George Payne whips out his trusty calculator before answering, "Well, considering both the time required to get the shipyard up to capacity and the time to build a Jenner, I estimate that it will take..."
Payne Punches some numbers into the calculator, "Overflow years! No, wait, that's not it. One second please."
Payne takes out a larger calculator this time from the depths of the bottom left drawer of his desk, "Error Years! Shoot, that's not it either. Well, you get the point. It won't be any time soon, but if you really want an estimation I can get it for you."
This time, Payne simply leans back on his chair with his hand on his chin, "Ow my brain hurts. But the answer is about 1 year 10 months to get the shipyard up to capacity and 6 months to build the Jenner, so today is July 1, 2064 and the ships will be rolling off the shipyard at around November 2066."

[ooc]How stupid I am! While writing up my message, I got confused between the Colony and Freighter. I of course wanted five freighters and a colony ship.[/ooc]

Ooops, I'm afraid the note my assistant gave me had a typo in it. Of course, we request five Jenner and a single Conestoga. The Conestoga will be name Conestoga, while the five Jenner will be called Jenner, Wagon, Cart, Train and Truck.

[ooc]For the purposes of RP, I have decided to assume anyone who doesn't specifically say they are sending me a message is actually in my office for a meeting.[/ooc]

Upon hearing Senator Tho's statements, Payne delivered his advisement, "I am loath to question one as skilled in the ways of commerce as you, but are you sure you want five colony ships? At our current rate of production, it will take about 2.3 years just to get one colony ship off the shipyard making it take over 11 years to get all those requests filled, but only about half of a year to get each Jenner up and running. Additionally, is just one cargo ship enough? The private sector will have ships for us to use, but will there be enough to meet demand? These decisions I will leave for you to decide upon, but I hope you will consider my advice. You have a long time to consider as the Commercial Shipyards will not be building anything for about 2 years."

"The 100 units of housing for Mars will be built in lieu of building mines as I believe that any shortages are at least a little way down the road."

Report to Factory Managers

40% 1 Commercial Shipyard
25% 1 Military Academy
25% Construction Factories
10% 100 Infrastructure
0% Manned Mines
0% Idle
[ooc]Just modify the percentage for mines to 0% and add a 100 Infrastructure Project at 10% so as to avoid having .35 of a mine.[/ooc]

After Infrastructure is complete:

40% 1 Commercial Shipyard
25% 1 Military Academy
25% Construction Factories
10% Manned Mines
0% Idle

After 1 Commercial Shipyard is complete: follow previous reports.

Report to Commercial Shipyard once completed:
Add 10,000 tons to capacity then,
Add 10,000 tons to capacity then,
Add 1,000 tons to capacity then,
Add 500 tons to capacity then,
Retool for Conestoga then,
Begin Construction on Conestoga and,
Add extra Slipway

While this meeting was going on, Murphy realized that he had no idea who the Governor of Earth was and sent out a request, in Payne's name of course, to be informed about who the Governor was and his skills.
[ooc]No screenshot needed, just the attributes of the Governor of Earth.
Also, can I have this moved to the Ministry board?[/ooc]

I'm confused, I was sure our designs reached your office.

Here they are: the Jenner class Freighter from Ushinov Design and the Conestoga class Colony Ship from Starion Heavy Industries, both ships of 31,250 tons.

As soon as a shipyard is ready production should start on the Conestoga class. Ships are to be named Conestoga, Oxen, Mule, Horse and Donkey.
A single Jenner class Colony ship should also be produced, but it can wait as I hope the private sector will fill in the gap. It shall be named Jenner.

I would also like to request 100 units of safe, airtight housing for our future colonists on Mars (Infrastructure).

June 1, 2063
It was a dark and stormy night
While the Ministry of Survey was celebrating, George Payne still had some work to do before trying to sneak into the party. He still did not have any confirmation from Commerce on what ship to begin to build or start expanding the shipyard for. The closest to a confirmation was a suggestion that the designs have been forwarded to the sub-committee of design Selection. He sent a message to that effect to the Ministry of Commerce and looked outside and requested a umbrella from his assistant Nathanial Murphy.

He also decided that a more thorough review of the assets available to the Ministry of Infrastructure was necessary for not only his own Ministry, but to better facilitate the activities of the entire Federation. Therefore, he dispatched the workers in the Ministry to commence a massive operation to count all the Mines, Construction Factories, Ordinance Factories, and other Trans-Newtonian Industries on the Earth, and a census to be conducted,
[ooc]Essentially, I would like a screenshot of the Summery tab of the Economics Window.[/ooc]

February 1, 2063
Dear Journal,
With the plan laying starting to end, George Payne had little to do in the month following his appointment than to spruce up the office and go observe the buildings being worked on. Over the month of January, a new filing cabinet had been placed behind his desk and to the right to store copies of the reports he had given out, but nothing else had been done as his old office had been pretty bare as well. All in all, it had been a pretty boring month in the Ministry of Infrastructure. *ding* "Finally!"

In came the first message since Payne had been sent a plea from he factory managers to stop asking them how construction was going. 5 times. The message recorded by Nathanial Murphy read as follows:

"It is with great excitement that I give the orders to finally give Sori Shipyard its first orders. Today, February 1, 2063, marks a new dawn for our great nation, a dawn that will never see the sun go down. Today, we being construction on the first two Trans-Newtonian Spacecraft, the Columbus-class John D Rockefeller and Peter Munk. Immediately after those two ships leave the shipyard, I want not one, but two more Columbus-class ships laid down on the Shipyard to fully utilize our two slipways. One will be the William K D'Arcy and the other will have its name be decided anyway. Although the Ministry of Survey tells me that only three are necessary, a fourth could be built at no great cost to either time, as a third would require another round of ship construction anyway, or minerals, as the ships are so small."

With the momentous message done, Payne immediately ordered a bottle of champagne to be uncorked for use in celebration, but Murphy brought nothing more than a simple cup of tea.

TO: Minster for Infrastructure
FROM: Minister of Surveys

Minister we have selected a survey design which we would like to commission, although we do need to wait for the Commerical Thermal Drive to be created, I believe all the other components are ready to go. Could you proceed with building as fast as possible, I know in a private meeting we committed to the idea of two survey ships, but the size of the survey ships are smaller then first thought and hoping to squeeze in a 3rd if at all possible.

We have decided to award Starion Heavy Industries the contract the design is as follows

Code: [Select]
Columbus class Surveyor    1,750 tons     67 Crew     158.5 BP      TCS 35  TH 62  EM 0
1771 km/s     Armour 1-12     Shields 0-0     Sensors 1/1/0/1     Damage Control Rating 1     PPV 0
Maint Capacity 57 MSP    Max Repair 100 MSP

DaZmar Nova E1 (1)    Power 62.5    Fuel Use 10%    Signature 62.5    Armour 0    Exp 1%
Fuel Capacity 5,000 Litres    Range 51.4 billion km   (336 days at full power)

AVT Electronics Geological Survey Sensors (1)   1 Survey Points Per Hour

This design is classed as a Commercial Vessel for maintenance purposes

Full component list is as follows:
2.6x Chemicals Unlimited! Duranium Durasteel Armor
1x DaZmar Nova E1 commercial engine
1x Life Systems Crew Quarters - Small
1x Arkayan Command Module
1x Sori Fuel Storage - Tiny
1x General Dynamics Engineering Spaces
1x AVT Electronics Bridge
The commission name of the ships should be as followed in the order

John D Rockefeller
Peter Munk
William K D'Arcy [ooc]can drop the ' if it interferes[/ooc]

TO:  Minister for Infrastructure
FROM:  Minister for Technology

I have read your revised plan and am pleased with the changes to be implemented.  I recommend 'Winston-Payne University' as a name for the new institution.

After a long day on the senate floor, George Payne was back in the office watching the clock. 4:45. The time to go home was just so close. Just a little more time and he could go home and stay home until the next legislative session. 4:49. All the debates were done, his policy was complete, only one more vote left on the docket, and the decisions would be over. 4:54. *ding* "Oh, come on!"

In came a message from the Ministry of Technology, and in came Nathanial Murphy with the tablet to record Payne's response. 4:56

"The initial plan I had was made under the assumption that we would have more than just two young, inexperienced scientists. With higher numbers of more experienced scientists, as I had thought we had when I came out with my initial plan, academy extensions could wait until at least we had a commercial shipyard. Now, however, as the Technology Minister has suggested to me, I must change my policy. New labs would be much less efficient way of increasing scientific output than better, more experienced scientists, so with that in mind, I will change the 25% of industry going to new Research Labs to building an extension to our academy. I would also recommend that our academy be named in order not to be called the rather nebulous "academy"

5:00. Payne manages to finish his response just in time to quit, but the messages to the factory managers still must go out, and he knows enough to let Dr. Vendar respond, so he sits down in his computer chair and requests a coffee. Murphy, however, had already left.
