Re: TDM vs P&N
2420.0:
Minerals are very scarce in dominion territory these days, and the construction of the new Furies is being delayed because of it.
A large number of old escort class warriors have been retired, and production contracts everywhere are not being renewed.
Almost 40% of our military is out of service now, due to damage or early retirements.
The political situation outside our borders is decaying as well. There are at least four separate wars that have broken out, and all of our allies are involved in one way or another.
Tales are told of the ever increasing wealth of the Vaxin Consortium, but we can only hope they are lies or at least over exaggerations.
Only two positive points of news recently. First, our scientists have made breakthroughs in the energy shield technology being employed by the Vaxin.
The physics of the fields are calculable now, and engineers have improved the armor-shield boundary efficiency to 60%. You'd have to ask a physics professor to tell you what that really means, but from what I'm told, that level of efficiency makes the devices rival our best pure-armor plates.
The second bit of good news is that Phoenix has been recognized by the military high command. The construction ship which arrived to haul off the Vaxin prisoners bore with it the codes for a two-star Blazing Fury III, which has been given to Phoenix with full honours.
Phoenix's wingmen will receive BF3 codes as soon as the budget will allow for it.
