Warship Size

[Lostworlds]

I was interested in finding out what everyone thought was a big ship. I know everyone has bigger ships. I am building a 8,000,000 ton warship this turn.

Only a few big ships out there.

 

Mind you, depends what you call big doesn't it.

Only a few big ships out there.

For every 10,000,000 ton ship out there, you probably have hundreds of small ships in the 1000+ ton range to screen it.

Our largest ships are just barely over half a megaton. They're cargo haulers, go fig. As soon as we have enough discretionary industry, we're going to build a bunch of engines and break one up into smaller, faster ships, though. More efficient for in-system use.

 

EDIT: Oh, and there should be an option in the poll for "We don't believe war exists, so we have no ships devoted to it."

"We don't believe war exists, so we have no ships devoted to it."

 

And what are you going to do when Turok or Azuth shows up. Drop a flower garland on their shoulders and kiss them on the cheek?

 

Frankly we are for peace and harmony and all that but we are not waiting for someone to show up and gloat over our corpses. (Although he may still still do so, at least we will try to give him a fight if he wants one.)

 

Alas poor Krelnett, I knew him well.

[Krelnett_of_Kraan]

Tsk tsk. You know us not at all. We can't wait to make first contact with an alien species so that we may open trade and prove the falsity of these talks of 'war.'

[Lord Uriel]

Krelnett,

Word from deep space is there is an empire of Beatle groupies who are on a crusade to rid the universe of Yoko Ono. They might consider your support and honorary Zraknod membership of John Lennon, as just enough reason to burn your HW from orbit.

I'd be careful.

Krelnett I hope that you run into those races that are willing to trade although I am not sure what you will trade if not military items. You could trade raw materials and what I call economic goods but most of those are easy enough to research especially if you are not researching military items.

 

Well good luck and I hope you find the aliens as accomodating as you hope to.

[Kurassier]

As a fellow HBOB member, should someone attempt to attack Krelnett or his people, we would probably intercept any and all weapons aimed at him and destroy them.

We would then sit down with Krelnett and have a beer/mead and talk about the folly of such alien races.

[Krelnett_of_Kraan]

Oh, we make excellent engines and sensor packages...

[athonian]

if i found a pacifist race i'd spare him. assuming the race declared allegience with me =)

[General Miles Avatar]

Your not going to find many of them.
