Barges for Sale

Now is the time to own a bit of nostalgia.

The Staff has decided to put the Barge on the open market.

Seeing as the price is a staggering 150 million (150,000,000) credits. It will require the Admins to give you it and remove the cost of it from your Banks.

We will accept the cost of it in credits and/or Science Data (SD will be deemed to be 30,000 credits per unit).

You will need to make a Restart Ship with the required ID.

Use the following Template in a Player's Request to obtain one:

Code:

[b]Request for a Barge[/b]

[b]1. Name of your Ship to be transformed in to a Barge:[/b]

[b]2. The name of the ships holding the purchase fee and amount:[/b]
[b]a.[/b]
[b]b.[/b]
[b]c.[/b]
[b]d.[/b]
[b]e.[/b]
[b]f.[/b]
[b]g.[/b]

Barge Information

Designed and manufactured to serve in dark corners of space where the closest friendly base is but a memory; the Barge is a mobile factory, station and refinery designed to operate independently of external support.

Staggering operational and manufacturing costs prevent vessels of this type from being used for any but the most specific and urgent need, as its sheer bulk of size and intense jump hole destabilizing gravity well prevents it from being utilized in any environment but deep space.

Stats
Gun/Turret Mounts: 0/7
Base Armor: 1700000
Cargo Space: 30,000
Power Output: 7500/90000
Batteries/NanoBots: 800/800
Impulse Speed: 25
Cruise Speed: 90
Equipment Mounts: CD CM

Time take to reach Cruise Speed: approx.180 seconds.

It has no slots to mount: Type 1/2/3 Equipment.
So only what can be mounted on the CM/CD Slots.

Notes:
- Your ID may preclude the purchase of a Barge.
- Barge cannot use cloaking devices.

- Barge cannot use Trade Lanes

• Players can now test the Barge in singleplayer:
  
  
  1. Start a new singleplayer game
     
  2. Open the chatbox and enter these two commands:
     
     Code:

     b Cambrai
cash 9999999999
  3. Buy a Barge from the ship dealer
     
  4. Use the base command again to move to your desired location:
     
     Code:

     b Manhattan
  • Note: Base names are case-sensitive, if you get a "Base not found" error make sure the right letters are capitalized.
  
  
• Barge owners can now request any of these ships to show up as moored on their Barge:
   
  • "Stork" Civilian Train
    
  • "Mastodon" Liberty Train
    
  • "Shetland" Bretonia Train
    
  • "Colossus" Rheinland Train
    
  • "Ryuujin" Kusari Train
    
  • "Pachyderme" Gallia Train
  
  This is a purely cosmetic option and doesn't impact handling or other stats of the ship.

Some restart reps are pretty bad & opening up the rep sheet flying a Barge with
the whole Impulse Speed of 25 will be a right old pain, we'd need another 10 years
Skorak to put them back the way we had them in the first place.

Thanks for re-considering the barge availability again even by that insane price! lol
I have a question, please if you don't mind

As a space businessman , I wanted to ask if also individuals can buy the offered barges.
Since some individuals like me, run massive logistic/fabrication business with POBs and barges would help...
Actually would help better if not flipped by NPCs.... by any way can an individual buy it to or only factions?

• How many Type 1/2/3 mount slots
  
• Cruise charge time
  
• etc
