We are preparing a second crew so we can operate the Agamemnon to her full potential. This will mean the old crew can stay on Earth for the next deployment.
@CaptainEssen
Could you take up the new crew in that shuttle of yours once the Agamemnon is in Earth orbit? That way we will be able to stay active in space without the need to land.
@MTakach
The crew of the Deutschland are using the SWS Agamemnon to search for the Solarium crystals they need to repair the Deutschland.
.
The Agamemnon needs a refit, Warburg has built four transport spacecraft and you have built six space frigates. This means that all four SPMRP nations now have space-forces.
@MTakach
Yes, but please don't fight us. I think, once the Agamemnon can be refitted with a new reactor, we should form a space carrier battle group to find those Solarium crystals.

@CaptainEssen
I believe we are in need of some sort of space treaty since we now all have military spacecraft. Here is my proposal:
1. Warburg craft will provide auxiliary orbital transport, as well as search and rescue.
2. The Conegsreich Republic will protect the Warburg vessels and escort the Agamemnon during search missions.
3. The Saltwater Carrier Nation will provide transport to the crew of the Deutschland using the Agamemnon.
4. The crew of the Deutschland can do as they wish, since they are most knowledgeable about deep space.
.
Do you agree?
@Jim1the1Squid
Ok then, so they would could get to the moon and back, but not much further? Sounds alright.
.
They would be useful to service the Saltwater Navy's AACs, and of course the Deutschland once that gets airborne.
@CaptainEssen
Ok, sounds good. Could you take some crewmembers back with you? It's no good keeping them cooped up in the medical unit or locked in the brig. We'll send armed guards with them.
@CaptainEssen
Also you might like to know that the Agamemnon has a specialist manufacturing plant on board that can produce pretty much anything within a few minutes, from valves to fighter aircraft, provided all the materials can be put into it.
@Jim1the1Squid
As of now, no. There is nothing for them to transport.
@Jim1the1Squid
It's very rare, but you only need a small amount to run a reactor. We can send you a kilogram if you like, that should be enough.
@Jim1the1Squid
Yes, thank you. We reverse engineered them whilst the Warburg-class super battleships were in our service.
@Jim1the1Squid
The Agamemnon already has a much more powerful thorium reactor that is currently being upgraded. Thanks, but no thanks.
@MTakach
I do remember, but I was just giving examples. I could have included Warburg's four cargo craft as well.

@CaptainEssen
Will the Agamemnon's services be required anytime soon? I would like to get it back in service if it is no longer needed.
I recognise this.
You have made no changes from the original aircraft and therefore you have been reported. Please read the rules.
@CaptainEssen
Ok, I get it.
You captured the other ship then?
@CaptainEssen
Same here.
@Jim1the1Squid
The Agamemnon won't need extra fuel, she runs on nuclear power.
@CaptainEssen
I hope they do.
@MTakach
Noted. We'll put down on NovrdLisch.
@Jim1the1Squid
That's great!
@CaptainEssen
Ok.
@CaptainEssen
I'd like to give it some fighting capability just in case. They may also come in useful for explosive mining of the crystals.
@CaptainEssen
Ok. I might add some more railguns as well.
@CaptainEssen
Ok. You know best when it comes to spaceflight.
@MTakach
Roger. We'll watch out for you.
@CaptainEssen

@CaptainEssen
Making the edit...
@MTakach
Ok. They can operate with the Agamemnon if you want.
@MTakach
Will we use them to search for the Solarium crystals? I think that is the priority right now.
@MTakach
The crew of the Deutschland are using the SWS Agamemnon to search for the Solarium crystals they need to repair the Deutschland.

Do you agree?
@MTakach
How many do you have? What sort of endurance does it have?
@MTakach
Let me guess, it's capable of spaceflight.
@Jim1the1Squid
True.
@Jim1the1Squid
Well, in aviation we generally use imperial measurements so I don't really mind. I can always make the conversion myself.
@Jim1the1Squid
Good! I thought for a minute you had similar capabilities to the Agamemnon! One AAC is enough for any RP.
@Jim1the1Squid
Ok then, so they would could get to the moon and back, but not much further? Sounds alright.

@Jim1the1Squid
Put one on standby in case anything goes majorly wrong, but please keep the rest on Earth. What sort of endurance do they have?
@Jim1the1Squid
How many do you have? To keep SPMRP predominantly Earth-based we really only want one or two vessels in space at any one time.
@Jim1the1Squid
The Takach-class can fly? Since when?
@CaptainEssen
Thanks!
I'll begin a search for a second AAC to complement the Agamemnon.
@CaptainEssen
Ok, sounds good. Could you take some crewmembers back with you? It's no good keeping them cooped up in the medical unit or locked in the brig. We'll send armed guards with them.
@CaptainEssen
Can you reach the SWS Agamemnon from Earth? They are currently cruising off Neptune.
@CaptainEssen
Also you might like to know that the Agamemnon has a specialist manufacturing plant on board that can produce pretty much anything within a few minutes, from valves to fighter aircraft, provided all the materials can be put into it.
@CaptainEssen
I think we could manage that. How long would it take?
@CaptainEssen
Roger.
@CaptainEssen
@MTakach
@Jim1the1Squid
@CaptainEssen
Ok, I'll include that in the report.
@CaptainEssen
Last time I checked you were reaching Pluto, and although had found evidence of life had not found the crystals. Is that still correct?
@CaptainEssen
Ok, I look forward to it. Do you mind if I create a report from a Saltwater Navy crewman serving on the SWS Agamemnon?
Good afternoon @CaptainEssen !
If you don't mind me asking, when can we expect to see the next chapter of "The Rift"?
