(This ship is for future tech nations only)

We are proud to announce the release of a new type of naval vessel. The Maleus Class Sky Cruiser is an alternative for such massive flying ships such as the Terracoste or Grav-Ships. Many nations can't afford to spend over 500 billion on a single vessel, but still need a high speed attack vehicle to ward off large enemy nations. They can be purchased indevidually or in large numbers at a discounted price. This ship can be ordered immediately, but will take several NS years to be completed.

Bump.

Very good. To give your nation a little boost, we wish to purchase eight.

Eight new Maleus Class Sky Curisers will be delivered over the next few years as they are completed (about a week in RL). Because this is the first order, we will offer a discount of US$ 20billion per ship. We await a payment of
US$ 800billion.

The funds have been wired. ( Uh, I'm just sayin it. I didn't send a telegram or anything...

That's OK, we consider a payment in the forums as good as a payment in telegram form.

Bump.

Is there any armament on the underside?

Oh, I forgot to mention that. The side mounted autocannons can fire nearly directly down, and there is another double turret on the underside armed with 155mm railguns, as well as external mounting racks for bombs and rockets. The design specs will be edited.

If any buyers want additional weapons on the underside, just tell us, so we can specially arm your orders. They are built to order, so there is no additional cost besides the cost of the weapons themselves. :D

Bump

Bump! Bump! Bump!

BUMP! Anyone else interested in buying a sky cruiser?

Our nation would like to purchase 20 Sky Cruisers for a total price of
exactly $2, 000, 000, 000, 000 (Two Trillion) In Killer Bong Weeds.
Our Currency Is Very Low, At least $0.50 to Your Dollar, So As You can see we are being Very Generous to you. We would like to contribute to your nation, plus we are just lazy so we'll just give u two trillion as a comprimise, as we are not at war and there is not much use for the money anyway, yours sincerely,


Thank you very much,

General. King. Kevin William Bocking.

We are glad to see a new nation looking to defend itself. We have recieved your shipment of weed, and will ship the Sky Cruisers over the next few (NS) years. If there are any custom changes you would like, just post them.
