(Basically I find the time to host one.)

July 2113

With the perfection of the hyperdrive, the space race is finally fully under way. Monopolies were broken; upstart companies are taking over them as the pinnacle of engineering perfection. Who will succeed in becoming the Henry Ford of this age? Do you want your products to become a ubiquitous household name, or to hold a degree of exclusivity?

"You Own a spaceship yard" is a game for 5 players. Each player will own a spaceship yard, hoping to dip into the market to reap up great profits. However, with great profits come with great competition, and other players are not the only threat. Other companies, Wars, supply problems, government meddling are just a few of the many obstacles you will face before reaching real greatness.

In supporting your fledging business, you will need R&D facilities. While you currently have a very basic facility you understand technology will never be advanced enough. You will also employ the help of agents, whose special abilities will help you secure better contracts, undertake research better, etc. And, of course, your ingenuity, which you believe are as good as the agents'.

Name of CEO: Angie Tassal
Name of Yard: Tassal's Tinkering Tower (TTT)
Your Background: Fiery redhead of mostly Irish ascendency (with a touch of japanese, which may or may not be responsible for her appearance), she shows a childish appearance, measuring 1.50m. She reinforce that aspect by wearing pigtails and overalls. She is surprisingly strong for her size, and combined with her apparently lunatic behaviour (she can quickly switch from "joyful enthusiast" to "screaming fury", for no apparent reason), this earned her the obedience of her subordinates. Confronted to such a surprising girl, most people choose to shut up and listen. Her passion for space and tinkering led her to create a shipyard, and she hopes to create the best ships of her time. With a lot of guns.

Your Skills:

Weapon Engineering: I
Theoratical Physicist: I
Organizer: I

It is public knowledge that one of the national governments has leaked the design of the Altair III spaceships online. Its is so detailed that you can start producing Altair III right away without retooling. They also offered to buy 10 Altair IIIs from any manufacturer at the price of 20/unit, but that inflated price and volume also almost precludes the long-term viability of producing it.

Development
"Eye" Vraxian Automated Exploration drone
    -A cheap, lightweight, automated exploration drone powered by a thermionic nuclear generator. Uses an Ion engine for sublight transportation, and is Hyperspace capable. It takes quite a lot of time to recharge between Hyperspace jumps. ((Basically, a fire and forget remote sensor. It jumps to it's designated location, gathers data (a process that might take years, for a full survey of an entire system), and then returns for data pickup. Best works in groups, where it can designate a single drone as data transporter))

Any notion of Research costs? Also, facility upgrade costs?

And also, tech levels.
