Dear Sir or Madam,

The Independent Miners Guild are in the process of updating and potentially renegotiating the currently existing tech exchange agreements.

This reevaluation has been triggered by the siriuswide liberalisation of the equipment, ship and weapon markets.

Therefore the Independent Miners Guild would like to present its new technology rules in case the Bounty Hunters Guild is interested in aquiring more IMG technology in the future.


> Recommendations:

I can recommend the Nanda Devi bomber that is - in my opinion - superior to the BHG bomber when it comes to anti-warship operations. The 3 slot bomber can support Disruptor, Nova and Supernova and can dish out enormous damage.

The Gasherbrum gunboat has performed very well with BHG gunboat cannons. The core can support these guns rather well and when armored it is one of the sturdiest boats out there. I promise, it can take the heat.


> IMG Technology and Availablility:

• Ships: light fighter (Manaslu), very heavy fighter (Lhotse) and bombers (Nanda Devi) are freely available in unlimited numbers to the BHG
  
• Weapons: Vampire guns are freely available in unlimited numbers to the BHG
  
• Gunboat: Gunboats (Gasherbrum) and their equipment will be granted to allies on request. Construction time might cause a slight delay if no ships are available at the moment of request.
  
• Battlecruiser (Sagarmantha): I do not assume that BHG shows any interest in an aquisition as the primary objective for this heavy cruiser is long range exploration and the BHG warships seem much more combat capable than our ship, yet in case there was interest, it is negotiable.
  

> Update Request:

We would also want to ask for an update on the current granted BHG technology, which consists of:

• 1 test version of every fighter
  
• 1 test version of the bomber
  
• 1 test version of every gunboat
  
• additional permission for 3 BHG Manta
  
• additional permission for 3 BHG Bottlenoses
  
• unlimited access to BHG guns
  

Manta: Our tests have shown that the Manta performs very well under fire and outclasses the Lhotse, so we would like to ask for an increase in the numbers that we can employ for defense.

Bomber: The Bounty Hunter bomber has proven to be a niche-ship for one special purpose: Hellfire Barrage. The Guild would ask for an upgrade from one ship to "a few" if this is possible. While the Nanda Devi is superior, the surprise of a full Hellfire BHG bomber can turn fights.

Bottlenose: The combat effectiveness of the gunship is high, even though the light armor plating makes it vulnerable in large engagements. The Bottlenose proved to be a great asset in protection of mining operations in hot zones like the Taus. We would like to request the number that the IMG flies to be increased.

Thank you for your time and I hope to see your ships soon again in the Taus. We have a lot of ships that need to be shot there and I think our rewards per kill are one of the best offered in all of Sirius.

Yours sincerely

Jack Henderson
IMG Operations Coordination
