I have wired you the money for the agreed contract. You will see an attached proof to this message.
Give me a few pointers, though. I've got no need for the Military's weaponry, but a powerplant is pretty much mandatory. Are you sure there is no way of adding such to the package for a fitting amount of money? Or maybe help me with a compatible powerplant. Aftermarket if need be. I am willing to spend a little more just to have the ship operational when I come to pick it up.

I bid you a good day,
We thank you for choosing our company as a solution for your current issues.
Although our company lacks a license to sell Rheinland powerplants, we can offer you a set of spare parts for one of such units, then someone licensed could build a suitable powerplant for your fighter.
A complete set of spare parts for the power unit will add 3,000,000 credits to your order as these spare parts are very valuable.
Have a pleasant and productive day,
Maxwell Winters,
Bristol C&M.
That's more like it. It doesn't solve the general issue, but at least its something. I have sent you the credits for it. I'll add a bonus to it if the order is done swiftly as a "thank you" for your customer service.

I bid you a good day,
We thank you for choosing our company. Both payments have been confirmed and schedule for your order is:
Salvage vessel BCV Oregon will be relocated to Bering on Thursday.
Salvage operations will be done on Friday.
Salvaged fighter chassis will be restored by Sunday and it will be available for picking up along with required powerplant spare parts on Monday.
If you would have any issues with transporting your goods from Bristol Bay, Bristol C&M can arrange its delivery to the non-criminal installation of your choosing.
Have a pleasant and productive day,
Maxwell Winters,

According to our preliminary analysis, the fighter has been disabled after suffering catastrophic damage to its propulsion. The whole chassis will have to be decontaminated as a result and several parts of the chassis will have to be replaced due to the changed chemical composition of the material.
You do not need to reply to this message as your order is still being processed. Details are attached below.
Have a pleasant and productive day,
Maxwell Winters,
Bristol C&M.
Type: 90-ARKM-N9 "Valkyrie" Heavy Fighter Techbase: Rheinland Manufacturer: Daumann Heavy Construction Status: Disabled after suffering a critical damage
Damage Suffered:
Combat Damage - Critical damage suffered to the propulsion unit from military-grade laser weapons, Liberty in origin. Coolant piping damage and content evaporated, partial powerplant meltdown and catastrophic capacitor discharge. 22% of the powerplant is recoverable or repairable.
Chassis Condition:
Minor scratches and dents all over the frontal section - Possible Cause: Flying through the Bering's fine debris without shields on numerous occasions, possible because of the combat action, repairable.
Major metallurgical change in aft section - Possible Cause: Powerplant meltdown, replaceable.
Salvageable modular electronics and weapons have been missing from the ship - Possible Cause: Removed by the salvagers or military units some time after the ship was disabled.
Conclusion:
The fighter is to be disassembled, its individual parts decontaminated and all non-repairable components are to be removed. Chassis will a complete geometry overhaul and material fatigue analysis before being assembled again. No serious complications are expected.

I bid you a good day,
Your goods have been inspected and they are within our ability to restore it as you ordered. The hull has been already disassembled, decontaminated and it is now able to withstand another 100,000 flight hours at minimum, as long as you will operate the hull within its original safety parameters. Your goods will be available for pick up aboard Bristol Bay, Bering System from 1800, 27/06/829 - or on any neutral station of your choosing if you wish to have it delivered wherever you will find it more convenient.
More details will be attached below and we thank you for choosing our company as a solution for your needs.

Type: 90-ARKM-N9 "Valkyrie" Heavy Fighter Techbase: Rheinland Manufacturer: Daumann Heavy Construction
Chassis Condition: 100%; Fully restored, fatigued and warped components replaced. Powerplant Condition: 22%; Catastrophic damage, irrepairable components removed and scrapped, others have been restored and put back into the chassis. Propulsion Condition: 50%; Thrusters fully restored, but powerplant is a key component in ship's propulsion. Weaponry Condition: 0%; Weapons with their targeting systems have been removed a while ago. Electronics Condition: 20%; Basic systems only, sensors and communications have been removed a while ago.
Conclusion:
Fighter's chassis has been carefully disassembled, decontaminated and inspected for micro-craks and material fatigue. Unacceptable components have been replaced, acceptable components have been cleaned and received a new anti-corrosion coating before being reassembled again.
No special procedures needed, simulated tests estimated that the restorations has given fighter's hull another set of 100,000 flight hours before having to be restored again.
Recommendations:
Operate the fighter within its safety parameters, perform a general components inspection every 5,000 hours.
Additional Package:
Powerplant spare parts (78%), Propulsion components (50%).
That's great news, Maxwell. Look, uhm. Something came up and I'm in a bit of a rush. I know we agreed that I'll pick the ship on Monday, but is there a chance we can finish the paperwork to requisition the chassis faster? I believe I've found someone authorised to repair what your company is unable to due to legal reasons and and whatever.

I bid you a good day,
A protective coating on all your ship's components has not been fully cured yet. However, according to my engineers, it is possible for you to pick your goods right away and perform said procedure whenever it will be convenient for you.
Understandable, we will not be able to guarantee our estimated lifespan of 100,000 flight hours if we cannot finish these procedures as we planned. Rough estimate is that without this procedure, lifespan of the hull will be reduced by at least 20%, but not more than 50%.
Should you accept that the Bristol C&M will not be held responsible for any failures accidents or malfuctions experienced while you will be operating your fighter, we can give it to you right away - location is the same - Bristol Bay, Bering System.
Have a pleasant and productive day,

That's more like it, Maxwell. While I get the goods from Bristol you should find your Bank Account with a few more credits than usual. I will come with the ship later on to finish the process.
It's been some time - a few years if I'm not wrong. You helped me out with a custom order. Namely a ship that's still going strong to this day. Either way, I've got something that could use your expertise as well as something I'd appreciate to receive some form of clarification.
I'm looking for fighter-class powercore parts. To be more precise I'm looking for civilian variants made by Daumann, or if you have something of your own making to be compatible with ships of Rheinland origin. I'm also interested in your expertise of extracting military salvage from Bering. Any spare parts for my Valkyrie are welcomed.
And then there's the matter of your craftsmanship. You are, officially, known as 'Bristol Constructions & Manufacturing. I'd like you to make something for me. A set of four high quality weapons centered around high refire rate and high damage per projectile. Can you make something like that?
Let me know if you can be of service,
