GREETINGS FUTURE ALTERRIANS (READ THE LAST POST FIRST) TODAY WE WILL BE DISCUSSING ALTERRIAN SHIPS AND STANDARD VESSELS. THESE WILL BE THE NEW SHIPS USED IN THE NEW TOWN AFTER THE RESET. ALL THE FOLLOWING SHIPS SHOWN IN THIS POST ARE PURELY COSMETIC AND SERVE NO REAL PURPOSE OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT THEY LOOK COOL AND YOUR NAME WILL BE ON THEM. MOST OF THE MONEY GAINED FROM THEM WILL BE USED TO SUPPORT ALTERRA AND U-TEK IND. SUNBEAM- THE SUNBEAM IS A MEDIUM STARSHIP, WITH IN AND OUT OF ATMOSPHERE CAPABILITIES. IT HAS MEDIUM OFFENSIVE REQUIREMENTS AND MAXIMUM DEFENSE REQUIREMENTS. STANDARD U-TEK SHEILD GENERATOR AND CLASS A HYPERDRIVE. MAINLY USED BY ALTERRA POLICE FORCES AND VIPS. ONE OF THE FASTER SHIPS OF THE ALTERRIAN FLEET. HELLDIVER- STOLEN EUTERIAN VESSEL UPGRADED AND MODIFIED BY U-TEK TO MEET ALTERRIAN STANDARDS. KNOWN FOR ITS ABILITY TO MOVE UP REALLY CLOSE TO THE SUN AND GATHER ITS ENERGY. UPGRADED WITH STANDARD HYPERDRIVE REQUIREMENTS AND MINIMUM DEFENSIVE/OFFENSIVE SYSTEMS. ORIGINAL DESIGNER UNKNOWN. USED BY ALTERRA FOR GATHERING SOLAR ENERGY AND SPYING ON EUTERIANS. ANDROMEDER- USED AS A STANDARD RECREATIONAL AND TRAVEL VESSEL. STANDARD HYPERDRIVE REQUIREMENTS. MINIMUM STORAGE REQUIREMENTS. LIMITED OFFENSIVE SYSTEMS. MEDIUM DEFENSE SYSTEMS. MADE FOR TRAVEL FOR UP TO 3 PEOPLE. KNOWN FOR ITS RARE ABILITY TO LEAVE THE SOLAR SYSTEM, AS MOST OTHER SHIPS ARE UNABLE TO PREFORM THIS MANEUVER. STANDARD U-TEK SHEILD GENERATORS. CYCLONE- CARGO TRANSPORT VESSEL. NOT MADE FOR SPEED. MAXIMUM DEFENSIVE AND OFFENSIVE SYSTEMS. MEANT FOR CARRYING PRECIOUS CARGO AND RARE ARTIFACTS, ALL WHILE KEEPING THEM SAFE FROM EUTERIANS. MAXIMUM SPEED IS SUB-LIGHT. THESE SHIPS HAVE BEEN KNOW TO MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEAR AFTER ATTEMPTING TO PASS LIGHT SPEED. ALTERRAS MAIN SCIENTIST PANEL SUGGESTS IT MIGHT BE DUE TO THE SHAPE OF THE VESSEL AND THE WAY IT WARPS LIGHT. AMPLIFIED/MODIFIED U-TEK SHEILD GENERATORS. I HAVE DESIGNED BUILT All OF THESE SHIPS MYSELF. I NEED YOUR HELP CHOOSING WHICH ONE WILL BE STANDARD FOR THE ALTERRA COLONY HERE ON AEM. VOTE FOR YOUR FAVORITES ABOVE. WHEN THE SERVER RESETS, I WILL MAKE A POST WITH MORE INFORMATION ON PURCHASING THESE SHIPS. BUT UNTIL THEN, ULTRASEB OUT...
I think if you made "driveways" or "landing pads" where they would be it could look cool. As well as randomly flying through the town. I think the sunbeam and cyclone look the most practical. Don't give up on this creativity. This is what is going to make AEM a home for many again. Thumbs up from me.
the landing pads were actually one of my original plans so i will definitely do that. probably made of cyan hardened clay and quartz stairs. and the ships flying around and stuff would be a nice touch as well. maybe some of the ships can be "dropping off crates" and whatnot. anyway, thanks for the kind words and suggestions. hope to see you this reset
