OOC: This is my second attempt, which I am sure will be more successful, because I know more this time around. This storefront is for nations that want hard to find, or otherwise unknown aircraft, and want a little variety in their fleets. Constructive criticism is appreciated, it helps me to know what I am doing wrong so I may corrected it. Storefront rules are at the end.

Storefront Rules

1. First, no plagrization of any originals, (I don't have any right now..)
2. DPR's will be given if asked to anyone.
3. We will have discounts for the UFAN, Soviet Commonwealth, GDI and the Confederacy of Nations, which are, UFAN 15%, Soviet Commonwealth 20%, GDI 12%, CN, 17%.
4. I will do the math, or if you want you can do it, your choice, I had much criticism of my last one, so I edited this rule.
5. Have fun, and you can give me advice on the store.

OOC:
Interesting concept ya have here! Maybe you could expand this to naval and/or terrestrial vehicles of Unusual/Unknown status later on.

One thing though- for the discounts (UFAN 15$, Soviet Commonwealth 20$, GDI 12%, CN, 17$.), I hope those dollar signs mean percent signs...Otherwise I might as well go to Wal-Mart if Im only going to get 17$ off of my purchase:D

but anyways, I guess ill be the first to make a purchase:

IC:

Department of Defense

We, The Confederacy of Shesharlie wish to purchase 10 EWR VJ 101 for testing and evaluation purposes.

OoC: Constructive criticisms
1) You should not have the buyer do the math. When the US Military buys their M4's do you think Colt says "add it up your self"? Its unrealistic, as are discounts to specific groups.
2) Why sell domestic production rights to products that are the property of RL nations (and therefore in nationsates effectively are public domain)
3) You should sell your own stuff even if it is a minor variation on a real thing. So instead of selling AK47's you could sell the MyNation AR-1 which is a local copy of a AK47 but in 6.5mm Grendel...

OOC:
1. There is and are storefronts on here that have the buyer do the math, it may be unrealistic, but Elite Arms, even if it is closed until after Christmas is an example.

2. I've seen storefronts on NS that do that, similar to #1, like say the F-4 Phantom is 8 million, the DPR is about 200 times that or 1.6 billion USD, or 2000 times I can't recall.

3. I have the ARDC F-9 that I sell, and the ARDC F-76 which I am going to put on the store, it's basically the early Boeing Advanced Tactical Fighter mockup, but with newer specs. You have a point, but the other storefronts sell RL stuff mixed in with their own creations, which I admit I lack, but I will put more on. Also, these are rarer RL aircraft, which I suppose I could just brand as my own I guess.

OOC: No zeppelins?

OOC: I'll add them sometime this week, I'm just busy with school and other things, anyone have any product suggestions, like what I could offer etc..

The Raiding Dragons of Scandinavian Nations wants to purchase twenty Convair R3Y Tradewind and forty Martin P6M SeaMaster flying boats for our naval raiding parties. Our Sea Warriors will give you $1,860 million in the most authentic international cash they find handy, or in gold if you prefer, as soon as the planes are theirs.

These are ignorable storefronts for exploiting noobs. Why would a storefront owner have any more rights to a RL design than another nation?
