Good luck. It costs over 200K, last time I checked. That's why I have the TOS wig, not the TNG one.
Well, when you returned to DS12 and did the whole 'We've done the mission, now give us monies biatch' message, Ryugi was supposed to reply as DS12 and give you the money, confirming the end of the mission. I'm assuming Ryugi was a lil' bit busy, so, yah.

[BOomeek]

Okay, I was just wonderin' how it all went down.
I'm patient; it's cool. : D
And yeahhhh... I don't have that much.
I spent all my money on avi-art from a friend so...
Wishlist it is! heh

[Dr Henry McCoy]

Ryugi's pretty good with this sort of thing - I imagine it won't take long.
No, nor me. I'm going to have to wait a LONG while before I have anywhere near that much. Still, here's hoping it falls catastrophically in price. mrgreen

[Ryugi Kazamaru]

I'm really busy Boo. Go ahead and give yourself the reward and I'll take the mission off the roster as completed. =3

I'm actually trying to decide whether or not to get a patrol ship for Obsidian - I've narrowed the possibilities to a Danube, Nova or a Connie, but I'm not sure which to go for, or in fact whether I want one. Any thoughts?

Nova. High movement priority. Low upkeep. Has very good overall coverage and you can upgrade its offensive capabilites pretty well, though it will lack on the defensive side a bit.

Combine that with 5/10 fighters/bombers from a ground or spacebased Hanger and you got one heck of a system defense to hold out until the big boys get back.

Those were the pros I had in mind, but I was kinda conflicted, mainly because a Connie has the same phaser coverage, though it can equip better phasers, more than double the torpedo capacity upgraded, it has a much higher cruising and emergency speed . . . versus 15% more upkeep and two tiers of m. prior between them. It's a hard choice. Especially when one considers that the Nova can land and be used as a turret, if I were going up against land troops for instance.
And the Nova can't equip Ablative Armor OR Regen. Shielding - according to the Upgrades list. Whereas the Connie can equip both.

By the way - Crnobog? You. Are. Made. Of. WIN! *glomps* blaugh

[mewdude01]

I bought myself a Connie. biggrin I'm going to use it as a salvage vessel till I get enough for a colony ship at least 1 turret and the Improved Warp Coils. Then I might "liberate" some people of their excess material goods. xd

[Dr Henry McCoy]

Mew, I suppose it goes without saying that my ship would own your ship. blaugh Now that the obligatory 'new-ship-smell' warning is out of the way, yay! Connie! And you know you don't need Improved Warp Coils? You're an Indie, not a Fed after all.

[BOomeek]

No problems, Ryugi.
Thanks. =]
Gromit, I'll be online for a while but I may not post for a bit because I have to bake a cake.
omnomnom

[mewdude01]

Really? No new Warp coils needed? Sweet! I'm going to go after easy targets anyway.

Then put the money that would be used for Regen shielding and ablative armor into Class III upgrades, you'd save a penny too.

[mewdude01]

Like anybody in a fighter. twisted

[Dr Henry McCoy]

Remember what I said, mew. *Gowron eyes*
And no worries, Boomer. I'll be out for twenty minutes or so, anyway - popping down the shops with my mum. 3nodding

[mewdude01]

I wonder if we can use Habitat stations to research Illegal (by fed law), and powerful weapons? This is the beta quadrant after all. And a subspace shockwave cannon would be godly for system defence.
