Hi guys,
A note of enthusiasm for new things starship.
I am a few days away from being able to take pics of a new line of ships.
Almost all our registrations so far are for warships, exploration vessels,
traders and the odd maintenance tender. The ongoing humanitarian disaster in
Arbor and a request from representatives from Arbor has precipitated the
Commonwealth of New Pacific to move to register some of her passenger liners for
galactic travel. Because these space liners tend to spend more time at
destinations than between them, the liners themselves are little more than huge
self-sufficient hotels in space, with little drive capacity. To move them about
there are Liner Tenders, essentially huge tugs that attch themselves to the
liners, and move them from place to place. These same tenders also push large
amounts of cargo about New Pacific. They are not owned or administered by the
Commonwealth itself, but by the White Star Line out of Elizabeth. The
Commonwealth leases them in times of trial.
These ships one obviously builds in microfig scale (pity :-).
The Liner Tender Puissance is ready for registration, along with her sister
ships Regnant and Irresistible (just neet to take pics, such a drag).
The Liner Brikannic has a little way to come, with her sister ships Olympic and
Germanic.
In the meantime, I may need to request a special dispensation or something on
the Systems Treaty of Spraw. I have 5 high propulsion and 7 medium propulsion
vessels. When I make these tenders mediums, I will be out of interesting
systems slots for propulsion. Thankfully, these ships don't carry much in the
way of other systems.
I guess there are two ways forward for me. Either we can find a way to grant
some additional systems slots, or I have to start decomissioning vessels, which
seems like a pity (bearing in mind that I might have an unjustifiably high
opinion of having my ships registered :-)

Still baldly going...

| (...) Yeah, I've noticed that, too. Is it just the nature of the beast? Or are we doing like TLC did; it seems that Lego towns are almost entirely made up of fire stations and police stations, with the odd rescue center or two. All action and no (...)
