Chrsit! That's exactly the smae to that boat in James Bond: Tommorow Never Dies! Fiction becomes fact...

20 please

That's exactly the smae to that boat in James Bond: Tommorow Never Dies! Fiction becomes fact...
Actually, it's the Sea Shadow, a stealth ship which was recently unveiled by the USA and has no weapon mounts. Or maybe it just looks like it...

Anyways, depending on price, I'll take 3.

Chrsit! That's exactly the smae to that boat in James Bond: Tommorow Never Dies! Fiction becomes fact...

That isnt.....

This is:

It actually is the James Bond boat, where they launch the giant screw-thingy...

No, its sea shadow.

The James Bond boat, if you observe, has 2 things sticking out the front, a lot of humps and bumps on the top and sides, and is bigger.

We would be interested in purchasing 10 of these craft. We do wonder if it is possible to set up the SMLS with Surface to Air missiles (was not listed, so we felt we needed to inquire), with the VLS set up for Harpoon or Exocet missiles. We would also like to inquire about obtaining the production plans to this craft. We will wire the required $4,000,000,000 USD to you once we have confirmation of our order.

OOC: Since this is a RL craft, if I can't purchase the plans, I will end up reverse engineering them (in secret IC), and make modifications as I warrant them.

(OOC: The picture is the Sea Shadow.)

Thanks for your interest. Due to our own needs and commitments to other allies, we may not be able to fill large orders out of inventory and will need to lay new keels for some orders. Here are my proposals to each of you:

Freedom Country: We can send 5 ships now; 5 within 9 months and the last 10 in 12 to 18 months. To compensate for the inconvenience, we will lower the total price from $8 billion to $7 billion.

Adejaani: Similar deal – we can send 5 now, 5 in 9 months and the last 14 in 12 to 18 months. We also reduce your total price from $9.6 billion to $8.4 billion.

The Johnston Arms Corp.: We can fill your order know for $1.2 billion.

The Gun Brothers: We can send 5 now and 5 in 9 months for $3.75 billion. We can configure the as you requested. (The failure to mention Surface to Air missiles originally was our mistake.) As for the plans, we are not interested at this time in selling them, but our shipbuilding companies are willing to enter into joint production agreements with your companies. This would allow your companies to construct elements of the hull and components under license while importing certain proprietary components from the Holy Empire.

Let me know if you find these arrangements acceptable.
Regards, Excalbian Imperial Navy

I would like to buy two stealth boats
Cost: 800 million dollars.
This is worth the money!

Adejaani: Similar deal – we can send 5 now, 5 in 9 months and the last 14 in 12 to 18 months. We also reduce your total price from $9.6 billion to $8.4 billion.

$8.4 bil wired. We shall expect the ships whenever......

Adejaani, thanks. Your ships will arrive as scheduled.

Lynxy_turd, wire the money and the ships will be underway within 2 months.

Alright, I'm wiring the money. I will wait anxiously.

We would like 30 of these cutting edge ships. Of course, we expect there will be some sort of discount seeing as we're lodging a bulk order?

ill take 20


thank you

Looks at military budget. Damn, broke again.

:?

We are wiring the money for the ships now. As we have a rather large shipyards, we estimate that with the production plans, we could produce about 8 ships per year, without interfereing with our other projects. My proposal is this: Give us the plans, and for the next 10 NS years, we will give to you 25% of our total production of these ships (a total of 2 ships per NS year). We will also sign a non-competition agreement, that shall last for 20 NS years (we won't sell these ships at a lower price than you during this time). After these time limits have expired, we would be able to continue production unabated. If this sounds agreeable to you, please feel free to fax over any legal documents to the legal department at Tsunami Boat Works.

*wires $3,750,000,000 USD to Excalbia for 10 stealth ships*

I will buy 16 for alot of money big cash advise prices

Since you are having trouble keeping up with demand - Wolfish would propose that you sell us the plans so we can produce for our own us, and we will pay you 100,000,000 per ship that we build.

Please advise.

Bump for acceptance/denial of production offer.

The Batavian Soviet Socialist Republics wishes to purchase 30 of your Wraith class Ships. The money is being sent by Western Union :)

i'll pay 10 billion for production rights

ill take 2 for the price of 800 billion

money wired

:twisted: i would like 10 of these noble craft *money wired on comfirmation* :twisted:

Ill take 4 stealth boats if you please.I would be willing to trade some of my new advanced,and highly efficient Strike craft. They come with a particuly interesting missle system that is too secret and morraly disturbing to talk about here.

By the way I have also some,Mig-29 Fulcrums and some brand new Tornado fighters. Weapon systems already installed and the Fulcrums are of the latest design.

(ooc: sorry, real life intruded)

The Gun Brothers, Wolfish and Sarapin: The Wraith contains considerable proprietary technology – foam alloy construction, the modular integrated electric drive and our computer systems being the three most important. So, we are not prepared to sell production rights or the plans at this time. However, we are willing to enter into co-production. Our proposal is this: our main contractors, Landing Shipyards, Imperial Shipbuilders of New Boston and AzIntel, will enter into a co-production contract with your shipbuilders. The contact will allow the complete transfer of hull construction plans and other non-critical plans to your companies. The foamed alloy hulls will be laid under the supervision of our contractors, using their methods, and the engines and computer systems will be either imported from the Empire or produced at plants in your countries jointly owned by our contractors and your local companies. You will be free to produce as many of the ships as you wish, with half of the sale price going to the Empire (or our contractors) in the form of sub-contracts, licensing fees and commissions. The contract will last 15 NS years, after which you will each have the option to purchase all the technology needed to produce the ship at a price to be negotiated. Let me know.

Largent: The price for two is $800 million. We will send the ships upon payment.

The greater sycoes: The price for ten is $3.75 billion. We will send 5 upon payment and 5 in 9 months.

Matopis: The price for four ships is $1.6 million. We took a look at the size of your country and are wondering if you can afford such ships. If not, we are willing to finance your purchase over 2 years at 12.5 % interest. Two ships can be sent now and two in three months, upon acceptance of terms.

Batavian SSR: The Holy Empire of Excalbia has always been skeptical of communist governments. However, we are prepared to sell you 30 ships for $11.1 billion. We can send 5 ships now, 5 within 9 months, 10 after 12 months and the last 10 in 18 months. If, however, you were willing to take 5 in 12 months, 5 at 18 months and 10 at 24 months, we would drop our price to $10.8 billion. We will ask you to sign a treaty not to use the ship against the Empire or any of our allies.


Feva: The price for 16 ships is $5.92 billion. We took a look at the size of your country and its economy and fear that this comes close to equaling your entire GDP. We are willing to finance your purchase over 4 years at 13.0 % interest. Four ships can be sent now, upon acceptance of terms, four in nine months, four in 12 months and four in 18 months, assuming regular installment payments.

The Pumpkin Delights: The price for twenty ships is $7 billion. We can send 5 ships now, 5 within 9 months and the last 10 in 12 to 18 months. We will ship the first ships upon payment.

Isochronous: We can sell you 30 ships for $11.1 billion. We can send 5 ships now, 5 within 9 months, 10 after 12 months and the last 10 in 18 months. If, however, you were willing to take 5 in 12 months, 5 at 18 months and 10 at 24 months, we would drop our price to $10.8 billion.

Let us know if the terms are acceptable.

We would be willing to take this offer, but we primarily plan to make these for ourselves. Since there will be no sales, we assume the price per vessel that will be paid to the Empire or your subcontractors is $200,000,000 (half the total price).

Blur111 – One ship en route upon payment of $400 million.

Power crazy America, Ali B, Emperor Daz, Friendly toys and Ginebra – We’ve reviewed your nation’s stats and are not certain that your budgets will support your orders. Please reconfirm. If necessary, we will finance your purchases at a 13 % interest rate over 24 months. Ginebra – due to the size of your order, we would have to deliver your ships over a 36-month period. We would finance your purchase, to the tune of $18.25 billion over 60 months. Please advise.

Freedom Country – Your ship is on the way.

Sarapin – Do you agree to our co-production offer?

And how to propose to pay $ 36.5 billion order? We note that you are a new country with a population of only 5 million people. Your entire GDP can't be much more than $100 billion.

great. and add 5 more, please.

with regards to my previous posts, you should not be worried. I was just being a dumb ass when I started.

I intend to use the ship for coastal defence and fisheries protection (some dumbasses from across the ocean are overfishing my our cod stocks). I would not use it to attack other nations unless they attacked me first. Now that ive spilled my guts, could you complete my order for two ships.

great. and add 5 more, please.

We will provide you with 5 additional ships, under the previous terms, with delivery in 9 months.

Regards.
