I only really looked into this after you guys contacted Bowex, and I have to say I was a little surprised when you did (inRP and OOC). Namely because so far as I can tell, the CTE line is a design series, and not produced by any one company or group.
Why, you've done my job for me by listing all of the different CTE infocards here. 'Produced by different groups and corporations', 'Zoner designers', 'Libertonian design'. They're open market designs produced locally by a huge variety of sources.
I mean, it'd make sense for there to be groups that make their money specifically catering to the manufacturing of CTE ships, but to claim to be the sole designer is frankly odd. But the point that concerns me more is the fact that if you contact someone and tell them that you've been selling them all their ships for a long, long time, that's basically borderline powergaming.
I was happy to RP with you guys anyway, as you can see from the response, but I feel with most factions you'd get a lot further by asking them if it's okay first.
