CHAPTER 6

After a few minutes chatting with the barman and 2 hours of waiting for the tonight's auction for the sale of this unfinished ship, the auction began. In quick words - i bought it. It was hard...there was some freelancer H. Stern, who had the cash to buy any Battleship he wanted, he didnt make the auction easy. But - the bartender, true to his words, helped me out. When the freelancer offered a 100 million in cash, the bartender dragged him aside and told him something...then the freelancer withrewed from the auction, i bought the ship for the sum of 70 million credits.
Later that evening, me and my friend found ourselves sitting inside the unique spacecraft. There were wires and unfinished board systems everywhere, only the lighting there was finished and working. The chief engineer-robot ERN-397 was ready to compute with my orders of the ship's interiour and exteriour. First thing to choose - the powerplant. Not easy - i still had no idea what kind of ship this could turn out to be. I wanted something heavy, that could compete with the BHG_Destroyer. I wanted it to be tricked out with the best systems available to the Junkers. I ordered a strong powerplant model, built in rheinland by the popular Kim Somtaaw corporation, which builds mainly exotic fighter-class vessels. "The power would be more than enough to supply destroyer and cruiser turrets!" said my friend. The engines - we thought to use different parts from many origins to build them. The goal was - agility, equal or better than the BHG_Destroyer, fitting to the weight of my new spacecraft. The last important thing to decide - the mounting points for the external equipment...including, turrets. The turrets have to be stable all the time, they have to be as many as possible and - they have to fire in as many angles as possible. Finally, ERN-397 came up with a hollographic plan of the whole finished ship - it looked small and agile, the size of an BHG_Orca gunboat, with 9 turrets, which is 1 more than the BHG_Destroyer! I couldnt ask for more - the perfect ship for Bounty Hunter Boba Drowner!
