It has been a while, but I believe that a small update on the progress is in order.
But first of all, I wanted to make sure that you do not forget what you are working towards for, so I think you will find the LR-Hard.Work.Pays and the Cargo onboard a suitable first of of many payments towards the Marauders.
A fair warning though, the pulse cannons provided are Maltese in origin, which means that most of the tech used in it is a straight copy off the legendary Inferno pulse cannon the Outcasts use. In other words, we ourselves have been briefed very little on how they work and our previous attempts to disassemble or modify this particular technology ended up with a few vacancies in our RnD department.
Back to the progress at hand. We have made progress on manouvering the larger objects into place and your shipments of materials are now being used to stitch it all together. The two destroyers we provided as tugs are currently being merged with the construction to provide a temporary power plant for the whole project, until we can replace it with something more interesting.
Right now the whole thing as immobile as immobile gets, so once we get the first dock operational, I think that constructing the first set of propulsion systems will be the best choice. As such, we will need a fair amount of Engine Components as well as High Temperature Alloy.
The hollowing operations are going quickly, so once we set up the needed facilities, the first mechanics and engineers can take over with decking out their workspace. And, obviously, the first constructed section of the interior will be a Bar. Because if you are going to indeed build a mobile shipyard, you might as well be drunk.

Oh, I just received a computer simulation of what the end product could look like.

It's been awhile, we've had some slight issues with steady supplies and the like. With all the stuff we've been moving we've had to lay low for awhile, otherwise the Colonials could potentially follow us and track down the location of the shipyard. As a show of respect for your advance payment, i've sent over a little something extra of my own as an apology for the delay in supply, feel free to smoke it or sell I dont really care.
With this stuff brought in you should be able to get yourselves to the point where you're at least partially mobile, although i'm not certain if anything that large can ever be considered to move quickly.
