Greetings, Designers! skwabie: theexecuter: wolfpack: "small s shipbuilding", "Clark Family Builders" and "Murphree & co. Ships & Guns" have been added to the Admiralty's list of available Shipyards at 4th, 5th and 6th most senior Shipyard slots respectively. Welcome Aboard! Unfortunately, boomboomf22: this means your "Ukrayinsʹka-amerykansʹka Sudnobudivna Hrupa" will not be able to register as an independent Shipyard (awesome logo notwithstanding) - I'm sorry. You are, however, free to join any other Shipyard, if you so desire. (And I hope you do.) konstantinua00: 1. Yes - all Shipyards are restricted to only one (1) Design per class per Competition. (OTOH, I plan on making a lot of competitions ... ) Which means the Designers will have to agree (by majority vote - all ties to be resolved in favour of the senior Designer) on a specific Design to submit. 2. Yes - any Designer / Shipyard not submitting at least one (1) Design (total) in 2 consecutive Competitions will be declared Retired / Bankrupt, and it's points so far will be lost. (Additional Designers would be able to take over if a senior Designer dropped out. Naturally, Shipyard's name & logo can be changed (by the most senior Designer) at any time, so ... ) To make the 'several Designers in a Shipyard' a bit more enticing, I'll be adding a new rule: 6. Each additional Designer in a Shipyard (above the 1st) will bring in a 10% bonus points to the Shipyard's Design. Hopefully, this will make the 'working in another man's Shipyard' a bit more palatable. Also, I'm clearing up the rules on top a bit - to clarify the points above. Good work on all of the Designs so far, and remember, you have nearly 4 days left: still plenty of time to submit new and/or improved ones! (Although, as things are going, I might just shorten the deadline a bit ... we'll see)

Fair enough, I had the bad luck of people posting while I was stupidity making the logo in paint ms. I tend to lose out on stuff cause I take to long on the minor details, should have thrown a design out then done that stuff. So what is the list of shipyards in service?
To others, who will have a poor suddenly unemployed ship builder following the market collapse of his Ukranian employers?

To others, who will have a poor suddenly unemployed ship builder following the market collapse of his Ukranian employers? Excellent! Glad to have you still on board. So far, the list of available Shipyards, by seniority, is: 1. "Wignall & co." - lead Designer: wiggy 2. "Fritz ***** Shipyard inc." - lead Designer: zardoz - note: no logo submitted as yet. 3. "Newport Iron Bathworks News Union Cramp River NSY (Philadelphia & New York Division)" - lead Designer: davedave - note: no logo submitted as yet. 4. "small s shipbuilding" - lead Designer: skwabie 5. "Clark Family Builders" - lead Designer: theexecuter 6. "Murphree & co. Ships & Guns" - lead Designer: wolfpack - note: no logo submitted as yet. I also take a minute to remind the lead Designers that without their (easily distinguishable) logos, the Shipyards are not eligible to enter a Competition. Note that this doesn't mean that they'll be immediately declared 'Bankrupt' - that happens only after two (2) unentered Competitions ... Cheers!

As I'm both lazy & stupid & you have a shiny logo ready to go, d'you fancy joining Newport Iron Bathworks News Union Cramp River NSY (Philadelphia & New York Division)? I mean, we could amend our title somewhat. Howsabout "Ukrayinsʹka-amerykansʹka Newport Iron Bathworks News Union Cramp River NSY (Philadelphia & New York Division)"? I myself like it. Kinda rolls off the tongue. Kinda. PS: I'd've helpfully edited your company flag in order to have a draft of the logo with the new amalgamated title applied ready to go, but I assume you've built super-sekrit anti-industrial espionage qualities in to it, 'cos I can't open it in IRFanView, GIMP or Paint...

Here we are ;-) A short history of Fritz ***** Shipyard Inc.: The company was founded by the ancestor of the ***** family, Fritz ***** I.. Fritz *****, a liberal Hanseatic merchant from a town near Hamburg, who designed fisherboats for Eastfrisian fishermen, decided to leave Germany after the 1848 revolution in Germany and Europe was shattered. He settled near Norfok and began to do what he could best, design fisherboats, and creating a familiy. He was then hit by a stroke of fortune as during the civil war the larger shipyards were destroyed but his smal site was not damaged. So he was the only one who could build ships in Norfolk after the war. He died peacefully in 1878. His oldest son Fritz ***** II., born in Norfolk, merged the company into a corporation. He would be pleased to be able to serve his country.

As I am currently on a 'business trip to study Spanish ship design' (holiday to madrid), I unfortunately do not have access to the drawing boards to design my beloved ships. Therefore, I would like to invite up to three designers to submit a Wignall & co battleship, armoured cruiser and destroyer design under my company guise. Please e-mail to wignalex@gmail.com with a design for approval before submittal. Happy designing!

Wignall & Co. would like to enter a protected cruiser design for coastal, colonial and scouting duties as specified by the Admiralty charter, the Pegasus. For coastal work, her heavy 8 by 6 inch broadside will deter intruding raiders, with the future possibility of cross deck fire giving a 9 gun broadside. This will also be useful when engaging enemy fleet scouts. Although not specially equipped for colonial service, her reliable machinery and long cruising range make the Pegasus feel at home abroad. View AttachmentView AttachmentThis is a nice design. A bit light on armor, and long term speed will be an issue. Do we anticipate our CLs being used as anti-raider platforms?

zardoz: Logo saved. Take your time with designs - you still have 3 and a half days 'till deadline. theexecuter: Um, I tried to provide some guidelines for the Design requirements in the opening post, but maybe I wasn't clear enough: Colonial and Coastal Patrol duties, IMHO, include anti-raider work. If there's anything else not clear, by all means, ask away.

Sorry about the delay in response, I was busy. Yes I would love to join your shipyard and appreciate your willingness to mod the name, we can have the greatest long short title UaNIBNUCR (hehe). As for the logo I uploaded it to photobucket, I'll try adding it as an attachment. You should be able to right click and save it as a png file then open and mod. What do you think of my designs for the competition btw, any mods you think might be necessary? Attachments:

Wiggy : & JagdFlanker : Welcome aboard, JagdFlanker. I'm going to assume you're going to take on the role of the more senior Designer until wiggy returns from his trip. theexecuter: Browsing your Designs, I ran into a comment of yours to the effect that it's impossible to move short-ranged ships between home areas. I nearly panicked, thinking my entire strategy for this game is going to go into wastebasket & set up a small game. In short: yes, it is possible for short-ranged ships to move between home areas of the map during the war - and you're quite free to Design them. boomboomf22: Welcome aboard! The updated name & logo is saved (unless davedave disagrees - he is the (wackiest?) lead Designer, after all)

I've been thinking of updating my designs (mostly the destroyer as I'm not perfectly happy with it)...So will take your comments into account.
