You go, Kathy.
The Admiral should be sitting in warm, wet stuff now.
He needs to get his blood pressure checked as well.
As you said it might not be the top ten,
but the hits keep coming
Oh no, you triggered my mind’s eye.
Now I’m seeing him firing off lump
after lump like a machine gun…
Must stop images!
(Bangs head on desk!)
Ah that’s better… wait,
why is the room moving?
Use the force Kathy, blunt force that is! “Against the constitution?”
The very people you’re wanting to sue WROTE it! And we all know, no
legal mumbo-jumbo will work in the Empire. So unless you can whip up
some space worthy ships and an orbital forge/refinery I don’t see how
you can compete.
You smooth-brained idiot, The Empnav doesn’t use capital ships other
than the mega-haulers and the carriers. Sounds like this nit-wit needs
to see just how bad the Cat’s kitty litter really is!
(I know cleaning Jasmine’s is bad enough!)
Luckylady ratted me out to my son earlier, now he’s hanging around us
on his day off… I don’t mind I guess, I just hate it when everyone acts
like I’m old crystal glass, I got enough of that after the car accident.
add to the Constitution, “Frivolous Court use.!” as in: repeated suing
for the same thing, till they get their way,. or the other side is out of
money, and get their way.
also court is for individuals, not corporations.
IF you sue a corp, an win. money comes out of profit. ‘no one cares.!’
(Ford, rather pay damages, than fix the problem.) BUTT.!!! if the
corp, had pay to as a individual (every person in the corp, had to pay
the same fine.),. 97% of the corp would be bankrupt.!!
add, the lawyer! win, lose, or draw,. they get the same as the client.!
True, a simple law stating that the courts will NOT be weaponized
as well as used as a negotiation tactic. RL life does it all the time.
Threatening someone with court in hopes they will cave is just
wrong and should be illegal. If this gal had half a clue, Teresa
could kill her BS fast. Even in The Wolf world, unbridled greed
rears it’s ugly head.
I’m REALLY starting to doubt this a-holes are no better than Motha’s
collection of arrogant Bats. “They can’t possibly power beams of that
size!” Power is never a problem for Impnav, maybe now you’ll learn,
but I doubt it. Rule #1, NEVER assume something about your enemy!
(Damnit! Where did I put that sign…)
I’m guessing they didn’t try this with the core because of the number
of capital ships they had. While the Empire has the idea of “less is more.”
Besides, you can build 3 frigates for the same cost as a single capital
ship. Or 2 destroyers. I suspect the Empire is about to launch into
another slave rescue operation in near future. I doubt these demons
will accept the Empire as an equal or greater than their mighty redness.
I was guessing mostly, I don’t have the stats like you do 😛
The relative size and resources needed for each changes
depending on what they were designed to do, I doubt Bill’s
mega-hauler needs as much resources than a carrier needs.
And by the description, a carrier is the closest thing to a
major capital ship that the Empire builds. I suspect they
are what Big Red was talking about. Spitting out Daggers
and Tobys like watermelon seeds at a block-party picnic.
In a lawsuit, it’s loser pays… The amount that they spent.
For example, if Imogen sues a supplier, and they load up with lawyers
and spend D100,000 while their supplier hires one lawyer and spends
only D1000, then:
Imogen loses, they must pay supplier D100,000 + amount awarded.
Supplier loses, they must pay Imogen D1000 + amount awarded.
This prevents one party from loading up with lawyers with the threat
of bankrupting other litigant over legal fees.
correct.. red thinks ‘big ship = big power’…
old navy , who had the most biggest guns wins..
so Battleship,,,
then modern tactics (planes an missiles.) ousted that..
now we have a destroyer, with 3 times the capability…
I think he hasn’t quite processed that this system isn’t as primitive as
he thought. Let’s see how long it takes his brain to catch up with reality.
As far as freeing the slaves goes, that might go even faster than with
Catia. Not only does the Empire have enough ships and manpower,
but as with Catia, the slavers will find out too late what is going on.
Although these guys might control more than one planet with an
enslaved population.
story time: power… then ‘Battleship’ vs now ‘destroyer’.
in Vietnam a BS got to close, so a 105mm fired a shell at it.
[damaged the deck], cap sed “erase that hill.” and did.!
in Desert Storm, a bad guy set up his command in the same
building as “National Treasure.” ha ha you can’t shoot me.!!
destroyer,. one tomahawk, and CIC was completely gone,
National Treasure didn’t even know what happened.!
darn, the Wolf Empire has been stable long enough for greedy suits to resurface.
There is a galaxy to play with, yet they want to steal someone else’s work instead
of going out and developing their own product. There are more resources than just
that thin layer between Mars and Jupiter. Further out can capture more volatiles,
which are just as valuable as minerals.
Or just work a different section of the Belt :}
Her statement about the government won’t compete has a huge hole in it.
Where are their own ships and miners? In what way is the Empire competing
with them if they aren’t already up there? Last I looked, Kathy doesn’t have
the big red “Easy” button on her forehead. The Wolf Empire admires those
who put in the effort, not demanding hand-outs. And that’s what this gal is
asking for, a handout of the ships etc.
So feeling a little confused.
If the Constitution forbids government competition with private enterprise,
And a company now wants a stake in the mining of a public resource,
Isn’t the government bound to cede a stake.
If the navy was mining for it’s own use, it’s ownership seems sound.
If it is selling “spare” ore, then it starts to seem like a
government owned business.
Just my read. Seems like the court has a challenging case.
This gal wants to take the tech from the government and install their
own people on the ships, miners, and forge/refineries so they can
claim the profits. No effort, all the cash. You want it? Build your own
ships and such, the Navy’s stuff is gov property. Do you REALLY
want to try that? Both Mistrial and Teresa have the pink slips.
That would be like some construction company demanding to use
RL military assets for their own use “just because.”
way back wen,,, nasa put a probe on a comet,. took a sample.
clown on earth fought tooth an nail.. that he claimed ALL rights
to the rock,. so nasa stole it from him.! yes it was a circus.!
Ah, I think I remember hearing about that, just not the outcome.
I had to laugh at the stupidity of the claim in the first place!
Where’s your flag on it? how did you go there to lay claim? Jeez…
eminent domain: the right of the government / state to claim private land, for public use.
IF the state acquires land, just compensation Must be paid! to include house hold goods,
buildings, and intangibles!
so,.. this is a mine, they want to seize it.! they Have to pay,… the forecasted mineral
rights, the forecasted wage of the miners (existing), the cost of putting the mining
equipment,. and ANY and all living commendations / moving cost.
back in the 50’s. US gov bought a defunct mine in New Mexico. (nuc test) because defunct,
they only paid last years earnings. but because the US gov claimed eminent domain,
they still paid twice the worth. the owner even said ‘afterwards’, “If they would of asked
I would of sold at cost.!”
And the hits just keep on coming.
You go, Kathy.

Dear Admiral
Don’t let your alligator mouth
overload your hummingbird a**.
Oh no, you triggered my mind’s eye.

Must stop images!
(Bangs head on desk!)
Ah that’s better… wait,
why is the room moving?
As the old Ronco ads used to say, “But wait, there’s more!”
“Just wait until you see this!”
Use the force Kathy, blunt force that is! “Against the constitution?”
The very people you’re wanting to sue WROTE it! And we all know, no

I dinnae think they’ve submitted thet paperwork yit, Cap’n.
Way to go Scottie.

FYI: in ‘as of now’ cost. Frigate = 1.6B,. Destroyer = 2.5B,.
Battleship (about) = 3B,. Carrier = 13.5b…
so,,, F 9/1, D 5/1, B 4.5/1 …
