Commentary
This vessel was designed specifically to be the backbone of the Sovereignty Navy. The Bird-of-Prey is designed to be cheap and easily produced, and is designed to replace the heavier ships. They are the the deciding force in the ORS navy.OOC - I removed the cloak. I will add it on in a seperate R&D at a later date.

No it doesn't. No it doesn't. No it doesn't.
Read the thread Drayson - specificly Kas's post.
#23 9:01pm 05/10/03
It still takes 20 days to R&D, you know.
#22 8:00pm 05/10/03
Approved
#21 7:57pm 05/10/03
That is what I wanted in the first place....lol
I understand and agree.
#20 7:54pm 05/10/03
Fine, then heres what Im going to do, I will approve this now, but any Threads that start between now and when the cloak is APPROVED, the BOP will not have any cloaking capability, is that understood?
#19 7:52pm 05/10/03
Of course I'm in a hurry to start new threads with this thing. I'm in a war and the Bird of Prey is the backbone of my fleet. If I am attacked now, without the reapproval, I am in serious trouble.
#18 7:50pm 05/10/03
Sounds to me like your in a hurry to start more threads in which to use this, becuase this reapproval doesnt change any threads its in, so I suggest you put that creative energy to work on Cloak technology instead of new thread write ups.
#17 7:48pm 05/10/03
Can't we do this some other time? I don't have time to design a cloak right now. But I do need this thing approved.
#16 7:47pm 05/10/03
No can do for approval yet then, if this ship will be cloaking in the future then Im going to need to see the cloak it uses and how it works.
#15 7:46pm 05/10/03
No. But I will R&D a cloak for it in the future.
#14 7:17pm 05/10/03
So let me get this straight, the BOP no longer cloaks?
#13 7:13pm 05/10/03
Can't really see any problems with it, minus the cloak.
So, APPROVED.
#12 6:26pm 04/10/03
Removed the cloak. I'll make a seperate R&D for it later.
#11 6:25pm 04/10/03
Removed the cloak.
#10 11:19pm 02/10/03
The Armek turbolasers are just upgraded turbolaser emplacements. Just a fancy way of saying 'turbolaser cannon'.
Drayson, you raise a good point. I'll get to it a little later.
