Modular bases registry - Printable Version

Guten Tag, Frau Fitzgerald. My name is Christiane Laurich and I´m kommissar from administrative department of the Rheinland Federal Polizei.

First I want to apologize for delay, there have been several issues lately which needed to be handled.

Now to your application. I´m afraid we can´t approve the intended location. First reason is that vicinity of planet Stuttgart is already area with high density of space traffic and we don´t wish to make situation even more complicated by adding another base to the crossroad, increasing risk of accident which would block this vital intersection.

Second reason is your plan to construct weapon platform or platforms. Our experience from past is that if any hostile will be moving in the area, the automatic defense system will start to fire all around and this can cause damage on nearby objects or passing ships, creating dangerous situations.

Understand, bitte, that we are talking about area which is vital for Rheinland economy as all trading and mining ships flying from direction of Omegas and Bretonia are passing it. For this reason, mentioned area is treated in special regime and only very trusted parties are allowed to put such powerful thing with considerable destruction potential and ability to create area supremacy - like weapon platform - in it. Rheinland can´t afford the risk of being cut off from resources from Omega-7 mining fields as well as all the goods from Bretonia if, for example, your base would be infiltrated by some criminals or terrorists and they would gain access to control of it´s weapons platforms.

I will finish my message with information that current standardized distant requirement for modular bases is at least ten kilometers from any nearest space traffic objects, with some small deviations allowed which are considered on case-by-case basis. You will have to review your plans with taking this condition into account.

I will await from you proposal of new location for your base.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Kommissar Laurich

Guten Tag, Sehr geehrter CEO Thalmann. My name is Christiane Laurich and I´m kommissar from administrative department of the Rheinland Federal Polizei.

Your application was examined and we decided to issue conditional approval. You may begin construction of Waldenbuch Shipping Facility, however following conditions must be met:

First, you will pay registration fee of 100 million credits to account RFP|Arsenal before the construction begins.

Second, the station will be placed near planet Stuttgart, but at least ten kilometers from planet docking and mooring points and also in same minimal distance from all trade lane rings around as well as Battleship Karlsruhe.

Also, you mentioned as purporse of the station shipping depot for diamonds. If that means uncut diamonds from nearby Omega-11 system, I recommend you to contact primary division of Daumann Heavy Construction (marked with tag DHC-) to discuss possible business cooperation. You may strike some special advantageous deal with their miners. And after all, Omega-11 is their property so if you plan to focus your trading on diamonds, it is useful to have good relations with them.

I hope everything is clear, if not, feel free to ask.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Kommissar Laurich

Guten Tag again, Sehr geehrter CEO Thalmann. It seems some misunderstanding happened between us about location of the base, I apologize for that. You have to understand that vicinity of planet Stuttgart is already area with high density of space traffic and we don´t want to make situation even more complicated by adding another base to the crossroad, increasing risk of accident which would block this vital intersection.

Also, even bases without weapon platforms are equipped with basic weapon turrets. While they don´t possess same destruction potential and ability to create area supremacy like weapon platforms, our experience from the past is that if any hostile will be moving in the area, the automatic defense system will start to fire all around and this can cause damage on nearby objects or passing ships, creating dangerous situations.

For this reason, current standardized distant requirement for modular bases is at least ten kilometers from any nearest space traffic objects with some small deviations, allowed which are considered on case-by-case basis.

For this reason, polizei have to refuse your request. However, after re-examining the situation around planet Stuttgart, we are willing to change distance conditions this way:

Your base is allowed to be placed near planet Stuttgart with miminal distance from its docking ring and mooring point kept at ten kilometers. However, miminal required distance from all rings of Stuttgart - New Berlin jump gate trade lane is lowered to 8,3 kilometers. Same applies to end ring of Stuttgart-Baden Baden trade lane, and its second ring in direction to Baden Baden must stay from the base at least seven kilometers. According to our measurement, this can be achieved by placing the base around 2,5 kilometers above Aalen´s back side, which should still keep your base within planet Stuttgart´s security perimeter.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Kommissar Laurich
