That's good news, Alec. Keep me informed regarding ongoing progress on Kadesh, I am still resident on Corfu and my responsibilities held me there for some time. I would like to extend our production possibilities by survey module, as I believe our ships are indeed in need of an independent source of newly made coordinates, to ensure their accuracy and this safety of our flotilla within edge worlds. Occupy yourself with preparations for construction of survey module, once works with jumpdrive factory will be completed.
And by the way, that's quite nice idea you have brought. BW series transports are indeed are quite cheap at maintaining and its running costs, but unfortunately there’s another side of the coin: its simplicity which bordering its primitive design and unfriendly-ish conditions for the crew and pilot. I would like to be more concerned in regard of C-5 “Bison” transports, as they seem to be a great replacement of Borderword Train. According to what I’ve heard, its a ship quite comfortable to travel, reliable vessel and afterall the complexity of defensive systems is impressive, once I’ve paid a visit on such class vessels on a business trip on the Erie, as some of my relatives are still working on libertonian corporations. Though I hold no information regarding the Grizzly, I shall depend on your knowledge.
I’ll contact Order in the regard once next breakdown in the negotiations, I believe we could get several C-5 and Grizzly with all required technical information. Most likely it’ll be a good experience for the Construction and Development department, I want to hear would it be possible to adopt these ships to our technical standards, to be less dependable in question of tradeships gear, like with borderword technology, furthermore I believe in first time we could service them on the Cairo, as I remember local shipdealer offer these vehicles.
Dirk, I am glad to hear everything went well with your ship, but I wouldn’t restrict our tradefleet passage through Outcast space, it is still a vital path for various commodities for construction of Kadesh Colony. Perhaps it’s a time to contact Outcast representatives, and see who’s who and set diplomatic channels with our neighbors. Lives of pilots we’ve lost shouldn’t be forgotten.
