Exoplanet!

OOC: Yeah, that's fine.
 
OOC: Would the bidding be public or secret? If its public that would seriously disadvantage whoever bid early.
 
OOC: Sorry to say I'm dropping out of this, one could almost think the Workers' Syndicate is a cursed faction (it's not... or is it?). I love reading the things here in thread but I'm just not feeling much of any inspiration or interest in doing anything myself so, yeah. That's all.
 
Sorry to see you go.

Bidding would be secret.
 
Individual.
 
Lets start the bidding.

Here are the items to bid on. Each faction can bind up to 100 points on the items. If you bid the highest, you get that item. If you are outbid, you get your points back. We keep doing successive rounds of bidding until all items are claimed.
11 ferries
self-propelled ground to orbit vehicle
seats 250 or comparable cargo
electrically powered using ‘islands of stability’ atomic batteries- will need to be recharged after escaping gravity

4 cargo vehicles
self-propelled ground to orbit vehicle
hauls cargo (120m^3 volume)
electrically powered using ‘islands of stability’ atomic batteries- will need to be recharged after escaping gravity

11 command modules

25MW fission atomic plant (25 years uranium fuel)
communications suite (satellite uplink)
standard optical computing systems

5 atomic energy modules
passive atmospheric entry vehicle

3 solar energy modules (1 damaged module could be recovered but requires repairs and printing of parts)
passive atmospheric entry vehicle
solar energy plant

2 security modules
passive atmospheric entry vehicle
deploys las-cannon based defensive security system (requires energy)
deploys rho-field shields (requires energy)

2 quantum computing modules
passive atmospheric entry vehicle
advanced quantum computer (capable of 40 simultaneous superpositions, zettaflop scale processing)

9 construction modules
passive atmospheric entry vehicle
dedicated construction drones and tele-operated robots (bulldozers, cranes, etc)
command center for controlling these is modular and can operate from surface or orbit
charging station (will require energy input from a reactor or other source)

2 drilling modules
passive atmospheric entry vehicle
dedicated drilling drones and tele-operated robots (drills, pipe-assembly, etc) for recovering hydrocarbons
command center for controlling these is modular and can operate from surface or orbit
charging station (will require energy input from a reactor or other source)

3 printer fabrication modules
passive atmospheric entry vehicle
small scale molecular printing system (requires energy)
molecular intake systems (requires access to liquids with dissolved macromolecules- on earth these were typically the sea)

2 automated factory modules
passive atmospheric entry vehicle
small automated (conventional) factory (requires materials, energy)

8 land exploration vehicle modules
passive atmospheric entry vehicle
contains 3 electric ‘rover’ vehicles equipped with sensor and communication equipment (cannot be used in mountainous terrain)

2 naval exploration vehicle modules
passive atmospheric entry vehicle
contains 2 electric ‘corvette’-scale ships equipped with sensor and communication equipment

3 orbital surveillance satellites
deployed from Unity directly
wide-spectrum observational satellite accessible from Unity habitats and colonization command modules
limited solar energy generation for maintenance of satellite

2 orbital solar energy generation satellites
deployed from Unity directly
can be used to recharge ferry or cargo vehicles or serve as the basis for further development of orbital space
limited surveillance and communication


Other materials, like greenhouses, residences, labs, suits, (weapons?), were anticipated to be fabricated at the time of arrival depending on local conditions.

Secret bids by PM to me. You have until Tuesday of next week to submit your first round bids.

We can continue RP as we do this in the background.
 
I have 2 bids from player factions.

Also the NPCs have placed thier bids:
Order of Man
Pambazuka
Puczcza Wynd
Qeng Ho
Quebec
Communalist Confederacy
Zen Serotonin


We can proceed to the second round much faster if you all get your bids in earlier.

Remember this is likely to be multiple rounds of bidding (keep some pips to pick up dregs in successive rounds). Also remember that the ferries and cargo vessels and satellites, etc, are all biddible items.

I'm not feeling this sorry, dropping.
 
Bids are due tomorrow.

If leaders do not bid, officers will...
 
Bids are in.

At this point no bids were contested so i just cost you 1 pip for all bids.
Going forward, if you bid on something and there are more items than there are bids, you will be refunded all pips but one.
If you bid on more than one thing, i just selected whatever you bid the most pips on.
If you failed to bid, your officers bid for you.
Looking at the bids I realize the process wasn't super clear but hopefully you get it now.
