Shipbuilding program for IDF (contracts available for bid)

In order to greatly expand the starfleet of IDF, we are to immediately begin a massive shipbuilding program. Our domestic yards aren't advanced enough to fully meet our needs, we will need foreign yards to build some of our new ships.

Domestic yards are to begin the building of 5 more Miranda class destroyers. We also will build our first 6 Constitution (refit) class cruisers.

We will have contracts available for the construction of 6 more Constitution class cruisers, 10 Oberth class scouts/science vessels, and an Excelsior class cruiser.

We are willing to shell out a large sum of money for the contracts, especially the Excelsior class vessel. We would like to have these ships completed as soon as possible.

We also would like a foreign nation to take a contract to build a Terok Nor type space station in the Bajor system.

The Workers State would be glad to handle the needs of the IDF Starfleet. We have space at Vo Nugyen Giap Military Reservation and Gamal Abdel Nasser Shipyard to build your Terok Nor-type station (we have had experience building space stations before, so fear not) and the Excelsior cruiser you seek. Name your price, and we will slash it in half.


OOC: Good to be dealing with you again, IDF. I bought a buncha stuff from you as Upper Xen back in the day...

OOC: Yeah I remember you. I see you also decided that FT had more potential for RPs.

IC: We will galdly award you the contract for our new ships. We will gladly pay what you believe is reasonable for the work you perform. We also hope to have dealings with you in the future beyond ordering ships.

OOC: Well, MT is cool (after all, otaku terrorists were and still are a zany concept), but sometimes, you gotta just stretch your arms into the stars....plus, there's a little more freedom involved in FT, not so much stat-crunching.

IC:

Very well then. We will ask for only USD$80,000,000,000 for the Terok Nor station, and USD$20,000,000,000 for the Excelsior Cruiser. Expect them to be delivered in about about a few months, as we have shipyards and Military Reservations running on full blast due to extenuating circumstances.

EDIT: And as for that last bit, perhaps we could have an embassy exchange?

slight, respectful bump about this last bit.

We'd love to accept these contracts, but our nation doesn't possess FTL drives. However our ships can approach relativistic speeds using a technology called the Minovsky Drive; we have yet to see the need to expand beyond the Earth Sphere (and thus no need for FTL engines). Any smaller STL ships you have up for bidding?

IC: We will send the money as soon as we have the ships and station delivered to us.

We also would like to exchange embassies to further the connection of our people.

We will need smaller craft to shuttle between Primus and Primus station. We also will need some to go from Bajor to our new Terok Nor station, which will be named DS9.

Not a problem. (OOC: By tomorrow, they should be there...owing to the fact I use 1 day=1 NS Year).

Very well, we will send an ambassador, to facilitate the embassy exchange.

Ok, Super-power accepts the contract for these ships. We will begin construction once we have received a down payment, if it does not trouble IDF.

Although Snake Eaters no longer uses the Constitution-class in active service, we are still capable of producing them. We are willing to produce the six additional ships you require, and deliver them to you fully fitted.

Given that the Navy is not currently undergoing expansion, we are capable of delivering three ships per year, in line with refits to older vessels in our navy. Thus, to deliver all six ships will take two years.

For each vessel, we request a minimum of $15,000,000,000 per vessel.

We have several ships which you would be interested (if you want only ST style, if not, I've got SW style as well).

The Angle Class Cruiser, and the Andromeda Class Cruiser Refit. We have another one in the production lines, but that'll have to wait.

OOC:
Statistics provided in the starship production thread in my sig.

EDIT:

You can also purchase the ships you wanted in the first place (Constitution, Miranda, Oberth) at the Star Forge Naval Store Front version 3.0

We will be able to give you a down payment.
