is quite fast for its size...

An interesting idea here. What if it were possible to blockade the passage of tax money from one planet to another? What I mean is that at the end of every 3 pages or whatever it is, the money gets sent from the world to it's governments capitol. But it could be prevented from reaching there. Here's an example. System A is the capitol of the HC. It links to systems B and C. C links to D and E. The pirates then capture C. The tax money from D and E gets interdicted by the presence of the pirates. If there is no fleet then 1/10 of the taxes gets lost per system controlled by enemy along the route. If there is a fleet there then 1/2 of it is lost in that system. However, if D linked to B as well then its taxes would safely reach the capitol, A, since they didn't have to go through C. You could protect the tax convoys by sending a player controlled fleet along to escort them, but the escort fleet would be unable to attack any enemy fleets (it has to escort) and if it were attacked and it lost then the entire tax convoy would be destroyed. No taxes from them that turn. The only exception that I could see to these rules would be for pirates if we start out like we did last time, scattered across the galaxy and not knowing where half of our bases are.

I dunno, that seems a bit complicated. Besides, sine even in the 21st century we can already transmit money electronically, I don't see why they couldn't in the 23rd century. It would be kinda hard for a fleet to intercept that.

Agreed. I think we'd be better off scrapping that idea, cadet, though it was rather creative.

I believe we will use many of the original graphics, and maybe some others which can be seen in the old (url="http://"http://www.tmgmedia.net/tempo/Shipyard.html")Dreden War Plugin(/url) shipyard.
