Ah... there was something else I meant to address but did not have a chance to.
I want a Zoner Gunship. And your Fury photon cannons for limited use by two of our... specialist teams. These teams will be in the Omegas and Omicrons acting against anything shortsighted enough to support the Corsairs.
Now, I know you want some degree of deniability when the Navy or Military come knocking on your door. We have mechanics. Teach us how to maintain it and you can simply say that you haven't been given the chance to reclaim your equipment. We already make a point of not landing on your bases when the police are around, so you can even claim to have denied us docking rights; for all they'll know, it's true.
And the gunship... we both know the Junkers have a few they've picked up from... somewhere. We can just say it was salvaged and that some weapon dealers were bribed.
"i am very afraid to tell you that our production capacities are currently offline due to technical problems and maintenance operations throughout this system.
there are currently no new ships being produced as the supply of raw materials has ceased due to recent political inconveniences. - however, the "conference" armoured transport has been produced in large numbers and i am sure that vendors still have a large quantity of those models in stock.
so while it may not be possible to produce custom made ships for our customers at that time, there are still stock models available.
for further information, you may speak to a TAZ or an OSI representative for official approval.
rest asured that our production will soon start again and that livadia will be operational soon - for the time being though, there are still plenty of ships available at Ames station or our other dedicated ship vendors.
have a nice day,
sincerely, E. Tate
postscript:
the people of Baffin possess another large shipyard which is sophisticated enough to build our largest ships, too. your best bet may be to check in to their office of communication"
The Temporary Autonomous Zoners are yet to address on the matter of officially allowing and withholding Zoner technology to outsiders.
Due to the current situation the Zoners face our position is a precarious one.
Although I am aware that there may be remnants of the Zoner Trading Consortium that are willing to do this...
Otherwise I must ask for your patience in this matter.

Greetings Mr. Escher,
my apologies for the delay. We're currently very busy, so let's make it short. We grant the usage of the Conference Gunboat and the blasters, which somehow got lost in the chaos out here...
