Since so many people have some form of shipbuilding experience..... Let's put a nice big fat contract out there that could set someone up for life, and see what people come up with. Might stir some minds into action.
-----------------------------
To whom it may concern.
Great Justice proposes the replacement of remaining frontline Zig-Fighter and Trainer units with a new model of light strike spacecraft. Proposals are therefore invited from any qualifying manufacturer or design bureau* with appropriate security clearances.
It is expected the delivered spacecraft will achieve the following:
*Homologation under Part-L requirements for combat spacecrat.
*A minimum top speed in open space of .15c
*A minimum turn time of 14 seconds at top speed.
*Projectile armament capable of penetrating 20mm waved tektite composite armour.
*Internal or external stores allowing the mounting of any standards compliant missile, gunpod, fuel-tank or supplimental sensor system.
*Mimimum combat effective range of 15 AU on internal fuel.
*Suitable sensor and navigational computer systems.
*Pilot ejection and safety systems compatible of SAFER 2017 standards.
Assuming compatibility with minimum specification Points will be scored according to the following:
*Per unit production cost of spacecraft. 20%
*Cost of operations and maintenance of completed spacecraft. 15%
*Combat simulation performance: 15%
*Handling characteristics suitable for training use: 30%
*Sensor and Electronic Warfare capability: 10%
*Survivability: 10%
A bonus equivelant to 5% of total points score will be awarded to craft compatible with existing Zig carriers.
Proposals must be received no later than March 15, 2025. It is expected that contracts for production of prototype units will be awarded on a cost-plus basis to the top three scoring manufacturers or design buraeus. These qualifying manufacturers will then be required to produce three examples of a prototype, which will compete in a fly-off competition for the final award.
Participating manufacturers may be required to sub-license the wining design under FRAND terms to other manufacturers, to meet construction demand. Where the design is provided by a design buraeu, this will be considered mandatory.
*A qualifying manufacturer or design-buraeu is one who has designed and constructed at least one spacecraft that has achieved homologation under Part-L requirements, regardless as to whether the type entered general service or not.
Full terms, conditions and technical specifications will be provided upon declaration of interest.
