I lodge a complaint at Corise. Two months ago, at the takeover of Metalorn, he had one. Now he has at least three named, and several more mentioned. Where are all these popping up from? I think we had a discussion about this in the R&D thread, and even Omnae piped in the Metalorn OOC about it.

1. A minor point. Contegorians have 3 Pegasus class ships. I seem to recall hearing that they only had one and that there would be others but not for "quite a while". Just because a planet is taken does not mean a Pegasus Class ship automatically springs into being. With all these other smaller craft (R&D's) they've been building, it just seemed ... off.

How'd you build some many of those overstocked raptors?

There's six right now, all of them over Metalorn, out of 30 planned for production.

Six.

And they're rather undergunned for their size, truth be told.

That's a joke, right?

The Empire is the largest government in the galaxy. It is a military dictatorship, with enormous capital put into warships. It controls the largest production facilities in the galaxy: Kuat, Bilbringi, Fondor, Corellia, Yaga Minor, and more.

Building 600 ships of less than 1000 meters is not a stretch - by any means - for the Empire.

Nevermind that the Pegaus' R&D states that they are an extreme rarity... and yet Corise seems to have no fewer than five stationed around one planet.

I should clarify this. There will only be one Pegasus Star Destroyer being built right now for the KDF. In the future, there will be more in KDF, but that will be a while. As well, another Pegasus-class is currently being built for the Gestalt Colonial forces.


I remember this being posted by Corise not too long ago.

Some shipyards are mentioned to be able to construct up to 400 medium sized vessels at once in the Yuuzhan Vong Series, including but not limited to Fondor and Kuat off the top of my head.

I am inclicned to agree with Kach.


*teams of Imperial scientists cleanse the Grand Admiral's mouht with hydrocholoric acid*

The Conqueror-class Star Destroyer, an immense vessel of titannic proportions takes up a gerat deal of resources to do. It is a project only a government as vast as the Empire, the Coalition, or the BDe could undertake easily, the Empire most so since it is devoted to war and expansion. even given our size, we have only five at this time, and no more than two have appeared together thus far.

I have done this for realisms sake. It is neccessary. The CSD, despite its drawbakcs is still an awesome ship and to load them together would nto be fair unless agreed upon.

To have one originally and no almsot a half dozen, well - - I would ask for a staff decision.

No surprise. You're a bit mistaken if you think I only have had one. Simply because I mention the existence of a single ship doesn't mean that there aren't other Pegasus-class Star Destroyers in existence at all. I just did a quick scan of the Metalorn thread, and I didn't see anywhere where I mentioned that only one existed. And yes, Kashan and Metalorn do have the industrial output to make them; Metalorn was one of the primary industrial worlds of the Empire, and Kashan has several well-developed yards.

In regards to Omnae's comment, I did riposte, and there was no response to that; I redirect you to comments pertaining to the said issue.

I admit, I am slightly surprised that you are against this as well, Telan; mainly because you gave me an approximate formula for how many Pegasus-class Star Destroyers I could have. Here are your exact words:

Now when Kashan gets a half=-dozen planetary systems they can field I would say perhaps ten or so.


The Confederation does not have six planetary systems, it has eight. But your own formula, that means I could be fielding 13 Pegasus-class Star Destroyers. I am not fielding nearly that many; in fact, I'm fielding less than ten.

Let's do some Math to make Kach stfu.

Two months ago, at the takeover of Metalorn, he had one.


That's two months.

The Kashans lay claim to at least four planets. Let's say that's two Ship Yards under the old rules...

I should clarify this. There will only be one Pegasus Star Destroyer being built right now for the KDF. In the future, there will be more in KDF, but that will be a while. As well, another Pegasus-class is currently being built for the Gestalt Colonial forces.


This, Kach, would be "in the future". Keeping in mind the excuse that the Kashans are members of the Galactic Coalition and construction partners with the Gestalt Colonies among others...

So, let's say that's an additional Six thousand meters, give or take...

And let's factor in that Corise is among the most active PT/RP members to come along at TRF of late... And that Mustering is dependant on CHARACTER efforts, not imaginary planets...

So let's play fair Kach, being as I have tended to support Corise in the past; if you want to play the game this way, I'm going to throw my weight into his corner and see if I can't fault your own fleet perspective which, I might add, is so dependant on the work of others (being part of "the largest government in the galaxy.")

And if Corise had not put that little qualifier in his R&D you would not have a leg to stand on.


To have one originally and no almsot a half dozen, well - - I would ask for a staff decision.


This isn't that. This is an opinion; and I have no problems with the current "mustering" claims laid down by Corise and the Kashans (I don't even want to try and spell that new name of his).

And to fault Corise, I must point out that, upon investigation, I am guilty of the same 'offense' in greater capacity via my efforts through the Gestalt Colonies and I can only imagine it is my lack of, ahem, PvP action that has let this go by unnoticed. And on that count I cry foul hypocrasy.

Use your In Character weapons to further your beef, Kach.

Number of planets nonewithstanding, it does take time to build a ship of this size. The Pegasus was designed less than 3 months ago, and all of Corise's takeovers have happened very close together. I remain skeptical that enough time has passed to actually build these ships.
