I'ld like to think that Samura will rather buy the ship that is from Kusari line if their performances are equally good. rather than going foreign, especially since prices are the same, and one purchase strengthens up Kusari, other one strengthens up the other country.
It could fly ofcourse, but I wouldn't act too suprised when I ask how come that a company that worked and lobbied so hard for FA against synth paste has decided to ignore the Kusari manufacturer and go with the foreign.
And I dont mean I'ld shrug and ask, I mean I'ld ask as an Chairman of Kishiro on the Council discussions.
