He really needs more income sources, pronto.
And there are still quite a few Hegemony companies they have to buy up, get moved or get licences from.
They need tugs, Dieron Shipyard holds that licence and it's SDS sub-variant.
This because of their shipyard and they might be able to sell them as well, to other yards and Davion forces.
Medical & Terraforming, easy to get.
Bugeye spygear, this so their units have better observation gear, including their stations, thus greater change on locating problems in the places they are located.
Then licences needed for their current gear, licence needed for upgrading their current & new gear (like recoring those Leviathans, straight from the start).
Then bonus & transport companies.
NETC went back to it's roots as a trading company, which means, a transport company.
So semi-important.
Of the wishlist, I would go Dieron, Earth, everything else, in terms of getting it out.
The producer of the Bastion & Princess, on New Earth, after this, then everything else.
Lady General Comstar just gave us a potential warning, that anything Earth, has to happen fast and Dieron is already so, because of the DC, everything else is thus less urgent.
With the focus on licences, fabrication data/blueprints & personal, any fabrication gear that can be gotten out, is bonus, there.
They have a tool fabricator, so fabricating new tooling, should be possible.
Any remaining SDS related fabrication gear, is how-ever, not to be left behind, if at all possible.
Might just contain the needed clues to reinvent that technology.
And those stealth mech lines, I would concentrate on the stealth gear related machinery first.
Then on the Royal related machinery, before taking everything else.
Jammers are great on all units, enough uses for holo-projectors and stealth amor plating would be just perfect for say, plating a shipyard enclosed yardslip with, can always attach a few transponders, so it can't be seen on sensors, normally.
Who needs Stealth Mechs, when you can use that tech, better in other locations?
They would need a Vincent licence for their Leviathan, if they want to remove it's flaws.
Lola II licence, if they want no questions on having Lola II related fabrication machinery for spareparts.
Makes their M5 upkeep a bit easier.
They could do a Vietnam Helicopter serial number game, in terms of spareparts, to let one dropship generate dozens of other dropships (only 300 helicopters made for the army, but they flew 1200 of them).
But getting the licences for them, would make things easier.
Main problem is still upkeep & viability.
They need to be able to replace their loses and they ,ost likely, will lose ships in the future.
Best if they can get replacement options, in the work.
Meaning, they need Tracker & Merchant licences as well, unless they can make their own variant.
Can they send settling invitations, to all those Hegemony Companies?
See who bites?
Might mean they can then use that money, for other companies.
And they really should try and contact all the universities theg can, especially the Hegemony ones.
See which ones are willing to get them a copy of their libraries and how much this would then cost.
I have an idea about that.
According to sarna about the sails of jumpships:
"a Jump Sail is coated in an extremely efficient photochemical that absorbs visible light, infrared, ultraviolet, and microwave radiation. ... One byproduct of the photochemical's efficiency is that jump sails are invisible to most deep space radar systems."
Thats the solution. Cover the entire station in such sails (like a wallpaper covering the walls of a room - but only on the outside and voila, nobody can see you. Of course you should choose a location where nobody will ever want to go to, otherwise you have a crash and that will hurt.
That's a idea, but I think that's more to do with how flimsy & thin, those sails, actually are.
Still, can't hurt and gives a good source of basic constant power as well.
Meaning, always a minimum of power for life support, always a plus, that one.
But the more they can grap up, the better their future options, are.
Heck, can they offer too companies, a information black site storage option?
Make it so they, as payment, can use a licence or two, either full & less or for important spareparts and thus more licences.
Spareparts like say the engines of the Fortress.
Just add in a small line, for if said company goes defunct, that they are then allowed to use everything.
Hell, maybe add in a extra option for storing manufactoring gear as well.
It certainly is something for themselves, to consider.
They have Site 222, so it's a possibility.
