HELLO, GENTLEMEN.
This message is addressed to all construction corporations. Rock Corporation announces a tender for the construction of a station in the COLOGNE system. We believe that 30 million marks should be enough for all stages of construction.
We need a third-level base. The Freelancer ID. It should have 4 storage modules, an exotic weapons laboratory, an exotic materials laboratory, and a scrap metal recycling plant. The name of the database should be "Rock". The base should be located at the gate to Stuttgart.
We are ready to listen to your suggestions.

Greetings.
It would appear nobody is interested in your offer. Here's a suggestion. I have a crack team that's able to get the base up within few days. But I'd have to pull them from their regular duties. So. The offer needs to be more interesting.
Make it 100 million and I'll bite. That should get the stone balls rolling. Make no mistake, ours are made of steel, but for you we can make an exception.
Dear Galen Wrecker, I will agree to this amount if the base is fourth level. Otherwise, we will not consider any amount above 30 million. BUT, if you build a third-level base with all the modules we have listed, we will pay you a bonus of 20 million on top of that amount. That makes a total of 50 million.
This is our final offer. We await your response.

Dear Mr. ... *briefly considers intentionally misspelling surname but decides to refrain*.
Let's get real here. We both know there is no such thing as a final offer and everything is negotiable. Anyway:
It seems someone on your negotiation team did not do their homework. You should probably fire that person. In fact, at this time, I ought to bill you for the cost estimates just for the sake of appearances.
Simply put:
The net* cost of input resources for the Level 3 base with the requested modules approaches 30 million credits. (*) As opposed to gross cost.
That means, without paying for the following:
Repair materials needed to bring the hull strength to maximum, thus completing construction
Crew essentials for the time the base will be under construction
Employee salaries to compensate them for time spent actually shipping the goods ... that is: (1) the net inputs, (2) repair & maintenance supplies, aka Alloys, Robotics, Hull Panels; (3) Food, Oxygen, Water
Insurance payments and/or private security
Some sort of profit margin for the management of this entire operation. We are not a charity.
As a sign of goodwill, I would happily share the cost breakdown with you, for a fee.
Also, on the odd chance that you do decide to make your vision a reality after all, we can discuss payment plan and scheduling. I have been informed about the recent history of the "Rock" base. An event of this scale of explosiveness is hard to miss. Therefore a lump sum payment at the end of construction is just too risky to consider. I need to know you also have some skin in the game, once construction starts.
Dear Galen Wrecker,We are more than aware of the cost of deploying a base of this level. Our company built several stations and sold them or gave them to factions controlling the sector.
We sold the Rock base because we no longer needed a station in that sector. We did not consider it feasible to move to a new sector. The new owner was unable to protect his property, and that is his misfortune.
As for our negotiations regarding the base and its deployment, we believe that the sum of 50 million more than covers all your construction costs. If you are not satisfied with this amount, we will deploy the complex ourselves after completing all preparations.
P.S. And sorry for the mistakes. Apparently, ion storms affect signal transmission.
Hello again, Mr. Galen Wrecker. We have reviewed the estimate you sent us. Okay (pause), we agree to your terms. We will pay you 100 million for setting up the base. All terms and conditions must be fully complied with. We would like to know approximately how long it will take you to complete the contract. Please provide us with an account number where we can transfer the advance payment, which will be 25 percent of the total amount.
You will receive the remaining amount as soon as we receive the access codes to the base control systems.
We look forward to your response, Mr. Galen Wrecker.
Hello again, Mr. Galen Wrecker. We are not used to waiting so long for a response to our request. We have some doubts, so we will not be signing the contract.
