As a civilian ship manufacturer :
What ship building facilities do you use ?
I know its not easy to "get a wharft placed freely" and so on, but have you been thinking about inRP explanations ?
Or do you simply use the Zoner shipjards, renting space and / or cooperating with them there ?
Will you have the long term goal to build an own ship jard ?
I might have some interest in cooperating with you from Tinkers, definitively some long term RP I would enjoy.
