Your assumptions are true - I am sceptical about all of this. It is not all about necessary power - it must compact enough to fit within such vessel and its existing cooling systems. How it will behave when the vessel is taking hits and its power fluctuates? How maintenance intensive it will be to keep it in running order?

Tuttavia, I am still interested in this little venture if your engineers will manage to solve all these issues I have mentioned above and I am willing to reward them handsomely.

But before I send non-classified specifications of my vessel - What are these 'strings' you are talking about, Signor Leon?

I was expecting some restrictions of my operations, but your conditions are reasonable enough. As there is none else selling 'Rift' coordinates at this moment, I see no particular reasons why I should have issues with this - at least for now.

I am sending you the required specifications for your engineers. They should have everything needed - powerplant output, cooling capacity and volumetric space.

There is a small catch, however, as reserve cooling capacity is without any damage sustained and all systems operating at full capacity. Warships, unlike civilian ships, take hits in combat and cooling systems are the ones that are affected the most by combat damage and thus built with redundancy. It would be best, if said Jump Drive would produce as least heat as possible, or even had its own dedicated emergency cooling system.

Grande. I am looking forward for your results with this promising project, especially if you will make it usable in much harsher conditions.

Do let me know if you will require additional funding for your R&D. While my resources are far from limitless - I am more than willing to assist you or your teams financially to ensure that all of this will proceed smoothly enough.

I have sent a little grant your way. That should keep things going smoothly with your RA-machining bots.

Buona fortuna with those simulations and I will be waiting for their results.

Lavoro impressionante. You did much quicker than I expected. As I read your test results - you are far below significant 5% failure rate, and even below 2.5% - contrary to my initial expectations. Me and my engineers evaluated these preliminary simulations as acceptable and we can begin installing this drive to my vessel.

I hope that you have proper instruction manual and service schematics drawn out for it, so my computer and crew can be instructed how to provide recommended maintenance and repairs, along with some decent number of spare parts.

The only question remains - do you have necessary facilities at your disposal for this kind of work? While Amalfi is not as big as your NX-01 - installation of such jumpdrive to destroyer is still beyond simple EVA tasks.
