Cruiser Construction

[Alestone]

I am looking at the RP needed to build a cruiser. Talking to people is, of course, going to be a principle component, but I was trying to come up with a commodities list.

I've been through this once, but it was the attempt to SRP a Persephone for Star Enterprises by upgrading an existing ship. I don't think they are comparable, so I put the list below together from that list. A Corvo is roughly 1/7 of the Persephone, but I also figured there were some things missing. I would like input, and the reasoning behind it, on whether or not I have a reasonable list for a new construction.

Step 1: Framing and Basic Structure
-Aluminum: 5,000
-Basic Alloy: 10,000
-Industrial Materials: 5,000
-Scientists: 1,000

Step 2: Main Reactor Core
-Beryllium: 1,000

Step 3: The Engine Systems
-Cobalt: 1,000
-Energy Field Equipment: 1,000
-Engine Components: 10,000
-Fusion Diodes: 1,000
-High Temperature Alloy: 10,000

Step 4: Life Support
-Bio-Stability Monitors: 5,000
-Cryocubes: 5,000
-Gravity Field Stabilizers: 1,000
-Industrial Materials: 5,000
-Reinforced Alloy: 5,000
-Robotic Hardware: 5,000
-Xenobiotic Filter: 5,000

Step 5: Control Systems
-Industrial Materials: 5,000
-Nano-Capacitors: 5,000
-Optronics Arrays: 5,000
-Quantum Multiplexors: 5,000
-Reinforced Alloy: 10,000
-Shape-Memory Alloy: 5,000

Step 6: Exterior Armor Plating and Defenses
-Ablative Armor Plating: 10,000
-Industrial Materials: 5,000
-LASERs: 5,000
-Munitions: 5,000
-Nuclear Devices: 1,000
-Optronics Arrays 5,000
-Ship Hull Panels: 10,000
-Super Alloy: 10,000
-Ultralloy: 5,000

Totals:

-Ablative Armor Plating: 10,000
-Aluminum: 5,000
-Basic Alloy: 10,000
-Beryllium: 1,000
-Bio-Stability Monitors: 5,000
-Boron: 1,000
-Cobalt: 2,000
-Critical Temperature Alloy: 5,000
-Cryocubes: 11,000
-Energy Field Equipment: 6,000
-Fusion Diodes: 1,000
-Gravity Field Stabilizers: 6,000
-High Temperature Alloy: 10,000
-Industrial Materials: 30,000
-Iridium: 1,000
-LASERs: 6,000

-Munitions: 5,000
-Nano-Capacitors: 5,000
-Nuclear Devices: 1,000
-Optronics Arrays: 11,000
-Plutonium: 1,000
-Quantum Multiplexors: 6,000
-Reinforced Alloy: 15,000
-Robotic Hardware: 15,000
-Scientists: 1,000

The Power To Get You There!

Doesn't really matter.

You can go for 5k ship hull panels, 5k engine components and 100 crew and still be able to get SRP.

[Freeroamer]

But I like the idea it might be a bit overkill

226k commodities total. Seems to be too few for a Persephone, too much for a Corvo... again, what do you want to build?

First you should think about how many people will be crewing the ship. Cruisers of today have about 2-300 I believe, spaceships have 5? Next, think about tonnage, I always use the example that 1 cargo unit = 10 tons. Work out how much a real life cruiser weighs, how much a spaceship weighs, and how much airplanes weigh and go from there. Just how I would do it.

If things go the way I am working toward, I would be going for a Corvo.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Cape_St...28CG-71%29

Displacement: Approx. 9,600 long tons (9,800 t) full load
Length: 567 feet (173 m)
Beam: 55 feet (16.8 meters)
Draught: 34 feet (10.2 meters)

Figure even with 1 cargo unit = 1 ton (very realistic) You would only need max of about 15,000 tons to complete the ship. Especially since a Corvo is a rather small cruiser/destroyer. It's up to you, it is your RP after all.

Half would be enough. Actually I'd say you could throw out most of the minor commodities. I myself work with 13 only, the normal versions of base building commodities of my choice.

Don't forget u can get creative with ur rp
The community's don't have to be pre disco u can make ur own if its rp based

EX: Sirius Pirate Cruise Drive
EX: Star drive Hull Plates
