To: All lawful factions - Highland Mining Corporation needs gunboat!

[Kaiden]

Hello!

I am Thomas Coombs, commander of the Highland Mining Corporation (subsidiary of DSE) mining vessel HMC.YUSHIN-MARU.

We are in the market for the purchase of a Gunboat class warship for escorting our transport barges from the mining site to the best port of call. We would only be using this warship for protecting our interests.

At present we have two "Hegemon" class mining vessels, a "Heron" transport train, and a Raven's Talon VHF. We simply do not have enough experienced fighter jockeys to go into fighters so our best option is to go with a gunboat.

We will be willing to pay extra for this ship for the privilege.

Please contact me either in this article or at my ship, which is HMC.YUSHIN-MARU.

Thanks again.

[Kaiden]

In particular, we would like to negociate with the Zoners, Bretonia, Liberty and the Bounty Hunters Guild. If some agreement may be reached we would be very happy.

Thank you for your response, but be aware that we would never ask for IMG equipment, that was sort of a given.

Thanks for your erm... polite response.

Sir,
Thankyou for your request to purchase a Bretonian Gunboat. I have to, however, deny your request as these vessels are sorley needed to defend Bretonia against all and sundry who try to attack our nation.

I will say that the Fleet Admiral has the final say but i would not think that he would allow it either. Ounce again i thank you for your interest in one of our fine vessels and who knows, maybe in the future when the war is won they may become available.

Yours aye

Commodore Jack Frost

Reisiger Duke: Thank you for your response. We look forward to any further news regarding this.

Commodore Frost: Thank you for your speedy response, it saddens us that you would be unable to spare one of your gunboat class vessels but I do understand they will be needed more in the fighting against Kusari.

Re: Zoner Gunship

Hello Duke. Firstly may I thank you immensely for your allowance for us to use a Zoner Conference class gunboat. An offshoot of our group is infact in the trading business and they very often stop by the various freeports to sell and buy items.

As a token of our appreciation, I can see to it that we will assist any Zoner Alliance ships in need with your permission.

Regards

Thomas Coombs

Greetings Mr. Coombs.


Thank you for your kind words.

In order to process your permission to use the vessel, we still need the vessels exact designation.

I assume the name will be along the line of [color=#CCFFFF]HMC.SHIPNAME ?
