OOC: San Haven, here's a couple of storefronts you may like that I have bought from...well, I bought from one of them (the air warfare company), but I'm planning on buying from the other, the shipyard company.

Detmerian Aerospace Dynamics, plc (DAS) (Isselmere's air storefront) (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=380088)

Royal Shipyards of Isselmere-Nieland (Isselmere's naval storefront) (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=361894)

Hope you like it....

Given that you can't spend all your budget on procurement - one-third is the typical amount spent - you have about $1.44 billion. To make the most of it, we offer the following:

12 F-35A fighters for $540 million (courtesy of Martin Avionics)
6 F-16E strike planes for $210 million (courtesy of Lockheed Corporation)
1 E-11 Scout AWACS for $410 million (courtesy of Lockheed)
2 AC-130H Spectre CAS aircraft for $94 million (courtesy of Lockheed)
1 HEC-1 Patrol cutter, Heavy version with Exocet missiles for $144.79 million(courtesy of Baltimore Shipyards)
2 PGH-1 Gilgamesh hydrofoil missile boats with Exocet missiles for $21.16 million (courtesy of Baltimore Shipyards)
2 PCG-18 Enkidu missile boats or PG-1 Hampton Roads patrol boats for $20 million (courtesy of Baltimore Shipyards)

Your total is $1.43995 billion US; we will give you an 8% discount for this package, making your final total $1,324,754,000.00 US. The aircraft will arrive fifteen days after you place your order, the patrol boats one month after you place your order, and the cutter four months after you place your order.
