As you know we tried to build an extension to preform research.
However space is dangerous, and our trade fleet is too busy with Ames to build that quickly.
So some people though it was good to annoy us. Well, let's show what Zoner can do.
So I'll ask you some help to build the foundation of this extension.
Since we have earned lot of found by Software and research, I have decided to spend 600.000.000 Sc on it.
What we need is supply for a core lvl 2, a shield, and a defense module.
And more if you are ready for it.
If you want to participate or finalize the deal, this Channel is for it.
As we had no working partnership in the past, I would like to change it. Phoenix is interesting to help Ames people.
Deal sounds fair, sir. We could to sign at this contract as primary suppliers. But we have no problems if some other Zoner group would like to participate in this project.
We'd be happy to help. Especially with the shield.
As for the price, that sounds fair if it will be paid out through the dealer instead of a lump sum at the end. That'll mean a lot less paperwork for you, as well as our accountants. If that is acceptable we'll begin gathering the goods.
Thanks for your answer.
So to make it easy for both of us, each commodity will have a sell price on the base.
That introduce a new question : Should we set all commodities at the same price, or different one ?
Also we have done a survey with a Phoenix for the Ames Jump coordinate, safe from all Dark Matter interference.
Feel free to ask for it, I'll sent it to you on a private com.
We're performing some market research to figure out the cost of the materials you require. I'll forward OSI's recommendations once our research team hands them to me.
I was just handed the numbers and our recommendations are as follows:
Industrial Materials - 600 credits per ton
Ship Hull Panels - 1200 credits per ton
Robotics - 1450 credits per ton
Basic Alloy - 250 credits per ton
Super Alloy - 1400 credits per ton
Optronics - 800 credits per ton
Cryocubes - 1500 credits per ton
Polymers - 600 credits per ton
Xenobiotic Filters - 800 credits per ton
Munitions - 3000 credits per ton
Quantum Multiplexers - 1600 credits per ton
Nuclear Devices - 2000 credits per ton
Superconductors - 600 credits per ton
Assuming that 100% of the materials needed to upgrade the station to Core 2, construct a shield generator and a defense platform are required you're looking at a cost of 635 million credits. A tad over your budget, I know. The most costly material are the robotics and this stems from the distance required to obtain them. If there are enough transports willing we can organize a few jump convoys to obtain the robotics at a cheaper rate of 600 per ton. This would put you under budget.
If these prices are agreeable with the TAZ, the Phoenix, and yourself, Edward; I'd like to get started as soon as you are ready. Let us know so we can arrange to have part of our transport fleet moved to your region.
Concerning the Robotic Price, we have 2 choice for reduce it.
The first is : We know that omega system need software and usually we sold them a FP1, so I can grant you access to them to sold it at FP1. However some house consider it as counterfeit sadly.
The second is : Phoenix can also do a barge Jump to FP1 in order to get robotic. That will also decrease it's price.
Then I guess we will begin the project tomorrow.
And one last things : I guess A storage module could be a nice add to avoid to surcharge the base before the core upgrade. So that will add 75.000.000 to the global price.
After running the numbers again, with the inclusion of the storage module and the additional 75 million credits, I am certain the extension can be built within your stated budget.
We'll begin stocking some of the harder to get materials on Nichols in preparation for this project.
Thanks for your current supply.
The basic shield generator has been build in a record time due to your fast supply.
We will adapt it to Radiation soon.
Storage Done.
Basic alloy for the core upgrade is done.
Also I will change something. We decided to not build defense module. Since we are on a trade-way a weapon platform can be not welcome, especially near 2 houses.
So I'll go to the core upgrade and 2 more storage for the lab.
