Public Transport System

Ok, as stated in the news article, the Order wants to build a public transport system. This is a fairly large scale project and will take time to set-up. This will be the general discussion for the system. First off, pilots. Who is willing to be pilots for this system? There will be payment, though the Order has not worked out a financial budget for this system.

i believe this is the ship class we should use. it has one weak weapon and poses no threat. speed would need to be upgraded, but it should do the trick

YT-1930 Transport


Designed by: Correllians
Ownership: None
Weapons:
1 Laser Cannon
Carries: 12 passengers
Requires: 2 Transport Pilot NPCs
Speed: 2
Days to Build: 4
Cost: 850 Credits

also, any factions willing to donate moneys and things to the cause would be nice, re-imbursement would happen over time

i will provide NPC pilots out of my own credits

well, would the ship pass, through nal'hutta?
that system is currently off limets by the authorisation of the colony defence program, and will be open once all construction is done. Untill then the ship would be escourted by fighters through that system, Hutt space that is controled by the republic would need an escourt, as it is notyet secured and not safe to travel through
I would be willing to provide 1 fighter to always escourt that ship, if i ever get my fighters.

I think the pilot should be independant when not travilling through faction space,
there should also be a series of routs, and times that ships go wear,
eventually, i would like to see un armed capital ship (like jet liners, and ocian cruse ship), that would serve as air busses or cruse ships, for vacation on the game, cruse ships!

I might also buy a ship and donate it to this cause, with my personal credits.

i think the ship sould be this,
Ministry Class Orbital Shuttle


Designed By: Unknown
Ownership: New Republic,Jedi Order
Weapons:
None
Carries: 72 Passengers
or
10 Light Vehicles
Requires: 2 Transport Pilot NPCs
Hull: 250
Shields: 0
Speed: 0 (non-hyperspace)
Days to Build: 4
Cost: 1,200 Credits


we could equip it with a hyperspace engin from the custom parts, and give it 2 turbo laser turrents.

this ship has one tiny laser, it is going to do no damage to anything. the route hasn't yet been determined, but if fighter escort is required, then I am saddened at the paranoia and mistrust the republic has. this is for use by all people and if the republic is unwilling to support galactic peace, then the Order will have to remove themselves from the treaty with the republic

where is that ship?

oh sorry, found it, yeah, that one is better

wait, it needs to have hyprdrive

It doesn't need guns... it's a neutral transport so...

And the escorts, it's just a needed precausion... we've received reports of dangerous activities down there and that region is locked down... Also due to the construction of a new military base (Nal'Hutta)...

currently there are no weaponless transports with hyperspace capabilities, so that yt will have to do. and escorts are not needed for a public transport ship. does a bus need a cop escort?

well, in other countries, like france in ww2, german military units had muiltiple cheak points nad escouts through war zones, and close to military basses.
also, off topic, we need embassies on capital planets,
back on topic,
Al Strider, you could add a new transport, if you want i could send some suggestions?

it's not a matter of suggestions as a lot of people believe, it is mostly time. and france is a bad example, as it was occupied by the Nazis and was wartime. this is a gesture of peace seeing as we are not really at war yet.

well, people also cant go near military instalations in the world, so be glad we even let you in the system, also, the escourt is for the protection of other players, what if a republic officer was on that transport, or even an order jedi, and since the system is not secure a rebelion agent could swiftly fly in, destroy the ship and be on its merry way, also that ship has not hull or shields, neather do any fighters.

What ever ship your using you can charge credits depending on the journey. There should be 2 kinds of transport, 1 goes on a specfic route around the universe, the other you can go to one specific planet but it costs more credits.

like a taxi, the one with specific planets costs by the day.

the whole point is so that the ship poses no threat to anyone. it is cowardice to whoever does attack it, and no doubt whoever attacked would meet disastrous retaliation by the other two sides. now like i said, it will be going to major worlds, including homeworlds as they are popular tourist attractions.

but if the repulic is unwilling to participate in an act of peace, then i might as well join up with the rebellion as you will no longer be friends of the ORder, because it shows you are opposed to peace.

ok lets put it this way, in foregn countries, us solgers partrol highways, have cheakpoints, and escourt people, if that wasent there, do you know how many cars would be blown up on the side of the road, we are trying to make shure that all players are safe in unsecure space., if you truly dont want the escourt, i wont push it, but 1 cheakpoint is required as it is near a military instalation.

and how many suicide bombings have occured in this game....?

none "yet"

and how many do you anticipate considering the fact there are no bombs?

well, the cheak point is required by all ships, with the exception of, if it is republic, rules for the cheak point on nal hutta are in the nal'hutta thred under planets

well, your fooliush stubborness prevails, the ferry will not pass through nal hutta, but if it receives this treatement from any other republic planet, consider the order and republic no longer allies

use this:

Sentinel Class Landing Craft

8 Lasers Cannons

and remove the weapons

too many weapons

no just this planet, just untill its fully developed, you may pass through the planet.

Al Strider wrote:too many weapons

i said remove the weapons.

so far there is no way to remove stuff from ships. for now the yt something or other is the best choice. besides, there's not even 10 active players, so passenger capacity isn't an issue

order ships, as they do not carry rebelion and independant players are welcome through without an inspection.
