My Dream Ship Would have...

[ab357]

Okay... Now this thread should be more fun. This one is designed for me and you all to go back to those Octs, Novs, and Decs, watching all those commercials keeping track of what we wanted to add to our list for Santa. It also shouldn't be viewed as anything more than a dream vehicle, not a demand to have it added. Although we wouldn't be hurt if Cory created them. hint...hint...hint :$


My dream ship would be the mother of battle ships. One that is available in any level as long as you have the moola and exp to buy or capture it.

I'm thinking huge, yet fast and agile. Something along the lines of 250-300 holds, 50 armor, 50 hull, 75 guns, 20 torps, and 100-150 sails! The big kahuna baby! LOL

I'd also want to have at least 4 Officers, maybe up to five. With a baby this powerful you wouldn't have to worry much about boarding for combat. So I guess 150 or so crew should do.

This baby would be a Solar War machine! Load that puppy up with 50; weapons and electronics, enough metal, crystals, spice, vudka, and luxury rations for the crew. Filling up the remaining holds with w-f and that baby can hold down a blockade until it swaps out all w-f and lux rations for booty.

It should also have the capacity to accommodate all upgrades you have at your disposal. Of course this baby wouldn't come cheap. But as a Basic level billionaire who cares! LOL

Okay now back to the real world where we're forced to do our warping on level ground..

My dream ship is a 1-man star-fighter equipped with an auto-tracking/homing anti-matter particle ray with unlimited ammo that kills ANYTHING (including YOUR dream ship) in 1 shot that does not even need to be aimed.

[ab357]

Which reminds me my dream ship would also come with an atomic force field with mirroring. So it would flip your shot back to you. LOL

[blackgauntlet]

The particle ray disintegrates EVERYTHING, including your flimsy little force field. Nyah nyah nyah nyanh nyah... We sure do sound really mature here, don't we?

[ab357]

We certainly do. And I'm yelling your mother you obliterated my ship! LOL

I am not that demanding. I would take anything capable of nuking Palace from the orbit. I certainly hate when Officers I would like to recruit are hiding on enemy planet .

I recall back in Trade Wars 2000/2002 if you have a powerful enough ship you could take out a star port. But TW 2000 had a massive universe, you could also stake out and colonize planets. Then once your colonists produced enough of the required resources you could build a planetary warp drive so you could warp all your planets into the same sector.

The planets themselves had defense systems, and you could use planets to defend any sectors leading into your home sector.

But Trade Wars was a BBS system so all the players were on the same play field and you could get wiped out while off line. LOL As I recall you also had alien traders to fight off as well.

I doubt that any app would be that massive in design and size. But it is the greatest spacer RPG I've ever played.

I was in negotiations to write a screen play based on the game but the owner went through a long drawn out process deciding whether to sell the platform to another company so I just went to another script project.

Ah... The good old days when you could only be crushed on your computer or game console. LOL

[blackgauntlet]

In Russia, game consoles don't crush you, YOU crush game consoles!

[ab357]

Or throw them out the window. LOL

My dream ship would have only 1 hull but 1 engine powered by a rift that leads to the times of big bang and causes massive enough thrust that i dont need any sails.and an unlimited cargo and crew by a rift that leads to a huge storage room located in a slip dimension. I also want 1 gun that of course shoots a grazer to crush enemy hulls instantly. Also 2 torps loaded with red matter if i really get pissed off. Did i mention that the hull is also powered by the engine and is built by trillions and trillions of tiny black holes that the 5 PW wngine holds together? Of course the black holes are warped to not cause gravitational pulses and only appear as a very very very very vey VERY VERY WERRY hard material.

A littles more of sometjing that might be considered by cory would be teleportation portal that could teleport cargo and goods to a set and permanent exchange (meaning cargo and goods could only be teleported to one particular exchange). Thia would helpfull after you explored long and hard and all but one crew member was baporized by rapidly gorming volcanoes and you have artifacts and weapons galore to fly off the surface and gladly hand over to the blood thirsty pirates circling above the atmospheres and undoubtedly noticed th unfortunate demise off your entire crew and your health level of 1.


EDIT: After losing 3legs, 2arms,, 2hands, & 2feet, Whats left? Wait! How many legs did I lose? Noooooooooo!!!

[blackgauntlet]

No worries. That one is still replaceable with prosthetics. And it comes in many varieties; ribbed, vibrating, pistoning & etc...

[ab357]

LOL, I remember when I first went exploring. I was like who programmed this game? Now I know.

[blackgauntlet]

It wasn't me.
