Why? And you likely couldn't affort the cost even if it was a good reason. We do sell these little export ships, but they are not even close to well armed.

Piledriver class planetbusters
50,000,000,000,000 per ship
http://www.tadesigners.com/~savant/piledriver.jpg
Designed as flying weapons platforms, Piledrivers are not fast, but they are lethal, the four main guns can, on full power, crack a planets crust, hence its classification. The six top/bottomside guns are for long/mid range capital ship combat. The many small bateries (a battery is five guns) are for short range capital combat as well as short/mid range fighter defence, although it is advised that you bring support ships instead of relying on one ship to defend against many small fast targets.
STATS:
Length: 25 miles
Width: 3 miles
Height: 1 mile
Crew: 25,000,000 (not included)
Armament:
4 ultra-heavy cannons (forward mounted)
6 L/M Heavy laser cannons
5000 light laser batteries
1000 ion cannons
3500 AMM batteries
26 Large missile launchers

Defence:
Event Horizon armour
50 GC5000 Ray/Particle shield generators
25 backup generators
8 Shadow sensor jammers

Fighters: 1,000,000 (not included)
Marines: 750,000 (not included)


Millinium Class Battleships
http://www.tadesigners.com/~savant/corftl.jpg
4,000,000,000
Specificaly designed as anti-capital ship weapons, though not as powerful as Piledrivers, they are still formidable, capable of taking and dealing great punishment. It is MUCH faster than a piledriver, thanks to four extra engines, it has near the speed and manuerverability of a fighter. Three long range energy cannons are build to deal with big ships. The main weapon is its 5000 electric cable harpoons, these are fired at extremly close range to an enemy ship, then a currenty is run through them, this fries the crew as well as most of a ships electronics, but leaves the actualy hull mostly intact.
STATS:
Length: 3 miles
Width: .5 miles
Height: .1 miles
Crew: 10,000,000
Armament:
3 L/M energy cannons
1000 Heavy laser batteries
500 AMM batteries
250 ion cannons
1500 light laser batteries
5000 Electric harpoons

Defences:
Event Horizon armour
5 GC8000 shield generators
4 backup generators

Fighters: 500 (NI)
Marines: 100,000 (NI)

Justice class destroyers
http://www.tadesigners.com/~savant/stormbringer.jpg
950,000,000
The Justice class is not specialized, but designed for many eventualities, its not especialy fast or armoured, but it is capable of unassisted atmospheric flight with no modifications. Two L/R lasers as well as a S/M laser for fighters topside, with two more S/M lasers bottom, a fighter bay runs the length of the ship, and the two front 'prongs' are solid Quadtanium, designed for ramming.
STATS:
Length: 1 mile
width: .3 mile
height: .1 mile
Crew: 2,000,000 (NI)

Armament:
3 L/R cannons
3 S/M cannons
50 AMM batteries
eight missile tubes

Defence:
Event Horizon armour
2 GC2000 shield generators
1 backup generator

Fighters: 500
Marines: 50,000

Spotter class Command/Sensor ships
http://www.planetannihilation.com/gallery/thumbs/illusion.jpg
3,000,000,000
Lots of communications and sensors, not many weapons, but can hold its own against one or two ships for a while. The detailed sensors can count the number of personel/droids/other on a ship (provided the ship is not using some sort of jamming) within an area roughly the size of the Sol system. It can 'see' a ship within an area about the size of the Milky Way galaxy (Some nebulia and other galactic phenomena may limit/distort sensor readings). Capable of atmoshperic travel, even submersion, this ship is very versatile. The pic is of it begining to submerge
(OOC: Actualy, I couldnt find a good pic, so sue me)
STATS:
Lenth: 4 miles
Width: .7 miles
Height: 1 mile
Crew: 65,000,000

100 AMM batteries

4 backup generators

Fighters: None (small bays for personal craft)
Marines: 250,000

Hive class carriers
http://www.tadesigners.com/~savant/armmslcrusT.jpg
2,500,000,000
Fighter carrier, the craft are launched from the tubes on the fore of the ship via magnetic accelerator (if your fighters are made of plastic we will provide trained chimps to haul large rubber bands back to launch your fighters), reducing fuel consumption and takeoff time, the ports are closed between launches to reduce the risk of internal explosions (This 'aint no Death Star). Lightly armed, so make sure to protect it.

Stats:

Nice, but sorry, this is old, Piledrivers cost 50 trillion. Sorry :oops:, but I accept payment in chunks, I would advise, say, 5-10 tril per year, or take out a loan, or you could pay us in merhcandise.
The Millienium class have been shipped though.

Just a little note here:

Abismu Gross Domestic Product
Population: 7,000,000
Civil Rights: Average
Economy: Fair
GDP per Capita: $5,000
GDP: $35,000,000,000
National Budget: $5,537,280,000

I would note that if these prices on ships are correct (IE the hive for 2.5B) I will purchase every single one you have. Then I will scrap them and sell them for the metals alone and make back my money x10. Perhaps you need to add ,000 to all the prices.

They have good ships... no big ones you could possiibly afford on your low budget, but you could probably rent-to-own ;)

Just another quick note:
Prices are in GLACREDS, 2GLACREDS::1USD
I have a whole lot of ships, its the combined efforts of an empire of something like six billion people.
Metal is cheap, to me. I can work on an atomic scale, adding or removing protons from atoms. It is possible to turn lead into gold. Or, more practicaly, Titanium-steel, I prefer Quintainium though.
