[In fact, the attack helo I know for sure is going to be a UCAR.]

OOC: Won't be too hard to do, I suppose. I already have two or three plausible concepts. As I noted, SS, drop me a list of requirements and I can pretty well design it as soon as, well, whatever. :D

Quick question, what's the "R" in UCAR stand for? Helicopter?

[Rotorcraft, I believe. IIRC, the entire acronym stands for Unmanned Combat Aerial Rotorcraft.]

OOC: I can live with that. When you have requirements, send them please, SS.

Oh, that reminds me, a note to everyone... Do you need a stealth Osprey? You know the tiltrotor USMC thing, but stealth.

[Um... probably not. I have all the bases covered for helos and the Edolian helos are going to be complex enough, even by helicopter standards, that another layer of complexity is going to be a bad thing.]

OOC: The "production cost" listed is the "procurement cost". /OOC
[OOC: Ah, I see. Perhaps you could have made that a little clearer in the article catalog itself, no offense intended.]

[OOC: Omz222, sorry to be lazy to edit but anyway, do I count to buy the F-120 "Darkhawk" Air Superiority Fighter and F/A-22 Raptor replacement, as I am a CAP member-nation?]

OOC: Of course. Just about anything except the ones marked by a "#".

[OOC: Roger that. And out of curiousity, are you open to subsidiary OMASC/NDI factories in foreign nations?]

OOC: It depends, but for plants on foreign soil we tend to want them to be numerous and large.

OOC: Dammit, need to get off my lazy ass and reorder munitions (I'm low). :p Yeah its a friendly bump. ;)

[Why don't you just buy production rights? It's what I do so I don't have to constantly keep count.]

[Why don't you just buy production rights? It's what I do so I don't have to constantly keep count.]

I should but it gives Omz more business so I do it for friendly reasons.

OOC: Well, you are a close ally and I wouldn't mind if you just buy the DPRs for the munitions :p (and a thank you for your good intentions too).

To: Dormoe J. Inkans, Procurement Director, OMASC National Defense Industries
From: General Peter Lee, Chief of the Southeast Asian Air Force, United Sovereign Nations of Southeast Asia
Subject: Re: Re: Globemaster III successor and making closer relations

Greetings once more,

In addition to the C-115 "Fastrider", yet another products designed by your esteemed corporation: the F-120A "Darkhawk" Air Superiority Fighter, which is designed to succeed the venerable F/A-22 Raptor - an aircraft that has been long in service with the Southeast Asian Air Force since the Union's early days.

It seems competent for the job....but alas, we have to see it for ourselves first before making a substantial purchase. So, on the behalf of the Southeast Asian Federal Parliament, the United Sovereign Nations of Southeast Asia wishes to acquire three units of the F-120A "Darkhawk" Air Supremacy Fighter. The cost of 705,000,000 Universal Standard Dollars shall be wired to your company's primary bank account upon the confirmation of the order.

In addition, I wish to say that the Fastrider's performance in the combat trials has been most impressive, most impressive indeed. However, the bureaucrats in Parliament, while the most of them have not served in the military, are highly selective and approach many foreign military units with highly demanding standards. Only the finest can pass in for service within our military, your corporation's product seems to stand a fairly good chance of doing so.

Now in speaking of your corporation, I have a question to ask you of: do you remember the United Kingdom of Isselmere-Nieland? Or do you remember the Woodstock Pact? A while ago, our nation applied for membership but was rejected, was the Omzian Democratic Republic amongst those that voted my homeland into not joining the Woodstock Pact, involving a controversial letter by our Foreign Minister involving the Kraven Corporation? And in speaking of the Corporation, do you remember the Democratic Soviet Republic of Kahanistan?

The Kahanistani State has recently had dealings with the United Kingdom of Isselmere-Nieland thanks to our Minister of Defense whom gave Director-General Colwan's attention to the Democratic Soviet Republic and has assisted Kahanistan in it's desire to gain a technologically superior and stronger military. It will not be before long the Royal Shipyards' designs can be seen in service with the Kahanistan Republic Navy soon enough, and that the Republic Navy will not be viewed as a joke of a military force for long (as a result of Kahanistan's fight with the Imperivm Doomanvm and the Heavily Armed Hippies of MassPwnage during the ViZionarian Civil War) thanks to recent dealings with the UKIN.

However, Kahanistan also wishes to develop relations with more Woodstock Pact nations....hence why I would like to make this proposal: the foundation of an Omzian Military Aerospace Corporation/National Defense Industries factory in the Democratic Soviet Republic....what do you say?

Yours Sincerely,
General Peter Lee
Chief of the Southeast Asian Air Force
United Sovereign Nations of Southeast Asia

[Snip]

We are exultant that the Southeast Asian military has reported such stellar performances of our C-115, and we are thrilled that our product is being put on for consideration by the Southeast Asian government. Regarding the F-120A Darkhawk, both the Omzian government and ONDI happily approves Southeast Asia's request for three (3) Darkhawk fighters, costing $705 million dollars (with maintenance/shipping fees excluded). These three fighters will be constructed with the highest quality, and shipment will occur within two months. In addition, a team of ONDI consultants will also accompany the aircraft to assist the Southeast Asian military in the testing process.

Regarding Southeast Asia's application for the Woodstock Pact, though ONDI itself cannot make any official comments, the Omzian D.R. was not involved in the application. However, regarding your presented proposal of building ONDI plants ion Kahanistan, we are of course willing to put it into serious consideration. Though Kahanistan as of now doesn't have a solid relation with the Omzian D.R., we feel that the current conditions in Kahanistan are still worthy of an investment. On the other hand, ONDI as of now does not have any immediate plans for expansions of its production line. Therefore, if Kahanistan itself feels that the proposal is favourable for them (as we still need an official word from the Kahanistanis themselves), they should talk to us directly for the proposal to get in motion.

We'd like to once again express our sincere thanks to the Southeast Asian military and government for such an interest in ODNI and our products, and we are also thankful for the aforementioned proposal involving Kahanistan.

[OOC: Omz222, do you have any instant-messenging programs that you use?]

[OOC: Omz222, do you have any instant-messenging programs that you use?]
OOC: I have MSN (I will PM you on Draftroom), but I don't have a lot of time to get on it.

(OOC: Omz, I'm in desperate need of modernization of my convetional missile armaments, is there some sort of arrangement we can come to so that Velkyan forces will be consistently supplied with missiles, i.e. production rights?)

OOC: Hey Omz, how much will production rights to the following missiles be then?

MIM-506J Flamedart II Ultra-Long Range SAMS
MIM-506K Firedart II Long-Range SAMS
MIM-506L Foxdart II Medium (Intermediate)-Range SAMS
BGM-503B Arquebus II Long Range Cruise Missile
AGM-518A Triton Long Range Air-Launched Ballistic Missile
RGM-356C Hailstorm-C Ultraheavy Hypersonic Attack Missile
BGM-502 Longaxe Medium Range Cruise Missile
AGM/RGM/UGM-321G Meteor-G Multiplatform Heavy Antiship Missile
RGM-355H Meteor-H Surface-Launched Ultraheavy Antiship Missile
AGM-531C Bumblebee-ER New Long-Range Tactical Air-to-Surface Missile
AGM-531A/B Bumblebee New Tactical Air-to-Surface Missile
BGM-322 Dagger Multiplatform Hypersonic Penetrator Missile Systems Series
BGM-323 Little Dagger
AGM-326B/C Buzzsaw Air-Launched Air Defence Suppression Missile

AGM-519A Needlehole Kinetic Anti-Tank Missile
BLU-201A/B 'Superbomb'
GBU-203A/B Multipurpose Dynamic Heavy Attack Ordnance (MUDHA)

This is going to be expensive but I'm going to need these to be constantly cranked out in a war I'm going to be in very shortly. Just name the price and I'll see how I'll pay for it. :)

OOC Sorru about the horribly late response, the subscription tool never works for me -

Velkya: It depends on what missiles you're thinking about. ONDI is generally very strict with production rights now, with some exceptions, but I will accept very large orders (in the scale of 10,000s) or special arrangements (say, shipping x numbers of missiles per year for x years). Generally, I'm comfortable with lighter and/or older munitions, but for things such as heavy cruise missiles that depends on the model.

SU: Unfortunately I still have to hold off on the Arquebus II and Triton (we're still sensitive about very long-range missiles, esp. ballistic missiles, so sorry), but I'll charge $182 billion for the rest.

Another announcement, one that will be especially important to ONDI customers:

Due to real-life matters (increasing schoolwork, work, pursuit of interests, etc.), to my deepest regret, I will retire from NS designing indefinitely. I've enjoyed my two and a half years of NS designing very much, but unfortunately this episode, like all other things, has to come to an end.

So let me express my deep thanks to those who have taken a sincere interest in my designs and supported my NS designing ambitions - these are the most I can ask for. My thanks to Adejaani for such a rewarding partnership. And with that, my apologies to SS, some of whose design requests I could not complete.

In terms of practical concerns, I will still run the storefront itself. But considering that no new designs will be produced, from this point on I will relax ONDI's export and production license policies as well. Most of my products will be available to anyone who does not have an unfriendly/hostile relation (or prospects of such) with my nation, and production licenses for most munitions (save for very long-range strike munitions and ballistic missiles) and most of the tactical aircraft (some exceptions remain) will be made available for allies.

Its sad to hear that one of the greatest names in aircraft designing is leaving. You'll be missed by the designing community. I hope you do well in school as RL comes first, every time. Good luck and hopefully we'll see some more designs from you once your less busy. :)

As for the order, I'll take it and consider the money wired. :) As for the Arquebus II and Triton, is there any way that I could aquire them? There my favorite weapons (stand-off ranges FTW!). I'll pretty much do anything for them. :)

OOC:

Thank you.

About the two missiles, I can set up a long-term supply contract (i.e. x number of missiles delivered per year over timeframe of x years) if you'd like. The size of the contract will be large, and funds will be paid at intervals concurrent to the missile deliveries. On the other hand, I can offer the DPR for the original Arquebus, which essentially has a different but faster engine and a smaller fuel tank.

Hm.... I guess I can go with the long-term contract for both missiles. How many missile is it possible to build per year of each? Also if its possible I'll buy DPRs for the original Arquebus. What's the price?

OOC: The DPR for that is $20 billion. As for the long-term contract, you can give me the number. My factories are comfortable with several thousands to some tens of thousands, depending on your requirement and the time.

Okay, I'll buy the production rights and as for the number, how about 12,000 per year? That fine?

Also, what will be the status of our bomber tutorial? I know we took a break on it but will you still be able to do editting and revision? Its okay if you can't. :)

OOC: That's good. Assuming you are ordering both 12,000 Arquebus 2's and 12,000 Tritons per year, that'd be $264 billion per year. I can also give you a discount depending on the number of years of the contract, though you can still extend the timeframe later if you want more.

As for the bomber tutorial, I assumed that you had some delays, but I'd be glad to do the editing and revision.

Alright that sounds good.

As for the order, yeah sure 24,000 missiles in total. And I'll go for a long-term contract of 15 years? I'll extend that later, if needed, though, that will give me a huge supply for my air force to use. :)

OOC: Yes. I'll give you a 10% discount, so now the annual payment is $237.6 billion.

OOC: Yes. I'll give you a 10% discount, so now the annual payment is $237.6 billion.

Great. :)

OOC: Space's order sounds like the sort of thing I need, considering I manufacture my air-to-air munitions myself. Would limited production rights (i.e. capped production of said missiles supervised by OMASC personnel) be able to be alloted to Velkyan defense contractors?

OOC: Limited production licenses will apply to most missiles except the Arquebus II, Triton, and any (other) ballistic missiles. Tell me what and how many you'd like and I'll get it going.

The Armed Republic of The Silver Sky is looking to purchase more ground attack munitions to fill the mostly empty role of air launched long ranged missiles and hypersonic weapons,

We would like to purchase Limited Production Rights (LPR) to the following excellent missile systems:

AGM-518A Triton LRALBM: 20,000 Units Over Four Years
BGM-503B Arquebus II LRCM: 20,000 Units Over Four Years
BGM-323 Dagger: 40,000 Units over Four Years
BGM-322 Dagger: 40,000 Units over Four Years

Please name your price.

Please name your price.

OOC: Just a note - the limited production licenses and the type of deal I've hammered out with SU are actually two separate types, so you don't need to specify the year. I'll just multiply the # of missiles per year by the year for the final numbers.
Also, as I've said, unfortunately the Triton and the Arquebus II are not available in a DPR or an LPR deal, as with all other ballistic missiles. /OOC

ONDI is exultant that The Silver Sky has once again turned to us for their defence requirements. As such, we happliy approve the request by The Silver Sky to procure Limited Production Licenses for 160,000 units of the BGM-322AE Export Variant Dagger and 160,000 units of the BGM-322AE Export Variant Dagger. Unfortunately, on the other hand due to export restrictions on licenses for sensitive systems, including long range missiles such as the Arquebus II and ballistic missiles such as the Triton, we must apologize and suggest that The Silver Sky consider a purchase of manufactured units instead.

Nevertheless, we calculate the cost for both licenses to be $35.28 billion dollars in total. The necessary technical documentations and an ONDI Technical Advisory Staff will be sent three weeks after the reception of the funds. Let us express our thanks to our friends of The Silver Sky, and we hope that further business can be conducted in the future.

Military Equipment Expo
A showcase for all your items, great and small

There is a new show coming, designed specifically to showcase your military items, and see whose is best out of all the storefronts. We offer you an opportunity to enter the show, and win accolades for your storefront. As a bonus, your storefront will also be getting publicity, and allow you to gather a greater customer base. This is not a show where your stuff is being put on sale necessarily – if nations come up to you afterwards to buy stuff then that’s up to you how you deal with it. We ask that you only send in 10 unique designs, that you have the monopoly to – no RL items here please, just original ideas. The categories that you can offer your items to be voted in are listed below – please send the complete design by TG to each nation looking after each section:

1. Equipment – Phoenixius (http://www.nationstates.net/27474/page=display_nation/nation=phoenixius)
a. Weapons
b. Armour
c. Other

Army – Saint Fedski (http://www.nationstates.net/27474/page=display_nation/nation=saint_fedski)
a. Battle Vehicles
b. Long Range
c. Support

Naval – Hurtful Thoughts (http://www.nationstates.net/27474/page=display_nation/nation=hurtful_thoughts)
a. Main Ships
b. Support
c. Submarines

Airforce – Illior (http://www.nationstates.net/27474/page=display_nation/nation=illior)
a. Fighters
b. Bombers
c. Support

Technology – Space Union (http://www.nationstates.net/27474/page=display_nation/nation=space_union)


We hope you attend this show, and find it to your satisfaction. In terms of voting, each nation will be able to vote for one item from each category, and for the best and worst of the show. This means that there will be a total of 15 awards up for grabs, so make sure your entries are the best you have.

OOC: I think you might want to carefully review the munitions to see which truly fits your needs best, especially when you're asking for both older munitions and their multiple successors, some links each links to multiple subtypes of munitions, and some are not available in DPR/LPR form, so you won't confuse yourself over which to choose when you want to use them... Some you probably don't need as much, and some you will probably do. For AAMs you probably only want the "Star-" series, as it succeeds all my older AAM models. Same with SAMs (try the "-arrow" and -"dart" series), cruise missiles (the Tigersword is the newest subsonic one, and others such as the SGAM and Longaxe are supersonic ones, but for different purposes), anti-ship missiles, and other munitions.

In most cases, for each group of links of munitions of a similar type (they may not necessarily have their own section in the catalogue), the munitions at the top are the newest, and vice versa.

For the Triton, Meteor-H, and Arquebus I/II, yes, they're available as manufactured units. The long-range ballistic missiles, the MIM-329, and any anti-satellite weapons are probably the most sensitive, and as such its availability as manufactured units depend on how many you require and for what purpose.

(OOC: Me thinks I should honestly do my information before I shop. :D To make this as simple as possible, just consider the latest weapon systems the one's I'm requesting LPRs to. I'll take a look at the statistics at some other point when I've got some more spare time on my hands.)
OOC: Well, I still need the exact models you desire, both for records and so that you have a chance to review the choices before you buy them:p

We are thankful for the attention and interest received from Izistan. After some deliberations, the order of the following -

DPR for Flamearrow - $40 billion
DPR for Meteor-H - $40 billion
DPR for Meteor-G - $20 billion
DPR for Starfall - $20 billion
DPR for Basilisk - $15 billion
DPR for Spear - $15 billion

- is approved at a cost of $150 billion dollars. Both the technical documents for the aforementioned systems and a ONDI technical support staff will be transferred to Izistan after the reception of funds.

[i]Paypal, Goverment style.

In a shadowy office somewhere in the Government Sector, a few key strokes on a keyboard transmitted the grand total of 150 billion USD in electronic currency through a secure (the computer security team had taken great pains to make sure) SSL tunnel to a server in Omz222. The computers operator still found it amazing what technology could do these days.

UPDATE

Just in time for ONDI's official 3rd Year Opening Anniversary (this thread was created during a sunny morning on August 20, 2003 originally as ESA RL Aircraft Division), ONDI's front page now has a new look. I've completely revamped the format of the catalogue, and added new export policies. Now customers can determine, for example, whether they are eligible for the DPR of a given product, by looking at the product's rating. I also did substantial editing in the catalogue, to make it more presentable and understandable for new customers. Enjoy!

To: OMASC/NDI Board
From: Office of the Secretary to the Headof the Ministry of Finance, USAN
Subject: ONDI Southeast Asia proposal

Dear Sirs and Madams,

It is a great honor and a priviledge to be in communication with the glorious Omzian Military Aerospace Corporation/National Defense Industries. Unfortunately for His Excellency, the Minister of Finance of the Union of Southeast Asian Nations, is in absentia as a result of other matters in his home-state and has a multitude of conferences on finance to attend to, and has left me to the task of communicating with you instead. He apologizes dearly for the displeasure of not being in touch with you thanks to other matters elsewhere. But what he has proposed is this - an ONDI Southeast Asia concept. As the name implies of this title of this letter, the Southeast Asian Federal-Parliamentarian Government is offering the Omzian Military Aerospace Corporation/National Defense Industries the most gracious and delightful oppurtunity to start a factory within the Union of Southeast Asian Nations, a location has yet to be decided whereso specifically in Southeast Asia however.

As you should know, the Neo Administration has been considering of expanding relations with the Omzian Democratic Republic for a very long time, and have only done so in the true official sense most recently thanks to dealings with the OMASC/NDI Group in the past, I believe that it was my country's Head of the Air Force that informed you of this, was it not? But regardless whether or not I correctly named the individual that informed you that the Union desired relations with the Omzian Democratic Republic in a communique, that doesn't matter, as we are scheming on making it closer.

Does the Board of ONDI agree to such a concept? And perhaps dealing with native aviation corporations (you may wish to note that most of these are private firms, I hope that this does not discourage the ONDI Group as if I recall correctly, your corporation is state-owned and controlled, is it not?) based within the Union of Southeast Asian Nations?

For we hope that these interactions with the Omzian Democratic Republic can result in the culmination of the banner of the Omzian Democratic Republic flying in our diplomatic quarters of our capital, Singapore. And then start formally signing trade agreements, and finally, become true allies. Because we are only allies in name only due to our membership with the Council of Air Powers, and had little contact preceding this, and we wish to rectify this.

On the behalf of the Southeast Asian Federal-Parliamentarian Government, I'd like to say that I eagerly await your response.

Yours Sincerely,
Office of the Secretary to His Excellency,
Minister of Finance
Union of Southeast Asian Nations

The ONDI Management is heartwarmed by this gesture, and indeed, we have been already considering an expansion into Southeast Asia. Now that Southeast Asia has forwarded their own proposals, we would have no qualms with setting up one or even two large-scale aircraft production facilities in Southeast Asia. Along with this, we are also enthusiastic about potential partnerships with Southeast Asian aerospace technology firms, considering the improvements in trade ties plus both nations' economies this would bring.

We are also confident that this gesture would further accelerate both nations' efforts to establish formal diplomatic relations and friendship, and we will inform the Foreign Ministry of this gesture. let us express both our gratitude to the Southeast Asian government for their deep interest in ONDI, and our eagerness to expand into Southeast Asia for the benefit of both nations.

[OOC: Omz222, would it be possible to procure some of those neat tank shells of yours?]

OOC: Yes

[OOC: Omz222, can we use fluid time for the factory given this recent turn of events in my nation?]

The Peoples Freedom is very interested in the AHD-1B Commanchero, and wonders if production rights are open.

*bump!*

Quite a few months have passed - another bump to prevent this thread from sinking into the quagmires of antiquity...

The Republic of Adejaani no longer maintains an active MT force due to retconning and rewriting of our histories. However, we are still able to provide technical advice on MT products, even if they are no longer produced.

AAI to sell off helicopter division
Jasmine O'Claire, Adejaani News Network

In a move which stunned economists and Defence experts across the nation, Adejaani Aerospace Inc (AAI) announced today the sell off of its helicopter division to McLeod Aerospace Inc. AAI, the nation's largest Defence contractor has been providing military aircraft since the nation was founded.

In a recent interview with a government official who has declined to be named, has stated that the helicopter division was impractical; and produced designs that while superb, were too complex and maintenance intensive. The official further stated that the recent competition to design a "light" utility helicopter resulted in a design which was too heavy and underpowered, costing several billions for a failed design.

The sale of the helicopter division follows on the heels of negotiations with McLeod for the UAV division, an underperforming division which is more successful, but has been operating at a loss for the past three years. The sum total amount that McLeod is offering has not been disclosed. But given the significant portion of AAI being sold off, is expected to be tremendous.

When asked what effect all of this would have, the Minister of the Industries proclaimed the revenue from the sale of the helicopter and UAV divisions will be further invested in the fighter, attack and cargo aircraft divisions of AAI, which have been performing above expectations and is continuing to grow.

The Minister has also noted that while the resources, equipment and "corporate knowledge" of the helicopter and UAV divisions of AAI will be sold off, a small capability is being retained for maintenance and also domestic upgrade and modernisation programs.

Lost Hills Department of Defense
Office of Procurement

After returning from cold storage, it appears that our munitions stores have been pilfered! We are looking to purchase the following:

1,000,000 AIM-508B Starshield II New Short Range Air-to-Air Missile
800,000 AGM/AIM-509B Starfall II New Intermediate Range Dual Function Missile
800,000 AIM-510B Starshell II New Long Range Air-to-Air Missile
800,000 AIM-511B Starburst II New Extremely Long Range Air-to-Air Missile
1,500,000 AGM/RGM/UGM-324E Tigersword-E Multiplatform Multifunction Cruise Missile
500,000 AGM/RGM/UGM-324G Tigersword-G Multifunction Heavy Payload Cruise Missile

1,500,000 AGM-531C Bumblebee-ER New Long-Range Tactical Air-to-Surface Missile
50,000 Type 328 Sky Needle Launch Pods

To be quite honest, Lost Hills would much prefer to manufacture these on our own, and will offer $15 trillion over the next 5 years for the rights to domestically produce these munitions. If not, then Lost Hills will offer a flat rate of $7.5 trillion dollars for the above weapons.

After preliminary deliberations, ONDI accepts the proposal for the munitions' domestic production in Lost Hills facilities, and arrangements are underway for the delivery of technical documentation, as well as advisers and sample parts for the missile systems. ONDI also thanks the Lost Hills government for their continued attention and preference for ONDI products.

Dear Mr. Inkans,

The Hotdian armed forces are highly impressed with the range and expertise of weaponry sold by your company. I am Colonel P. Meyers, manager of the Hotdian Military procurement Department and therefore, on behalf of the Armed forces, I would like to request the following Domestic Production Rights if available (noting extensive links with Haven nations). DPR Prices are proposals I but am happy to discuss these further if needed:

Primarily Surface Launched:
"F-Dart II" Family of Air Defence Missiles - $45Billion USD
MIM-329B High Arrow - $20Billion USD
MIM-316B Slingshot II - $5Billion USD

Primarily Air Launched:
Nova and Nebula ABM/ASAT missiles - $30Billion USD
AIM-511B Starburst II, AGM/AIM-509B Starfall II and AIM-315E AAMs - $40Billion USD
AGM-326 "Buzz-" AGMs - $20Billion USD
AGM-329B AGM - $5Billion USD

Provisional Total: $165 Billion USD

I would also be interested in hearing if it might be possible to seek your assistance with any key technical issues we may face or modifications we may need to make to our aircraft or the missiles themselves to suit our needs (such as ground launched versions of ASAT/ABM missiles).

Yours Sincerly,

To: Dormoe J. Inkans
From: Hotdogs2 Navy
Subject: LDPR for aircraft

The Hotdian Navy has found itself in need of a new STOVL aircraft to replace our ageing F35s in service, but currently is not sure of exact procurement numbers. As such we would like to inquire into limited domestic production rights of the F-109E Skyfury STOVL Strike Fighter, as the navy is always expanding exact numbers are not always available for how many will be needed. However as we wish the sales to be limited we would be happy to pay per aircraft rather than in an all out go without properly looking into the exact numbers required in future, which of course are quite likely to change.

Should there be any issues with the proposal then we would be happy to discuss this further, and also any restrictions you may feel are necessary to prevent any security issues during production. As such full security and safety precautions will of course be taken to your highest standards should you accept this offer.

Regards, Captain Friesch

OOC: Hotdogs - the missile deals are good (aka confirmed). As TSS mentioned, the F-Darts are not designed for naval ops - their size (reason for the increased range) makes them incompatible with standard VLS tubes. The Foxarrow and Firearrow should fit into a standard, tactical weapons-sized VLS tube, while the Flamearrows require specialized tubes, probably with a size in the range of that of the Shipwreck/Granit's launcher. Feel free to make modifications, but any mods to "navalize" the F-Darts will probably entail size reductions, which evidently lead to range reductions.

For the LDPR of the F-109E, I can indeed offer a quota-based production license (for example, I can offer you a 5000- aircraft license; you can produce 3000 for now and you can use the rest for replacing losses, etc. etc.). How about $40 billion for the base price, plus $25 million for each aircraft produced?

TSS - Confirmed; to make things simple, I can also offer unlimited DPRs for each missile at $40 bil apiece.

OOC: ok then, money wired. >.>

AAI announces Project Bunny Hop
Jasmine O'Claire, Adejaani News Network

Following in the wake of Adejaani Aerospace Incorporated's helicopter division, many analysts had wondered if the rest of AAI's assets would be sold off too. However, just this morning, the R&D labs reopened its doors with the announcement of Project Bunny Hop.

Details are minimal at this time, but it's believed, based on the name, to be a Vertical Takeoff aircraft designed for the role of Close Air Support. The project had been a brainchild of Doctor Marianne Brooks, chairman of AAI and also the Minister of Industry, for several years.

Furthermore, most of the engineers and technicians which had been given pensions following AAI's drawdown in the previous months are now being recalled, with new staff positions opening.

In response to all this, AAI's public share price jumped up three percent in the last twenty four hours, with unconfirmed rumours that a brand new, next generation fighter will be unveiled amidst a low key, long term development.

But no matter what happens, AAI is back with a vengeance, so keep an eye out for new products!

This is Jasmine O'Claire, Adejaani News Network.

OOC: Glad to see you back in the aerospace field!

OOC: Omz... I've been kicking a thought around and wanting to pick your brain.

I want some form of... The best I can explain it as, is like those multiple unguided rockets that you see all the time in Vietnam news footage. I'm wondering if there's any way we can somehow redo that, but as maybe guided, or like... Larger. Sort of like little 250lb free falls.

I envision this sort of massive, little pingers to saturate an area, rather than one big monolith thingy... Doobah. I need sleep.

AFD-26 Skystriker, medium fighter/bomber

The launch of the new AFD-26 Skystriker marks the end of a long development process that has finally resulted in an aircraft which is designed to take over the bulk of fighter and attack/bomber roles in the Military of Adejaani.

The origins of the aircraft lie with Doctor Marianne Brooks, head of Adejaani Aerospace Inc (AAI). Long a fan of the cartoon G.I. Joe :A Real American Hero, Doctor Brooks had been attempting to decide how to recreate the Skystriker aircraft from the show, itself a variant of the famous F-14 Tomcat.

Never content to simply rehash yet another Tomcat variant amongst the dozens already in existence (including at least two from AAI itself!), Doctor Brooks decided on something quite unique: A distant cousin.

Although the design itself was outdated, the principles and concepts in the Tomcat were not. Thus, it was decided that the new aircraft should in principle superficially resemble the famous aircraft, but would generally have the role of the F/A-18 Hornet and he technologies developed for the F-22 Raptor.

The most significant design feature of the Skystriker is the single seat cockpit. This was made possible due to the advances from the F-22, such as the vastly more powerful, multimission radar. Although some veteran Tomcat pilots have grumbled at the omission of the backseat, the fact that Skystriker no longer fulfills the long range interceptor function is notable.

Other items of note are that it has the general capabilities of the F/A-18, although with the same general flying characteristics of the F-14.

General Specifications:
Name: AFD-26 Skystriker
Roles: Multi-mission, medium fighter/attack
Length: 16m
Wingspan: 16m (extended); 10m (swept)
Engines: Two AED-26 turbofans with approx 40,000lbs thrust
Crew: One
Payload: Variable

Cost: Currently not available for export.

[TPMI/EC Dispatch]

Dear Sir(s):

On the advice of previous customers of ONDI, the Tyrandis Federal Naval Service is highly interested with the acquisition of F-109D Seafuries for use in its air arm. Attempts at adapting domestic designs in the naval interceptor role have been bitter failures - as such, the TFNS has empowered Tyrandis Precision Machine Import/Export Corporation to procure sixteen (16) examples of the F-109D for testing and evaluation. Should the design suit the TFNS's requirements, which we expect given the reputation of excellence in ONDI products, TPMI/EC will seek a non-commercial license for domestic production if available. We request, however, that the fighters be stripped of avionics prior to purchase as we wish to fit domestic equipment to the airframes in order to simplify integration with overall TFNS assets.

OOC:

To Adejaani
I like the idea. I think 250lbs may be too heavy, but 50-80lbs should be okay, with around 3-6 rounds on each rack launcher. The warhead configuration should be modular, and a simple IR seeker ought to be enough.
---------------

To Tyrandis
Apologies for the late reply... Since they're test versions and don't have avionics, the 16 will go for $1.28 billion. Thanks for business!

[Omz, could you list Adejaani's helos under a separate McLeod Aerospace listing, since it now owns the old AAI helo division?]

[Omz, could you list Adejaani's helos under a separate McLeod Aerospace listing, since it now owns the old AAI helo division?]

OOC: Whoosh. This is actually a legal wrangle. I noted that the sale was...

(...) the resources, equipment and "corporate knowledge" of the helicopter and UAV divisions of AAI(...)

... Which doesn't make mention of designs. Corporate knowledge is the information required to produce a product and the technical information, but not the right to use it. You'd have the corporate knowledge of the designs: the fabrication moulds and the machinery; and quite possibly some of the engineers if you were successful in recruiting them.

So you would have all the knowledge needed to reproduce them... But not the rights to sell the products as they are, because those are still mine. Of course, if you made your own version with your own engines, hardware, avionics etc, you're more than welcome to produce and sell those.

[OOC: Urgh, lazy. Do I meet the category for production rights for F-120A and the cargo aircraft? If so, can you confirm it please. Can't write a detailed post right now...]

Official Communication form the Armed Republic of the Three Isles of Skibereen

The Republic doing a massive military restructure seeks to contract OMASC to supply a currently unspecified number and type of munitions to the Skibereenian military.

These arms will be used to equip Skibereenian military units.

As well the arms purchased maybe adapted to meet Skibereenian military doctrine.

This request is made after a long term evaluation of potential solutions to the current technology gap suffered in large scale combat munitions in Skibereen.

The quality of the .... weapons systems has been deemed most suitable for the long term needs of the Skibereenian military.

While the nation of Omz222 is decidedly disconnected enough from the Republic that we are not concerned with conflict of interest.

Systems current being sought for immediate deployment;
The entire Tigersword missile family.
Various Airlaunched cruise missiles.

A potential contract for bomber aircraft or bomber escort aircraft.

We hope that OMASC finds the Skibereenian Republican Military to be a wanted patron.

AAI begins new project, "Bill Baker"
Jasmine O'Claire, Adejaani News Network

After months of wrangling amongst AAI personnel, Military officers and government Defence experts, the Adejaani government has begun work on a brand new project. Already, public funding for the new project has already surpassed the three trillion Freylagil mark, making this, at least the publicly acnowledged amount, the second largest Military project, right after Omaha.

Sources within AAI have been tight lipped, with one senior AAI designer merely noting that, with a smile, (it's a) big, big project. Far more ambitious than anything AAI has started before... And we go for ambitious projects!, then grinning and asking that he or she not be named.

The Ministry of the Military declined to comment at all, though a recently declassified Ministry memo dating back several years puts the genesis of the Project Bill Baker project as having been a theoretical research project on its feasability.

The pundits and Military analysts alike are somewhat baffled as to what Project Bill Baker could be. But most agree on one thing: retired Senator Baker was one of the architects of the fledging Adejaani's defence policies. There has not been one single military project that he has not partaken in; and certainly not one has gone through without his blessing.

Retired Senator Baker's greatest achievements have been the aforementioned Project Omaha; plus the co-author of the document titled Fortress Adejaani, the instruction manual on the defence of the nation.

With this in mind, Project Bill Baker, when and if it ever comes to light, will no doubt be a highly ambitious project that will no doubt significantly add to Adejaani's military and defence assets.

OOC: Omz, are you still alive? If so, do you mind if I TG you? I really need to pick your brain.

I have the single most genius idea. It's one of my ideas; and you know how interesting those are most of the time.

To whom it may concern;

The Centralized Mountain States of Snefaldia has recently begun to shift the defense paradigm of the nation toward modern aerospace defense. The Tuhran Bel has allocated resources toward updating and expanding our existing airforce, and accordingly we are seeking military suppliers to assist in this endeavor.

What we seek are recommendations for updating out nation's airforce. The Air Force is the largest and most integral military branch of Snefaldia, and it is essential to our nation's defense that we have updated mechanics.

If it is possible, we would like to contract with OMASC to take part in a five-year plan to update and expand out aerospace military capabilities. The details of such a contract would of course be worked out later, but we are interested to gauge support.

We await your honorable response.

OOC: Basically, what I'm looking for is a package deal to flesh out my airforce, since it's the most important part of our military... in case you didn't catch that already. Any details we can work out over TG.

OOC: Gravedig of all gravedigs, but Omz's stuff has unfairly fallen by the wayside. Most of the new designs are, IMO, not any better than anything Omz ever designed and in a lot of ways simply inferior (ask Aralonia about his experience simming other NS aircraft against the F-107.)

On that note, I'll be confirming all orders from now on.

OOC: Thanks for continuing to operate the storefront, Scandavian States, it's a fantastic store. I was wondering though, will the old export restrictions with the four categories (Level XX, Level X, Level J, Level I, Level II, and Level III) remain in place, or will a new system be implemented?

[Actually, the system has already been implemented, it's merely a reduction in restrictions by about one level. You will see very few things that are limited to close allies.]
