Understood, thank you. I have contacted Phoenix Shipyards and they are building a Carrier Converter. Could you inform me of when they are to "lose" this ship?

"If you fund our organization I will be more than happy to provide beyond decent protection for your operation... just tell me where your trade show is and I can promise fighters and capital ships..."
Very good. For now, I just want you to look out for the Transport-Pilots Adam O'Connel and Michael Schultze.
You'll receive your first payment shortly.

Sir, I have just received word of the expected costs of Project Gamma. Total expected costs are 400 million credits. So far we have 34 Million credits. Requesting funding support Sir. We would be able to do it ourselves, but it would take several weeks without help. With help, the project will take just a few days longer from the time that we receive the ship.
Grand Admiral Mori out.

Some of the R&Ders have had issues with funding before. That was before we sunk several million credits into a little funded black ops project. In a few weeks we've been able to reap quite a good profit credits in our little venture. We've been able to fully fund Project Virage without outside investors. If you would like we could funnel some our resources to Project Gamma. We'll be in contact with our operative soon about project funding in a few days.
The boys down at R&D have been pretty busy these days tooling around with ideas. Most of the ideas have been outright rejected. Crazy engineers wanted to mount warship class guns on a transport for commerece raiding. Strange people down there. However one of the engineers came up with an intersting idea called Strike Cannons. The preposed idea would be to stagically place units of 3 or 4 Strike Cannons in key spots to fire on incoming captial ships. Each Strike Cannon would mount 3 main guns. The goal would be to damage or cripple capital ships before they could do signifact damage. As of right now Strike Cannons hasn't gotten off of the drawing board but if they do it could provide a cheaper means of defending Vespucci rather than relying on large amounts of capital ships.

OOC: Here is a youtube clip from the PS1 game Colony Wars that shows what a Strike Cannon does to capital ships. This class of ship would be based off of that one.

On the bar in Vespucchi, people are sitting around and one man gets everyone's attention and points out the window. A burning ship comes toward the base and docks. A man steps out. Drake Thastus yells out "Hey Vulture, how did you get out of that prison?" Vulture just smiles and says "Ya didn't think ya could lose me that fast did ya?"
War with SA ended, started again, ended again, Oso left the server, Elgato left and just came back, There's a big huge RP story going on (See the Black Hearts, closed doors... and war crimes thread in the stories section for more info), the Nomads just invaded Vespucci, my battleship got turned into a debris field by those same Nomads and is now being repaired, my character is half dead and can't talk or type, and Drake Thastus is beyond powerful... Well, that pretty much sums it up. Oh yes, and I'm working on a nice big weapons project right now for the RP story:)
And I'm now the record holding recruiter of the Legion, and we have a ton of new guys, and there's a new rank in between Major and Pilot, 1st class (Lt.), and we have two new Lts. (Gruber and Aaron, two of our recruits, very good pilots, both pretty good at RP too).
ooc: Yes super how about YOU NEVER post in my dump mmkay?
And Mista welcome back buddy, yeah Drake does mean things to nomads;)and yeah Denelo summed it up pretty nicely so yeah. You probably have no ships or anything due to inactive player wipes. So if and when HF actually gets some cash I'll see what I can throw your way.
I was thinking you'd be a bit below Denelo on the seniority, as he's been serving a lot lately, and they are too many people that are high-ranking as it is...
I am a long-absent Supreme Commander, Executive Commander, Grand Admiral, Fleet Admiral, and Captain in the mighty Hellfire Legion. I have returned, and am on an urgent mission from Drake Thastus to return the Legion to its former glory, and to claim the galaxy for its own. Only then will I be able to rest.
