Attention, the galactic news broadcast from the decentralized NextColony network is bringing an important message to all planets:
Just 11 days after the galactic-wide introduction of the battleships plans by the @nextcolony researchers, the two largest ship producers, @chrisroberts and @flauwy, with a combined fleet of nearly 900 ships, are merging into the largest fleet market in the galaxy: @NextFleet!
NextFleet
Battleships are still very young in the NextColony galaxy. Besides some manual trading on the official Discord channel and the inofficial TokenBB forum, there is no proper market for ships yet. With the creation of @NextFleet, the producers @chrisroberts, @carrieallen and @flauwy are merging their efforts to provide the galaxy with the first professional battleship delivery service.
At any time, you will be able to cue up our waiting list and receive your order as soon as possible, depending on our current stock, production rate and the distance to your planet. Across the galaxy deliveries take up to a week but players of NextColony are used to the slow pace of the game.
Depending on the success of the market, we will consider automating the process for further speed and precision. We are also open to suggestions from you and are interested in partnerships with other producers as well. But one step after another. Let us have a look at what makes @nextfleet special, besides its initial fleet size:
The FLEET Token
The NextFleet market has created its own token, called FLEET, which will be the only accepted currency to purchase ships there. From this day forward, you are able to trade the FLEET token on the Steem Engine market and store it in your Steem Engine wallet.
FLEET is pegged to Corvettes. Each FLEET token will always guarantee you one Corvette class battleship delivery from @nextfleet.
The initial cost for one FLEET is 2 Steem, which is below our previous prices. However, the market will decide over time what the value of one Corvette will be and we will adjust our own prices in Steem accordingly.
Higher battleship tiers cost more FLEET, according to their coal price increase throughout the tiers compared to Corvettes. All bullet battleships require blueprints and hence cost ~10% more FLEET than their rocket counterparts.

How To Order A Fleet
To order ships with @nextfleet, you have to purchase the amount of FLEET tokens you need for your ships first. You can do that on the FLEET market on Steem Engine and trade it against STEEMP, the basic token on the platform, which is pegged to Steem. Please use our price list above to do your calculations. The minimum order size is 10 FLEET. There are no decimal positions for FLEET tokens and all prices are rounded up to full tokens. Each order will be delivered to one planet only.
After you got your FLEET tokens, send them to @nextfleet via the Steem Keychain browser extension or the Steem Engine wallet. Include a clear order in the memo field, with the name and amount of the ships, as well as the coordinates of the planet for delivery. Your order will get on our waiting list and you can lean back until the ships arrive a few days later.
