OOC: VPs Vehicles storefront can be found HERE (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=489987)

It gives me great pleasure to reopen the great Vast Principles Storefront to allow all nations of any size to purchase their own military and enjoy the world of NS Roleplay.

All equipment designed by VP and/or associates is copyright protected. All rights reserved.

Please do own Maths, any nation that does not do their own maths will have a "tax" put onto the price, this will vary depending upon the level of the maths required.

I reserve the right not sell to any nation if i choose so, for IC Reasons, although if there are OOC reasons also, although i hope to never have to do that.

Military Budgets are based upon www.thirdgeek.com/nseconomy, if for any reason this does not work then i shall judge your budget upon a total 15% of your governments money, based upon http://www.pipian.com/stuffforchat/gdpcalc.php?

Futher Bumpage....

[OOC: hey mate, it's hogsweat here (I think you can remember from the TGs but I was just shooting you a reminder), nice storefront you have, but selling RL stuff kinda went out of fashion not so long ago (unless you want to appeal to 5 mil nations), so its usually better to design your own things. You can pop off to the NS Draftroom (in my link) to get expert advice from a large number of the veteran NS (well, II) players/designers there.

Btw, you still got MSN?

Damn it, those were the days when people actually did MT....so basically im looking at having to do PMT stuff.

I'll TG you my MSN and i'll check out the draftroom although im not a complete novice at designing stuff for NS(just not very good ;))

OOC:
Some of us do use RL tech, hoggy...
If you don't want to join all the "cool" kids doing post-MT, I would like to do some proper MT sometime with some. Who knows, I might be able to pull Frozopia out of PT aswell... Anywho, just wanted to make sure you know that you don't HAVE to be post-MT.
Oh, btw, get some more Soviet/Russian gear and I'll make some orders... I totally need some AK-104s

OOC: Done, added the AK-104 and AK-102 Small assault rifles.

Links also, prices estimates, feel free to inform me about them.

OOC: uhh... sorry 'bout this, but... I messed up with all the new AKs, it's really the AK-103 I wanted... well, they are both 7.63x39mm! *Is currently bright red from being such a fool of a Took*
In advance, however, I'll put in an order. I'm going to make it on an assumption of a $500 rifle, which seems about right (though I honestly have no idea about these things, I'm just guessing).
IC:
The People's Federal Republic of Krendakov wishes to purchase a total of sixty-five million (65,000,000) AK-103 assault rifles for to arm our entire military. We feel the 5.45mm round in the AK-74 is just not powerful enough for our needs, we therefore find that moving to a rifle with a larger calibre would be advantagous. We will deposit the sum of twenty-six billion, three-hundred and twenty-five million United States Dollars (26,325,000,000 USD) into your nations accounts as soon as the order is confirmed.

OOC: ([65,000,000x500]x0.9 -- that is including the first customer discount, if you wish to remove that because I'm making you do alot of work, the sum would amount to $29,250,000,000. I'll modify the values if you decide upon a different value for the rifles)

OOC: Not a problem, AK103 can be just a special for you at this stage ;). I'll have it added soon though. Also i would rather RP MT to be honest with you, some of the designs i see for PMT just don't add up and yet their bought all the time...:(

Subject: Current Order Confirmation

Dear sir/madam, we are happy to be able to confirm your order for 65,000,000 AK-103 Assault riffles. Although not in continuous mass production currently we can easily provide vast manufacturing capabilities for this weapon and these changes are taking place currently. The price with a 10% reduction is acceptable and we are glad to be sending our first order to such an esteemed customer from such a powerful and respected region.

We would be happy to give you further discounts in the future as you are trusted by our government and we would be happy to help set-up a few ammunition factories for you.

Yours sincerly,

Joe Rodriguez, manager Exports dep.

OOC:
Yeah, all the post-MT stuff gets on my nerves too... especially (>.> <.< >.>) super-dreadnoughts (shh.. don't tell hoggy). Hopefully we can get some MT going. BTW, If you want a partner, or just someone to help meeting demand, at your storefront, I can help (I have a huge amount of weapons manufacturing that can be put to good use).

Subject: Ammunition Factories

Dear Mr. Rodriguez,
The People's Federal Republic of Krendakov is has many ammunition factories. These factories are not set up for the seven point six two millimetre (7.62mm)Soviet round. They are set up for the five point four five millimetre (5.45mm) Soviet round which were used in the AK-74s that we have been using. If you can help us modify these facilities in order to suit the new calibre of bullets required we would be very grateful

We would also like to enquire as to the nature of the future discount you have stated we will have, as it may well effect our current military development plans.

Yours sincerely,
Kazimir Gorchakov, Chief Commissar

OOC: Cool, i'd love to get some RP going. Are you part of any alliance? If so i wouldn't mind joining it as currently i've not got anything to play for and get myself into disputes etc. I'd be more than happy to set one up with you if you wanted, me and hoggy had quite a good one going back in my day :D. he put me in charge of a few things which was pretty good fun :D

Subject: Ammunition Factories and Discounts

Dear Mr.K Gorchakov,
We would be delighted to aid you in the modification of your current ammunition factories and we would expect that it would not be long before you were manufacturing large numbers of 7.62mm rounds, capable of supplying all your military and possibly, depending on the number of factories, have enough for export.

We would also be willing to aid with any modernisation of these factories with plans and designs if you would be willing to support us if we have need for extra manufacturing capabilities without a tax being put upon any imports by yourselves. We believe this would be a fair deal and in return we would also put you on our list of allies, therefore giving you a 7% discount on further purchases from All Steel Incorporated.

With this discount in mind, we are currently looking at production of T-9X tanks and other vehicles of this type and would be happy to produce these for you if you are looking to modernise your military further.

Please confirm acceptance if this seems acceptable, if not we are willing to discuss any alternatives that may be available.

Yours Sincerly,
Joe Rodriguez, manager Exports dep.
