Well, imagine my surprise today when I decided to check the holonets and galactic boards terminal. What do I find on it? Another Imperial Law listed and all that...
Here's a quick copy if any of you care to read it:
*******************************************************
[ 11] Opel: NEW IMPERIAL LAW IN EFFECT: VESSEL ARMAMENTS RESTRICTIONS
Sun May 24 15:58:39 2009
To: All Citizens
Vessel Armament regulations, as set forth by the authority
granted by his Imperial Majesty the Emperor. These regulations
are to go into enforcements immediately.
Civilian restriction on vessel armaments, armor and
manuevering capability:
2 total defensive laser or ion cannon emplacements.
A maximum sublight speed of 200mglt.
A maximum manuevering capacity of 75mss.
A maximum shield rating of 1500isu.
A maximum ablative armor rating of 2000ru.
A maximum accelerative force of 25g's.
No projectile weaponry.
Hyperspeed ratings, in the interest of interstellar commerce, are not
restricted.
These restrictions are both for the safety of interstellar traffic
and to combat piracy as any capability beyound those listed is
considered military grade offensive weaponry and as such its sole
purpose is to assault other vessels. Failure to meet these
requirements will result in the impoundment of an offending vessel
for not less than 4 days, after which the owner will be informed
of the impoundment fine, to be determined by a competant Imperial
authority based on the degree of violation. If the owner fails to
pay said fine within 4 days the vessel will be stripped of excess
armaments and put to open auction so that the Empire may recoup
the costs of enforcing Imperial Law. Further, vessels that refuse
to stop for inspection will be considered hostile to the security
and well being of the Empire and its denizens and will be prosecuted
as such.
*******************************************************
Wonderful isn't it? Anyway, I don't want any trouble as it is, so I decided to do some work on my ship. The ratings I have now seem to be within the allowed guidelines, so they can't give me grief now. Or at least they shouldn't be able to.
Well, anyway, apparently the public listings of properties will be coming up soon. So today should turn out to be interesting.
That's about it for now. Back to cleaning the ship...
