Title: Republic of the Sphere yardships
Post by: ds9guy on July 09, 2017, 09:19:17 PM
I was doing some 3145 research recently and apparently, the Republic of the Sphere ended up with 3 yardships (1 Newgrange class, 2 faslane class). 
The wiki write up says they were mothballed. 

Do you guys think these ships would be brought back into service? 
It seems a resource you wouldn't want to waste given the paucity of shipyards. 

Just curious,

Monty

The Newgrange Mercy was helping Titan at one point getting them to the point they could be used again

Honestly I'm shocked they were mothballed at all the Yardships could be used for so much, maintaining JumpShips, recharge stations, civilian habitats, wayward DropShips for me yard ships are the one thing this universe needs more of across the board

Battletech and logistics, never the twain shall meet.  Totally agree with you DC, the Yardships are vital strategic resources, mobile repair and construction yards for Drop and JumpShips, that would NEVER be mothballed.
