The equipment and stuff that goes on the ship is the most expensive part! I wont be building that many ships, infact if you look in the long run, if I spend 30 trillion, I'm spending more on the space elevator than I did save, so I'm better off just not doing this. To put it into perspective, and titanium ship base cost if 800 billion, and you say I'd cut off 560 billion, around 50 ships I would have to build before I get any profit, and they would be titanium, not very useful in the long run. While the carbon nanotube and above ships, I think the most expensive is 5600 billion, this would knock off 3920, this does seem rather cost effective, but it's still rather costly. Especially as I can't build these ships properlly yet, and I wont be able to for a long time if I decide to put 100% of my budget into this, and this project would still take somewhere around 300 years. Still doesn't even take off the most expensive part, a shield generator, size dependent, and the next ship I plan to build is a miner/frigate like ship, and it would cost me above a trillion just to buy the shield generator, defenses and engines would probably cut to another two trillion. I'm not angry that the ships are actually expensive, it does allow people to not overpower everything, well not yet anyway. I'm just annoyed by the fact that an extremely large wonder, I think the second largest in the game currently, is going to take this long. If you want I'll allow the speed up function to get removed for this wonder and it'd give me another 25 years construction time. Though this has to apply to everyone..

Look how exciting it is now though, nothing is happening. No, people only want to stay on Eath cause they didn't really think of researching space technology, and now that the people who did think about it have it, we can't do much cause people want to stay. That price would even take the richest country 100 years almost to get, probably around 80 or 90, but thats how long it takes to learn cold fusion, and thats extremely theoretical and a hard tech. 30 trillion can buy the planet at this day and age probably, it is beyond all of the GDP's of all countries combined. Crazy, but I guess I'ma just have to wait paciently and hope that people gain an interest and help.

I thought most of that gets worked off during construction, but ok, I'll start paying it off now. Another 300 days O-o..... A bit costly if you ask me...

India announces that their space elevator is practically finished, it will hopefully open space fully now and allow construction of ships to be easier, and much, much less costly.

Retroviruses are dangerous O_o

Burning hands the log, or does it make it a bigger problem?

My guy is literally inches from death!!! WHAT THE [bleep] noooooooooooooo :'(

Timed out again :S

No connection!

We're all competent enough, hopefully. The dice holds my virtual characters life in its hands O_O Can't connect, times out :S

Earth is suprisingly useful in campaigns.. It's just his lack of common sense that makes him so damn good.

Nothing is unkillable, I'm sure the zombie virus can get killed with other stuff. If not, sufficient heat or cold.

I guess, but I named it East Indian, to reflect on that too :P. Hmmm it is known as either, we don't really mind.

Oh I thought corps was short for corporation Mmkay, East Indian Space Corporation it is then.

Hmmm I guess, I just like corps better.

India uses geothermal and solar. Also cold fusion is so close so we'll be safe for energy for almost forever. Edit - Don't want to double post so I will just edit this post to include some rp for my country. With the Mars mission successful, and now four new cities have opened up on the Martian surface. Serious debate has begun in the Central Congress of India whether or not space will be the new horizon for the Indian empire. While these discussions have been going on, a small company, originally selling the materials for the spacecrafts, under the name of Indicraft CO, has had a sudden expansion, the success of the mission has allowed business to boom, and eventually they became the most grossing company in India, and one of the largest in the world. Abdul Patil, a high ranking official in the Indian government, with his own army to that of the Indian main army. Seeing the potential of this new company plotted a diabolical scheme which would seem him the new leader of the Indian empire. Within the night, Abdul had his army, which had elite special forces within, assassinate the former C.E.O Indicraft CO. Appointing a trusted henchman as the new C.E.O of the company, investigations were done in the murder of the former C.E.O. A police enquiry pointed to the henchman being responsible for the murder, as well as some Indian terrorists. Abdul ordered the execution of his henchman and released a public statement saying that Indicraft CO will become and government liscenced company due to the company being to valuable to India to be in the middle of public, and possibly forign hands, as one of the new possible C.E.O's was was a Greek businessman. With Indicraft CO now under his control, Abdul began to move into the final steps of his secret revolution in India. After a few months, the government decided it would be ok for the company to released from such tight government inspection, but was not ok with a non government official running the company. Abdul seeing this as his chance, bribed most of the senators to vote in the favour of Abdul to become the new C.E.O of the company. The votes were in and Abdul was ahead with 70% of the votes going to him. Economy troubles began when the government realised the space program actually took a large chunk out of the Indian funds, and possible recession was looming. Indicraft's business was still booming, grossing much more than any Indian company to date, and even more than the governemnt, Abdul saw this as his oppertunity, and began to buy out the governemnt. Kumar Patel, current president of India, saw this as a threat and ordered Abdul to stand down, or he would have him forcefully removed from his office. Abdul knew there was little Kumar could do to stop him from buying out the government, having been bribing all of the officials with vast amounts of cash, and even having an elite army with the capability of fighting the Indian army, he continued his plot. Kumar ordered the removal of Abdul, but none of the officials voted in his favour, saying Abdul was saving the country from economy failiure, and with this, Abdul in the middle of the same night, infiltrated Kumar's house and assassinated him. The news hit everywhere, a new vote was in, and seeing as Abdul had the most power in the country, and was even saving the country from complete downfall, the public saw him as the best option, and the polls came in at 94% Abdul support. He was quickly voted into power, and decided something that had never been done before in the history of man. He merged a company with the government, and instead of having a democracy, there is now a chair of executives that will now run the country. The country is one super company, which now branches off into many many different fields that regard the country, such as food, homes and police force. It is known as the East Indian Space Corp, the largest and most powerful company in existance, with the C.E.O Abdul owning 51% of the shares. The only way this effects anyone outside India, is that Indian shares are now up for sale, with the shares you maybe able to buy out India and take it as your own (yeah I know this means that I could get annexed if you just buy the crap outta me, but I decide if that happens) The new flag is

Ross n Mather are my homies :P. They're probably the only people I might go out my way to save.

I am only loyal to my master, as I haven't got one, who should my loyalty be to? I mean were all here to win... I have friends but not someone I'm going to go out of my way to save unless it would benefit me.

They will be repaid, and have free access to my land...

500 Billion I believe.

Confirmed, it was the rest of my budget left over from space and research.

Who's ESE?

Uhh the fact that your not actually wanted on this thread, cause you take no part in it, NOTHING you say will ever take effect, and you're just poking holes where there doesn't need to be any. Perfect example: Plasma shields.

Hopefully not XD. Though if he whipes me out, I'll just take everyone's land in Mars away and live on there.

Nex, someone could give you some land. Maybe Grim ;) He could easily relinquish Australia.
