Guten Tag Field Marshall,

I'll just get right to it. I'm not happy with this response and am quite disappointed considering you were very willing to provide us with a number of refitted snubcraft earlier. According to our engineers, gunships would require very similar modifications for us to to become usable, larger ships would of course become more difficult, but we wouldn't be able to sustain those anyway.

However it appears the Coalition would rather send a much bigger ship and its crew to our aid? That seems to be a lot more effort than modifying a single gunship. In addition to that there'd be a number of problems with such an operation that makes it impossible anyway.

First of all, we are simply not capable of supporting capital ships. One of the reasons I requested for a gunship is because such vessels are almost like flagships to us, our bases lack the equipment, men and supplies to support stationing a capital ship especially now that we are recovering from recent losses. In addition a large warship with a non-Bundschuh crew would be unlikely to restore trust, in the current situation it'd only make a lot of people even more suspicious.

I don't really expect that you change your decision, yet for the sake of our factions' friendship I still hope you reconsider.
