Antony,
I don't know what's up with the attachment. I didn't send one and I
receive the daily digest of messages. Perhaps, it's because I sent this
message as HTML (I recently switched from Outlook Express to
Thunderbird). When I received the digest, the HTML was stripped out and
non-alphanumeric characters were used to highlight pieces of text. That
never happened when I used OE, so I don't know for sure. I think that
I've turned off the HTML part. Maybe that'll work.
>>This one sounds reasonable to me, although the jump-2 requirement can be
achieved from TL11 onwards (this also happens to be the TL of the only
surviving A class yard in the Banners Sector). At this tech level I can have
new construction. A deep space salvage version would also be useful as I
have a neighbouring system which is now barren containing an asteroid belt
as the main "world".<<
Just to make sure you understand, this contest is for the **1120** time
period. Pre-Collapse. These ships wouldn't necessarily be part of your
Banners campaign, unless they were to show up later as surviving (or
infected) relics. Now, if you've got a shipyard there in 1120 that's
interested in submitting designs, that's fine. :) The 1202 or 1248
contests (Parts 2 and 3) might be better suited for your Banners campaign.
