I'm going to treat that as a yes.
Remember that, while we are very much willing to help, we would like to remind you that breaking these terms and conditions will result in unpleasentness.
You ask for a list, and a list is exactly what I have for you.
Like I said before, the engineers have a few leftover parts that can be used.
As for the rest, please do make sure that you are not seen docking at or undocking from any of our bases by anyone during your travels other than by other Junkers. We currently are in a delicate position and must make sure to keep certain people happy who would rather see us gone. Please do not sabotage this, or we will be required to bar you entrance from our installations in the future. This isn't my choice, it's politics. I did mention that I don't like politics, didn't I. Anyway.
Back to the task at hand. Let me see what kind of... oh dear. Well, this isn't a list. It's more of a short novel that the engineers sent to me. I'll just try to get the most relevant information out of this and relay it to you.
Okay.
We require you to fly in 8000 unity of manifolds as a basic working material. These can be purchased from different Junker bases. If you are on good terms with our more exclusive facilities, you can grab them from Culebra Smelter in Puerto Rico for a low price. If you aren't, then you will need to bring them from our operations in New Berlin, though the price will be much higher there. This could be a chance to show us how deep your alliance with the Junkers truly runs, eh? ... Yeah. That was my attempt at a joke. Let's not try that again. Moving on!
For the more sturdy internal parts of the ship, we also need 2000 units of basic alloy. While manifolds are a good base, this will be as close to a military grade vessel as we can produce and some parts simply require standard material. Your best option here would probably be Allentown Base in Pennsylvania or, if you dare the exposure for the cheaper price, the Zoner's Bethlehem Station in the same system.
Due to the impurities in the manifolds, we also require 1000 boron in order to reinforce and meld the ingots with other materials. We wouldn't want the construction to fail due to a micro fissure, now would we? Boron is available for purchase at our base in New York, not too far from Planet Manhattan.
Now, these material have been for internal construction. We also need 4000 reinforced alloy for the outer hull as well as the ship's reactor. This should be easy to procure. The people at Freeport 2 in Bering sell it quite cheaply.
Next up are 500 units of h-fuel. These are required to get the reactor going. You will need to supply additional fuel for your own travels, but these 500 units are simply part of the construction process. I believe your own people export this from their base in California. Alternatively, you can get it from our people in Texas or, once again, from the Junker installation or even the Zoners in Pennsylvania. If you want it for a low price, you will need to go and meet up with the Mollies in Newcastle. Are you still allies? I hope so, as it would save you quite a bit of money.
Now, the next bit is 10 units of gravity field stabilizers. These are expensive and your only viable source is Thunder Bay Depot in Ontario. These are required for the creation of an artificial gravity field inside the ship, as well as for the construction of the reactor.
We will also need something to parse the data between ship systems. The engineers wrote down a lot of different options that don't seem to be available to you. Let me... No wait, here. They gave an alternative. You will require 500 bio-neural arrays. Your own group seems to sell those in the Alberta system. You could grab those and the gravity field stabilizers on the same trip. Just an idea.
Now, the final piece of the puzzle consists of 1000 units of ablative armor plating. These are required in order to reinforce the hull. After all, this is supposed to be a heavily armoured craft. Few places sell these and your only viable source seems to be the Valetta Shipyard all the way in Omicron Alpha. Maybe you could work out a deal with the Outcasts? It's gonna be a long trip otherwise.
While I am sure that you have other means of obtaining these items, these seemed to be the most obvious to me.
I'm gonna condense that a bit further.
8000 Manifolds
2000 Basic Alloy
1000 Boron
4000 Reinforced Alloy
500 H-Fuel
10 Gravity Field Stabilizers
500 Bio-neural Arrays
1000 Ablative Armor Plating
All of these materials are to be delivered to Vieques Shipyard in Puerto Rico. You will need to bring proof of delivery, so that the dock workers know whose goods these are.
Good luck!
