00:39:18 IronyOwl: Dev still around?

00:43:08 Devastator: ya

00:43:46 IronyOwl: how much would a battleship or carrier cost, assuming there are any for sale?

00:44:53 Devastator: CVN fleet carrier/

00:45:22 Devastator: ?

00:45:44 IronyOwl: ideally yes, though diesel + refit is an option

00:46:08 Devastator: This isn't a firm number, but about 900-1000.

00:46:22 Devastator: that's empty, btw.

00:46:27 IronyOwl: huh, not that bad actually

00:46:31 IronyOwl: how much could it carry?

00:46:37 Devastator: a battleship doesn't exist, but about 1200-1500.

00:46:50 IronyOwl: I mean, it's probably abysmal benefit for cost, but it's not out of reach if there was cause for one

00:46:58 Devastator: that's with four-ish plane slots.

00:47:02 Devastator: do note that isn't a solid number.

00:47:06 Devastator: and they aren't available.

00:47:07 IronyOwl: yeah, yeah

00:47:14 Devastator: Also, that's cost, not what you buy it fore.

00:47:16 Devastator: for.

00:47:18 IronyOwl: ah

00:47:31 Devastator: cost would be 2-3x or so.

00:47:37 Devastator: price, sorry.

00:48:12 IronyOwl: didn't you say there were obsolete battleships I might be able to buy?

00:48:56 Devastator: If I did, I don't remember it.

00:49:06 Devastator: I do remember saying you could buy a missile boat.

00:49:17 Devastator: if you ask me that price I gotta get my notes out because that would be available.

00:49:41 IronyOwl: I'd like to know, but it doesn't have to be now if it's inconvenient

00:50:08 IronyOwl: a more pressing question is why boat transports appear to be so expensive for their benefit

00:50:33 Devastator: if by so expensive you mean '2/3 the price of an equivalent air transport.'

00:51:01 IronyOwl: well yeah, but slow instead of fast

00:51:48 Devastator: that's what they are.

00:52:21 IronyOwl: so would fast boats be less efficient than fast planes?

00:53:37 Devastator: design one and see..

00:56:03 Devastator: sorry, prices for stuff for sale I'm willing to ask, but not for stuff that doesn't exist.

00:56:08 Devastator: answer.

00:56:17 IronyOwl: ah, that's what I was afraid of

00:56:37 IronyOwl: that fast transports don't exist atm

00:56:42 IronyOwl: what about medium speed?

00:58:23 Devastator: medium speed transports exist.

00:58:27 Devastator: didn't I quote you one?

00:59:19 Devastator: maybe that was syv.

00:59:23 Devastator: it'd be around 200-250 for sale.

00:59:48 Devastator: btw, that's for a Large ship that carries two Mediums.

01:02:01 Devastator: Do note that air transports have a relatively small markup, being part of a highly competitive civilian market.

01:02:24 IronyOwl: so transport ships might be cheaper in cost but inflated in price?

01:02:28 Devastator: fast boat ferries are disturbingly expensive, and their savings aren't relevant to you.

01:02:54 Devastator: Yeah. the kind of medium-speed boats you have to buy are pretty rare.

01:04:18 Devastator: Bigger boats might have a smaller markup.

01:04:49 IronyOwl: are there massive shipping vessels for sale?

01:05:08 Devastator: Yeah, they basically go all the way up in slow.

01:05:20 Devastator: in medium speed you can get Huge vessels.

01:05:40 Devastator: in slow you can buy basically any real-world merchant ship.

01:06:14 Devastator: there are a fair number of Huge ro-ro car ferries that qualify as medium, and some of those might have lower markups being more common.

01:07:05 Devastator: Giant ones are probably available, but I want to scrutinize some more examples first.

01:08:46 Devastator: Military MVs I need to look up examples for, but there are basically no relevant Fast ships. The period fast assault transports are helicopter carriers.

01:09:00 Devastator: mind you, fast is -quite- fast for most ships.

01:09:08 Devastator: so not much qualifies.

01:09:55 Devastator: a medium-speed Large ship with two meds of carry space is basically a modified yacht.

01:10:04 Devastator: hence the markups.

01:10:29 Devastator: Huge and up brings in more practical vessels.

01:12:18 Devastator: If you want a helicarrier, btw, one should be available.

01:21:46 IronyOwl: are there Huge+ medium speed ships you can quote a price for?

01:22:24 Devastator: Give me a specific list of speed and carrying capacity.

01:22:40 Devastator: ie, pick one size class, one speed, and what you want it to carry.

01:22:52 IronyOwl: Huge Size, Medium Speed, x2 Large slots

01:25:42 Devastator: 325-350, depending on how I feel.

01:25:59 Devastator: could live with 300.

01:26:37 IronyOwl: so at least within striking distance of equivalent-ish air transport

01:28:00 Devastator: yeah, 300 is ok.

05:12:26 syv: Buuuut I forget what it was.

05:12:31 syv: Damn.

05:18:26 Devastator: oh, hey syv.

05:18:34 Devastator: was hoping you'd be around, don't want to stay up too late today.

05:18:48 Devastator: need to pop in to work for like a few hours tomorrow. Gotta unload a truck.

05:18:59 syv: oh, hey dev.

05:20:12 Devastator: no weekends anymore, and it looks like it'll be like 3 days a week, or 5 days with 1/4 the staff or so.

05:20:23 Devastator: tomorrow it's me and two others.

19:36:47 Devastator: welp.

19:36:52 Devastator: cougar tracks in my yard.

19:36:54 ER: bloom

19:37:19 ER: cute and cuddly? :3

19:37:31 Devastator: I haven't actually seen this one, but I know there's one living near here.

19:40:24 Devastator: yeah, definately that cougar.

19:47:51 Devastator: welp.

19:49:02 Devastator pokes Piecewise_

19:49:07 Devastator: Ever seen a cougar?

19:52:08 Piecewise_: Yes?

19:52:15 Piecewise_: waut

19:52:17 Piecewise_: wait**

19:52:19 Piecewise_: which kind?

19:52:48 Piecewise_: the big cat or the older woman?

19:53:04 ER: por que no los dos

19:53:14 Piecewise_: A man of culture

19:53:51 ER: also, kinda not a big cat, depending on how you looks at it

19:54:02 ER: they're closer to house cats than to lions

19:55:35 Devastator: the cat.

19:55:47 Devastator: got one living near my house and it padded through my yard today.

20:06:04 Devastator: ..what would the other kind of cougar leave for tracks?

20:22:10 Devastator: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iHJuBECBkU

20:22:11 Devastator: Ahh, hockey.

20:22:22 ER: sportspuck

20:22:39 Devastator: That's the league commissioner they're booing, btw.

20:23:49 Devastator: He's actually not that bad on an absolute or relative scale, just..

20:23:51 Devastator: booooooooo.

20:25:34 Devastator: Man, if the Jets or the new Nordiques win one they'd boo him worse.

21:03:00 Devastator: take it off Rinne!

21:14:01 RC has joined #einsteinianroulette

21:16:08 ER: no

21:16:42 RC: Good call.

21:19:02 Devastator: hey

21:19:17 Devastator: hey RC>

21:19:18 RC: Hello.

21:19:27 RC: Do /you/ want a handshake?

21:19:28 Devastator: surviving?

21:19:49 RC: Yeah, doing ok. You?

21:21:59 Devastator: Ok.

21:22:01 Devastator: stuck working.

21:22:23 ER: ah ah ah ah

21:22:27 ER: stayin' aliiiiiive

21:22:47 Devastator: ah ah ah ah.

21:23:28 RC: Went for a run today, forget to bring a carrot for the horses though.

21:25:23 Devastator: mmm.

21:25:31 Devastator: There's cougar tracks just outside my front door.

21:25:49 ER: catgirl tracks!

21:26:18 RC: A tank with catgirl tracks.

21:26:20 Devastator: yeah, I know one's living around here, but hadn't seen it this year.

21:26:28 RC: Just a bunch of them sewn together.

21:26:50 RC: I guess it mostly avoids human contact?

21:27:10 ER: humans suk

21:28:47 Devastator: Usually, yeah. I know it's around because I see tracks in winter from time to time.

21:28:56 RC: No Egan, you are the humans.

21:28:56 Devastator: I know roughly where it beds, but not exactly.

21:29:06 ER: citation needed

21:29:10 Devastator: no kittens.

21:32:14 RC: I have it on good source.

21:32:40 Devastator: I'll let you know if there are kittens.

21:34:15 RC: Send me one.

21:34:19 RC: In a box.

21:34:25 RC: With a little red bow.

21:40:30 RC: Been playing that surviv.io game again a little bit.

21:40:49 Devastator: heh

21:40:57 Devastator: I wouldn't mind a game or two of that.

21:41:06 RC: Apparently they have a rotating set of special rounds, some of these are neato.

21:41:19 RC: 50v50 can be a hilarious clusterfuck.

21:41:31 Devastator: Heh.

21:41:55 RC: We could, but not right now, playing some jackbox

21:41:56 Devastator: you want a round or two?

21:41:59 Devastator: ahh, ok.

21:50:09 RC: Also I am incredibly bad at it.

21:50:24 Devastator: jackbox or surviv.io?

21:50:53 Devastator: so what horrible thing are you going to loose on the world in Cabal?

21:54:59 RC: The latter.

21:55:09 Devastator: ahh, that's ok.

21:55:44 RC: Dunno, but we're not planning anything nefarious so should be ok.

21:56:02 RC: Just hoping we can take it without having to ice any of them.

21:56:09 Devastator: 'obviously intended to be kept seperate' is a good sign.

21:56:15 Devastator: a really good sign, naturally.

21:56:31 RC: Just got a random room code for jackbox caled 'SARS'.

21:57:07 RC: Hey, if the gm gives us a fun quest, we're going for it!

21:57:21 Devastator: indeed.

21:57:34 Devastator: oh well, if you release something nasty, it'll just have to die under saeko's claws.

21:57:37 Devastator: when she has them.

21:57:39 Devastator: ;-p

21:58:03 ER: assuming she won't be busy doing evil

21:58:30 Devastator: eh, nothing that dramatic yet.

21:58:42 Devastator: but you're right near where I'd like to build a base, so..

22:01:00 RC: Eh, we'll move on once we have it and/or crash and burn.

22:02:43 Devastator: yeah.

22:06:06 Devastator: too bad, I kinda do want to do horrible monster self-tinker.

22:06:10 Devastator: I think PW would enjoy it.

22:09:54 RC: I just convinced someone to think 'electric canine burglar alarm' was the correct answer.

22:10:13 Devastator: gj

22:12:46 Devastator: 'nuclear electric canine burglar alarm'

22:15:42 Devastator: mark 2.

22:16:14 RC: in pink

22:43:02 RC: Woop, won at fibbage.

22:44:02 RC: Scored big points right at the end and secured victory by convincing people there is a legend in Kentucky of a mythical half-redneck half-latino creature.

22:44:56 RC: ...they maaay not have been voting 100% serious on that one :v

22:45:09 RC: Anyways, it's late, gonna head off.
