A new world...any room?

Ok fleetmaster, thats the basic beginnings of an idea but you need to add a little more meat to your concept. I know of several worlds of the top of my head that will fit your needs, so that at least isn't a problem.
Do the space docks cater to imperial warships as well as merchantmen.
I should also point out the difficulty in ship building, its apparrently to expensive for anyone other than the imperium, so you need a good reason why your world can do it.

Hey Fleetmaster, welcome to the forum! Whilst it's an interesting idea for a world, you should know that there are only two shipyards in the Anargo sector that produce ships with warp drives. This would be Anargo Secondus II (or something) and Proteus.
You may want to ask Kage about the first world though, since it's located in his system. Maybe he would like some help in developing it.

That works. Of course, you'd need some warp capable ships to tow the freighters to their customers.

Why have this kind of industry on a dead rock of a planet though? You could get the same conditions on the moon of a populated planet, or a planet in the same system as an industry world, like Archaios or Salinas, or a hive world like Meksum. It would be cheaper to have this shipyard in the same system as their suppliers.


Obviously


Well, I seriously suggest that you look at a system that has already been developed, and see if you want to make Chavonis the moons of a developed planet, or even another planet in the same system as a developed planet, or the moon of a gas giant in the same system as a developed planet... erm... know what I mean?

Only two systems build ships? Are those military ships or merchant vessels as well? The only reason I was asking is because there is a system within the Sargassos Subsector that has not only the tech level to support the production of large vessels.

While I can agree that the drive systems may only be produced in two places, it strikes me as odd that them may not have additional fabrication facilities within the sector. That might actually make for an interesting system that builds the ships, but is dependent upon Anargo Secundus or proteus to provide the warp drives.

Another thought migt be to have the planet as a repair facility. Perhaps they produce fighters, drop ships and other smaller craft, but also have exstensive drydock facilities to service both military and civilian vessels. While you may not want facilites that build ships all over the place, it is necessary to have drydock and repair facilites in strategic locations.

Like I said, ask Kage if you want to help out with the world that builds starships. If you want to develop a planet that builds non-warp capable ships such as intra system freighters, there are many different systems that are appropriate. Check out the different subsector forums, and see if you find any systems to your liking.


No point in working up stats before you've chosen a planet


All warp capable ships are built in those two locations, I think.


Don't pay too much heed to the UWP stats, Destecado. Though some worlds show as having a very high tech level, Kage has set the upper tech limit for the Imperium and the Adeptus Mechanicus specifically.


Well, depending on the size and qualities of the warp drive, it might be very difficult to build a ship and then install a warp drive later. And of course, you need a special towing ship that can carry the hull of the new ship through the warp. If you're building a barge or a cruiser, this could be very expensive.

Still, I can definitely see this done, with certain industrial worlds building hulls or various components for starships which are later assembled in Proteus or Anargo Secondus. Mostly for smaller sized ships, of course. Caravels, cutters, etc.


Definitely. Of course, it would be cheaper to have these drydock facilities in the outermost moons or planets of an Imperial system with a solid industry, than a distant star system with no civilisation except for the dry docks themselves.


Feel free. Building fighters and bombers isn't limited to a single world in the sector
Don't forget the non-military products of the planet, by the way (although I'm not saying you are )


You can see 'finished' worlds in the Archive forum. Besides those, there are several worlds that are being worked on, which you can find in the forums of the different subsectors. The Anargo subsector, the Archaios subsector, the Castellan subsector, etc.


Nope, sounds good
