Mr. Sentinel (if I can call you as such),

Again please forgive my long delay in response. DMC experienced a massive power loss and had been adrift for over a week. We have regained control and have re-positioned the base in a safer area. Currently we are getting systems back online and are resuming normal operations as best as possible

We are always happy to accept trade from any non-hostile enemy's, but you should be aware of the delicate position we are in. I am more familiar with your group and your relations with other groups in the Omicrons. Your diplomatic status is really of little concern to me, as long as your peaceful. You are free to request of any DMC tagged vessel for loading provided that you do not cause any issue with the other organizations who we are also engaged with trade with. DMC is attempting to stay neutral to all lawful entities and at this point does not restrict docking or trade with anyone. So I am merely asking that while accessing our services you and your keep as low a profile as possible as to not create a misunderstanding that would force us to re-consider. I ask of you and your group to treat us like a Freeport. Respect those who also trade with us even if you don't agree with them and there wont be a problem.

As far as any discounting goes, I am afraid we do not have any specific need of any imported materials at this point. This will change however once initial hull construction of the base is complete and we move towards core upgrades. Most of our available storage is dedicated to Ore and the base will not accept items such as Hull Segments, Reinforced Alloys and Robotic Hardware as our limited storage requires constant management by our warehouse team and deliveries must be scheduled on an 'as needed' basis.

That being said I have instructed my field officers to determine mining prices by immediate needs of the base facility. Discounts can be negotiated in the field by officers depending on varying factors. We will be making some adjusting to our pricing in the next 24 hours, now that we have the comms array back online and can update base info on the station network. Generally you can expect to pay approx. 20% of max sell value of ore in the field and 25% on base. In all honestly the best way to get a discount is to offer hauling services to our miners, we are perpetually short staffed and you could likely get filled for next to nothing.

Please feel free to contact us further in regards to this matter.
