>>6042946Settlement action:
>(Write in)> Have the Argonaut Tow the pieces of the destroyed combat freighters close to the drydock. Over time teams cut the ships apart and any still functional parts are kept in storage while any slag or hull part is refined in the planet-side refinery.From what you've shown both in the last few images and from the previous quests you've run, these ships "break apart" into chunks when destroyed. So it should be relatively easy to tow them over and begin breaking these chunks into smaller parts.
For an example of how much mass these vessels have, I did a bit of calculation.
Assuming them to be a square, which yeah they aren't so we are taking away 20% by the end. If we were to take the said square and calculate it (I used pixel measurement to find the width of the ships) We have a 300 by 188 by (I'm assuming 80 meters in height) and assuming the ships are made of aluminium (which would be on the lighter side of potential metals for armour) and using the average density of an aircraft carrier, the mass of one of these ships is 8.280.963 tons, or just above 8 million tons.
and with two, it would mean potentially 16 million tons of scrap metal. Assuming of course the ships to be whole. So minus like 20%, it goes down to 13 million tons of scrap metals. It should be a LOT of common materials with some rare materials mixed in. And it would allow us to have a lot of Common material to work with for the next projects.
For a better comparison. This is how big one of the vessels is when using the Patrol boats from
>>6040493 as a reference for scale. And made of nearly pure common and rare materials.
