damn, i hate it when im proven wrong...

So either the GTVA had incredibly efficient shipyards (which 30 years for the Colossus doesn't suggest, unless that included designing as well) or the GTVA has a lot of ship production facilties.

There are balls on Snipes' sidewalk.

That's actually a very good point... Hmmm...

You've never heard of Batman?

ahhhh gotcha, thought he was calling him a cave man for some reason

The GTVA is known to have shipbuilding facilities in:

Altair
Vasuda
Polaris
Delta Serp.
Laramis

I wouldn't put it past them to also have shipyards in:

Sirius
Ribos
Vega
B.Aquilae
Aldebaren (it IS the Vasudans' new homeworld after all)
Adhara or Procyon
Maybe a small one in or past Luyten.

And, as for campaigns, I have an announcement on my own campaign, Heroes for Hire, which I'll post in another thread.

flip: 20 years for the colossus. and considering its a juggernought AND latesst technology AND upgrading as time goes by AND designing AND constructing, i thikn thats pretty dang good

The designing of the Colossus probably took 10 years itself, what with all the GTVA bureaucracy... think ISS.

ISS?

What is the ISS?

and remember to take into account the probablility that some of the leftover shivans would do their very best to kill the colossus, knowing that its a big thingey that can kill small thingeys.

plus, they oculdnt spend THAT much money building it anywayz, what with the loss of sol. theyd have to reprioritize alot.

LOL Yep, as I said, if it includes design as well, that's no worse than the USS Missouri, which is smaller, and had exactly the same technical problem (to the point that if it weren't for those massive guns, they'd have been scrapped years ago).

They started designing it at the end of WWI and it was completed just after WW2

Yeah, but she did a damned good job at her role. Anything on the wrong of those shells was gone unless it was under a couple hundred feet of earth and concrete.
