Pentovan Military Supplies Storefront

Pentova
31-10-2004, 18:02
Welcome to the PMSS. This is the place to find whatever type of military items you are looking for. If you have something you want but don’t see here, just telegram me and ask me to make it. I will do my best to put it up. All orders should be in IC format, even if it’s just “my nation would like…” It adds to the feeling.
Please respect my storefront. It took me a long time to find all of this stuff and I don’t want flammers and spammers messing it up.
I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO NOT SELL TO ANYONE. If you are an enemy of Opinno, Niktovo, or me you will not be sold to.
I will give discounts for bulk orders, and for members of the Galactic Republic. I will also give a small discount if you give me some advice or help with this storefront.
I will sell to new nations over their budget if a planned payment schedule is worked out between us via telegram, and will use the Thracetailteann (http://members.fortunecity.com/thracetailteann/html/gnp.html) GNP calculator to determine budgets. Please be reasonable with your military budget part at that web-site, a nation with anything above about 30% military budget would probably collapse under it’s own weight, like the Soviet Union did.
10% discount to Kazaki on all purchases.
I guess, onto the storefront.

CPF (Canteen Purification Filter)

I will also sell any type of small arms to people wanting to buy, the only reason I don't sell them here is because of the inability to fill large orders.

I would reccomend that you sell tanks and fighter planes and cargo planes or some such if you want maximum profit since people can manufacture these products themselves

Thank you for your very generous offer. I would like to take you up on that, especially for tanks and aircraft.
Kazaki
31-10-2004, 20:25
Ok since I used to be big in the tank and bomber business way back when this should be relatively easy for me. I'll send over a few of my brightest army scientists and engineers. As long as they are protected and no harm comes to them they will stay there for aslong as you need them.

OOC: I'll TG you some specs in a lil bit im eatin my lunch right now

OCC: It would be smart to come down on your MRE prices. 10 bucks a MRE is pretty expensive and any military wouldnt pay that much.

In real life I found them for $60.00!!! I guess I will bring it down though to $2.

IC:

Telegram to: Kazaki Parliament
From: John Finalo (Head researcher in Pentovan project)
We are currently designing 4 tanks basically the same as the Kazakian tanks with minor modifications to avoid any copyright infringements or compromising national security.
I have set a new team consisting of 4 military specialists along with 3 engineers who worked on our air fleet.
That is all for now
