[OOC: Friendly criticism - as for ground operations I wouldn't suggest LIDAR, it's just an unnecessary expense. Most likely for targetting when using LIDAR the laser ray is going to hit a rock or an obstacle in its path and its going to return with that reading misguiding your targetting.]

OOC: That's why I have LADAR too. XD Thanks Macabees.

Beautifully crafted, and excellent worksmanship. Once you have an export version available for purchase, can you widen the inside of the missile launchers, as we like to instead incorporate our own missiles, no offense. So please tell us when your launcher is available on the foreign market.

[OOC: Expensive, but damn fine. If I could afford it, I'd buy a thousand or so.

Alas, I cannot.]

Once the export version is available, we will provide Janrak with the materials needed to widen the missile modules. Thank you for your compliments. -- Representative Of Ruger Industries

OOC: XD Thanks.
