100 bombers... And the Ursa costs as much as a small moon. Very true.

[foolfromhell]

The Ursa doesnt cost as much as a small moon!
Its smaller than a Fenris! Much smaller! And defnitely MUCH smaller than a Hecate. The Hecate probably costed as much as 400 or so Ursas.
12 Ursas can do MUCH more damage to a Sathanas than 1 Hecate.

Yes, the Ursa does cost as much as a small moon.

Nothing about moons.

I'll quote that as much as I need to. I know it's true, you can't prove me wrong.

[haloboy100]

Yes, the Ursa does cost as much as a small moon.

I second that. I could of swore i saw it in the fs1 tech room though.

That's because it is there. The wiki is incomplete.

Yes, the Ursa does cost as much as a small moon.

Actually, it was the Orion that cost as much as a small moon. I read the FS2 tech room description. So everytime an Orion blows up, thats 1 less moon to go around.

For over 30 years, the GTD Orion class was the largest ship in the Terran-Vasudan armada. Over two kilometers in length, bristling with dozens of death-dealing turrets, the Orion is as awesome in repose as it is in battle. All GVTA Orions have been retrofitted with the latest anti-warship beam weapons, as well as flak and AAA turrets for dealing with fighters and bombers. The Orion's cavernous hanger bays easily accommodate more than two dozen fighter or bomber wings.

I see no mention of a small moon, however:

This is the biggest bomber in the Galactic Terran Alliance. With the ability to carry almost any weapon, it is almost always the weapon of choice when you just have to take out every Cruiser in the star system. This is THE Assault Bomber. With a length of 41 meters and a mass that dwarfs even the biggest of fighter-class ships, this hunk of metal can barely get enough engine power on default settings to enter subspace. While the armor and shields on this ship are the best in the Terran fleet, this craft is still just a sitting duck against enemy interceptors.  Flying this ship requires either a lot of courage, or a lot of faith in your escort wing. And it's guaranteed there will be an escort wing. These ships cost more to make than it takes to buy a small moon. This is the only ship that can carry the devastating Harbinger bomb. It's a little known fact that the Harbinger was designed specifically for this angel of death.

Thank you Ghostavo.

The Orion cost more to construct than to pay 10,000 people for three years. Figure that one out, and we can get a good feel as to how much a destroyer costs.

[foolfromhell]

Dude. Its a stupid BOMBER.
Okay, the Ursa is large, but its still a BOMBER. Hell, if each cruiser was as expensive as an Ursa, as it probably is since beam weapons would be expensive, the GTVA must have a TON of moons to throw away.... it cant cost as much as a small moon! A small moon would be the equivalent of HUNDREDS of BILLIONS of dollars (With inflation).  A B-2 Bomber is "only" 2 billion dollars...

[Snail]

Dude. It's stupid CANON.

Work out how much it costs to pay 10k people for 3 years and that's how much an orion costs. M'kay?

[Gamma_Draconis]

Well if you think about it. Jupiter has about a hundred moons. The GTVA currently has like, 15 systems under their control. Each system would have about 1000 moons. So thats about 15,000 Ursa bombers and thats considering each of the moons as a small moon. A larger moon can probably = around 5 Ursa Bombers.

[Snail]

And the Orion?

[Gamma_Draconis]

And the Orion?

Maybe a small planet like a Pluto.

[Topgun]

Pluto is pretty big. more like alpha centuri 1

[foolfromhell]

Splitting the thread screwd it up.

[Flipside]

Well, people can either have it one way or another, a split was requested, so here you go.
