Dear Guildsmen, Dear Friends of the Colonial Republic,
Stephen Schwerdtfeger
IMG Guildmaster
We are proud to publizise the results of the close cooperation between IMG and Colonial scientists in the Yuma Floating City Project. This ground-breaking project will not only give a new home to the citizens of the Colonial Republic, but also help to develop Coronado and take it one step further into a glorious future.
I'll not bore you with the 200-something pages of the scientist report, but only present a short part of it here.
I'll cut the presentation short, in order not to get lost in details on the superb work that IMG and Colonial scientists have done.
Testing of these constructions is underway while the groundwork of the floating city is being laid while we are speaking. A prototype is being built, and should be ready to transfer to Yuma for testing in the following week.
I am looking forward to more ground-breaking results to this cooperative megaproject of taming Yuma and wish all those who have a part in it the best of luck in their endeavours!

Project: Floating Spaceport
Picture/Model:
Description: The Floating Spaceport serves as a logistic link between inner-atmospheric and marine transportation. Transport craft can dock at the floating construction to unload passengers and goods. The basic construction (as shown in the model) has 2 Hangar Modules, which can be upgraded to 4.
Building Time: 2 months (estimated)
Building Costs 2.200.000.000 Credits (estimated)
Hangar Modules: per module (maximum/Spaceport = 4) the following ships can be serviced
- 4 large transport vessels up to 5000 standard cargo units
- 8 medium transport vessels up to 3600 standard cargo units
- 32 freighter class vessels up to 3600 standard cargo units
Logistics Hub: Automated unloading and loading of cargo carrier ships is done on the Cargo Terminal Modules. Theses are attached to the Hangar Modules and protected by the ring contruction of the roof. Standard space station software and hardware has been successfully adapted to the maritime environment and should make a smooth cargo transport from space-craft to marine craft possible.
