I'd been worrying about the relative shipyard capacities of the Vice-Royalty of Aragon, and the People's Republic of Burbank. Mainly because Aragon has a nice high-population and high tech world (Jarandilla) that would make an awesome industrial complex...
Except it's a class C starport, and cannot build it's own small craft or starships. oopsie.
This made me worry about whether the Vice-Royalty could hold off the revolutionary hordes. Then I ran some numbers. Now I wonder why the Vice-Royalty hasn't smashed them to crap. Here's what I saw...
Shipyards of Aragon 4.6 million tons of starship a month.
Santander - C - 60 tons / month Pax and War
Aragon - B - 4,600,000 tons / month Pax, 4,800,000 tons / month War
Valladolid - A - 5,750 tons / month Pax, 6,000 tons / month war
Salmanca - 8 - 2.3 tons / month pax, 2.4 tons / month war
Jarandilla - E - No shipyards, but could be 36,000,000 tons / month pax, 45,000,000 tons / month war.
Shipyards of Burbank 0.87 million tons of starship a month
Downey - F - 1.5 tons / month, 4.5 tons month
Claremont - E - 72,000 tons / month pax, 90,000 tons / month war
Palmdale - D - 220 tons / month pax, 240 tons / month war
Commerce - D - 990 tons / month pax, 1080 tons / month war
Portola Valley - C - 77 tons / month pax, 84 tons / month war
Burbank - C - 11,000 tons / month pax, 12,000 tons / month war
Alameda - B - 4400 tons / month pax, 4800 tons / month war
Alhambra - 9 - 11,500 tons / month pax, 12,000 tons / month war
Wilsonia - 7 - 770,000 tons / month pax, 840,000 tons / month war
So, in other words, Burbank is out-produced MORE than 4 to 1. And get a load of the greatest shipyard...At Wilsonia. Pumping out 770,000 displacement tons of Tech Level SEVEN goodies (1Kton max ship size, J-0 M-2). That almost doesn't count in a High Guard / TCS scenario. Wilsonia's big craft will have to hitch rides on someone else's carriers to get to the party.
I think I know why Jarandilla has no starship yards. The war ended (or started...) with a massive suicide raid that smashed the yards there, and forced a peace deal. Otherwise 36 million tons of warship a month, all at TL 14. Burbank's space navy would be swamped.
An interesting setup I've got here.
