How do we acquire this structure /k/?
>>30580442
Outer heaven?
with money
>>30580442
Why the fuck would you want it? Sealand is interesting because it can pretend to be a sovereign nation.
This is just a rusty shack that would be expensive as hell to restore / resupply.
>sniper tower
>>30580764
get out tripfag
>>30580442
>>30580728
well, the current bid is only $14k, but it will probably go up a substantial amount. a similar one sold for $85k recently.
Get Peter Thiel or some other richfag to buy it for you.
Or B, just show up in boats and do an unauthorized nuggetfest.
>>30580847
What the hell do people do with them?
>>30581488
the other one that sold a few years ago for $85k is apparently a bed & breakfast.

>Peter Thiel - A man stripped of his secret
>He uses the platform as his own Outer Heaven
The Federal aid-to-navigation located on the property remains the personal property of the United States. however, the United States Coast Guard may remove the aid-to-navigation in the future.
the tower is subject to Federal requirements for submerged land and improvements therein, including a Section 10 permit administered by the U. S. Army Corps of Engineers for any modification of the property.
THE CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY IS NOT WARRANTED.
>let us remember all our fallen /k/omrades who died while performing their assigned underwater welding and maintenance duties.
>>30580442
squatters rights will probably kick in before anyone buys or even comes to inspect it.
>>30581745
2nded. Just remember to change the locks guys
>>30581712
Hey, uh, I belong to the Corps of Engineers and one of my buddies IS an actual underwater welder. So....
He's also an Engineer. Now I'm not saying I could administer the inspection or permit, that would be an obvious conflict of interest. The Corps itself is pretty small though, I'm sure I know some people.
Once again for the sake of better thought experiments. Fuck rigs!
We build our own free floating island chain composed of individual fortress islands surrounded by layers of tinny innawoods islands, factory/greenhouse barges, beach platforms and wave breaking floating rock walls.
An island chain that can change formation (with each satellite pass?) and relocate itself (to or even around new locations) is more tactically sound than waiting for your stilts to rot.
If a hippy can do it with garbage, imagine what could be done with a bunker budget?

>implying Sealand isn't just a shack on a platform
The goal is to follow their example, fucktard
if this is going to work, we need to plan ahead and build a quarantine platform for when /pol/ releases the vocal chord parasites

It's not. It's supports are livable space.
>>30581712
>the tower is subject to Federal requirements for submerged land and improvements therein
Fuck. Then it's claimed as US territory, as they did improvements to land under the continental shelf.
>no international waters
>no legal dueling as a means to whittle down the population of tripfags

>Implying gobermnet would care about a rusty drilling platform off the coast off england
>>30584209
No, this is the Chesapeake one I'm talking about. It almost looks like Sealand could be refloated and moved...
>>30584060
Think of it this way.
Q: What happens to a pack of /k/ommandos crammed into one box?
A: Its not going to end well and we know it.
Now dozens of free floating compounds each flying its own flag allows for expansion, individual expression and the option of moving contained areas to the rear or away.
Each section starts small and modular from salvaged material so start up cost is realistic. Free floating steerable/semi powered 70% landmass vessels are hard to classify and regulate (considering its mostly root balls and topsoil around buoyant frameworks). Do it in mass and be a group force to be reckoned with. But once again many flags, no leader like a squat city.
Cant raid the whole place at once, each compound island over watches each other. Compromised areas can be cut loose or scuttled without effecting the whole.
A cluster of islands can be pulled out with a tug into a string to blockade areas, cut off/ control routes or even wrap around a vessel like a snake.
Dont be a zit to be popped, be a spore mold that cant be stopped.
>>30584183
>14 miles out
>12+ miles is international waters
I think they just claim it currently, but once it's sold it should be in international waters
>>30584763
The issue is that they built up from pilings driven underground into the continental shelf; thus, an improvement made to US owned land. Claims on the land of the continental shelf extend beyond 12 miles. A boat just off of the platform would be in international waters, but as soon as they moor, they're on land that falls under US jurisdiction.
>hit 12 miles
>grind down sears, go full retard
>place full auto funs in a floating locker moored with a "temporary" mushroom mooring a few hundred feet away from the platform
>tie up to platform; no longer in international waters
>>30584626
>Q: What happens to a pack of /k/ommandos crammed into one box?
You're right. The STDs would be rampant, and someone would get shot by an arrow for drinking someone's vodka.
>>30585016
Except if that's accurate than there would be a 12 mile radius around that platform that's US, as well.
>>30586157
Pretty much what I was thinking.
>>30580442
Turn it into a casino/brothel and make money on that thing.
Very much supporting floating platforms/artificial islands. Easier to make and maintain, harder to pin down, better living conditions, etc.
>>30584143
I never knew that.
Any idea how much of it is filled with water?
>>30588866
None of it except the base against the seabed.
>thinking a u.s. coast guard-maintained aid to navigation is somehow not america
you guys are teh funnay

Here's a video from a guy who made one out of trash. Most of it is just rambling, but there are some scattered gems.

>>30589071
He's a little loopy, but that's actually a really cool project.
>>30589494
For sure. Imagine using 55 gallon drums and starting with seedlings instead of growing trees/shrubs from seed. You could establish things pretty damn quick.
You'd be using salt-tolerant species anyway, but a perimeter wall/berm to keep out the worst of the spray would probably be a good idea.
>>30589577
Exactly. Grow one section at a time, tow them in position and before long they become one big island.
>>30589619
What part of the US you in? Might be interesting to try a mockup/demo
>>30580442
I actually live in the area. I have basic electronics knowledge, hasgunz, and nothing better to do. If we score this thing it might be time to get over my strong disliking of the open ocean. Although mild storms will be total shit your pants out there.
>>30589631
Toronto, lol.
A proof of concept could be done on the great lakes. It would have to be sturdy enough to survive winter, though.
>>30589636
Radar to avoid them and really fucking deep keels, anon, that's the secret.
>>30580570
first post best post
>>30589656
It isn't a boat though, it can't move out of the storm.
>>30589652
Ah, I'm in Maine, so a bit far off. Let me know if you try something though!
>>30590046
Does a thing have to be a boat to move? They'd be more or less navigable, just pretty slow
>>30590084
It is attached to the seabed with 180 foot concrete and steel posts. It is not like Sealand where it could potentially move.
>>30590153
Ah, sorry, thought you were talking about floating islands. My bad
>>30590173
Heт пpoблeм. Confusion happens.
