The Shipyards of NU

Snakebite · Apr 13, 2015

So according to the news reports a huge fleet of Imperial Clippers is being built at NU, I flew there to see what was going on and indeed there is a [community goal] requesting metals for the production effort.

The problem is I can't find the bleeping shipyards anywhere in the system....

You need to look between outfitting and commodities market, in station services.

i guess op refers to something like this:

and i really would love to see some of those bulding stations as well =) would make the universe a way more vivid place, if you could acutally watch ships being build ^_^

Loved the picture, would definitely love to see those things orbiting, head there for repairs, fly around them, observe NPC ships in the making, maybe even your own... !

This would also allow bigger ship to "dock" to something. Oh well, one can dream

OP, reading between the lines I'm guessing you're trying to work out where to sell your metals? Apologies if I'm mistaken. Once you've signed up to the CG on the bulletin board just sell the metals on the Syromyatnikov commodity market in the NU system. After a moment or two you'll see your contributions on your ships Transactions page.

Nope, I was being sarcastic about stuff in the news not actually existing in game.

And I refuse to take part in [community goals] until they stop using the stupid, unimaginative, and immersion breaking term [community goal] in game. Its okay to describe it that way on the forums but in-game they should have a more appropriate title.

It's not Nu, it's Ni!

Yeah, one of the many shortcomings in terms of immersion is the lack of things like that. I remember seeing concept art for the game showing shipyards, stations being built, lots of space traffic flying between groups of stations and such.

Maybe one day...

Nice!!! The ED Knights of Ni! Sworn to protect the galaxy and trade in shrubbery.

Smoon · Apr 13, 2015

So is this any metals or is there a certain type of metal they require?

Does Onionhead count as shrubbery?

I am sure if you chew enough of it, pretty much anything will count as shrubbery..

Mikey2305 · Apr 13, 2015

Yes would be nice ... They put a battlecruiser in when we were supposed to be repairing it

DaveL · Apr 13, 2015

maybe for smaller ships like Cliipers, they´re on the planet´s surface....

I want to see all 8,000,000t worth try to fly out the station at once!

I couldn't get the debug camera to zoom out enough, but there are places that fit ships in nicely:
