Excellent.
Our spacefleet currently consists of purely tactical vessels, and on the small side too. Our largest vessel is the Imperial class fighter carriers which can hold up to 70 starfighters and is equipped with heavy armaments itself. The next largest vessel in service is the Zion class, which hold 7 people.
ASS has been contracted to design a new class of vessel especially for the training and return voyage to Giess.

May I enquire as to how you constructed the spaceships? Were they built in dry docks in space? or here on ground? Or were they constructed like the Space stations, ie. compartment by compartment.?

the our fighters are constructed assembly-line style on the ground. since they're capable of atmospheric flight they're able to take off from the ground and go into orbit or wherever they're needed as the military's makeshift airforce. the fighter factory is located in Macon. We have Ground Shipyards in Pavleton that can construct Zion, Nebula and Virgo classes since they are small enough and capable of atmospheric flight.
The Natopia Planitia Orbital Shipyards are where we constuct the larger vessels and modular bases. The Imperial class fighter carriers were constructed in orbit as were the modules of our Tarsican research base. Future ASS ships, which will be built on a larger scale than the current sale, will be built solely in orbit as our infrastructure allows it.

Ah i c. And congrats for getting a base on Tarsica. I wasn't aware that Tarsica was open to public now.

thank you. It was opened maybe a month or two ago.... And when it was every other nation instantly had a fleet of spaceships up in orbit when we had been building our infrastructure and fleet for the 6 months prior to news of Tarsica's opening -_-

lol... yes we know all about aryez here... he was a citizen for a bit. dont mention his name around our Prime Minister (he was always awkwardly flirting with her...) fortunately the plans were drawn in pencil and were sort of technical-looking

The flirting was actually several years ago, I think in 2004 or maybe last year, maybe even 2003, I can't remember the year I came back. Most likely 2004. Aryez was a citizen here well after that.
