Coming soon
Various Other Missiles
More Radar Systems

Added Converted Supertanker, Iowa-class Battledship, Harpoon and Sparrow Missiles.

Added Radars, Standard missile.

A standard SAM launcher for 230,000? Holy crap, that's a steal. Perhaps you should consider jacking up your prices a little.

Lower your Iowa price, powerfularmies sells a fully functionial one at a lower price.

It's two missiles and the launcher, the rest of the price is in the radar and reloads. Most launchers come with a radar and reloads plus crew etc but that is provided by the buyer. Really the launcher is a rotory chuck of metal and only two missiles, but I am thinking about increasing prices if others think that that is too low.

OOC: Most of the cost of military equipment is R&D costs. If someone mass-produced it they would all be much cheaper.

CK-ROC systems is interested in procuring forty-five Ticonderoga-class hulls, with modifications below:

*The addition of two side hulls to create a Trimaran hull.
*The removal of the bridge structure.

We are happy to make these modifications, with modifications total is...
$1,400,000,000

We hope you like your hulls, and all ships sold are ready for weapons system installment.

Neccesary costs have been wired.

Neccesary costs have been wired.

Lower Battleship price, bump.

Obscure Nation would officially like to purchase:

1 Converted Super Tanker @ 10 Billion= $10,000,000,000
-Tri-Hull the ship, with armor if possible
-Could you add another powerplant to raise the speed a bit?
-Weaponry:
125 Vertical Launch Systems @ 2 Million= $250,000,000

Total:
$10,250,000,000

*Money Wired*

To make additional upgrades to ship it will cost an extra $50,000,000, however we can't make it a tri-hull due to the fact that the Supertanker is basicly an armored version of the civilian model.

Subtotal: $10,250,000,000
Add +4.5 knots to speed
Total: $10,300,000,000

*Money recieved*
