Chapter 5619 Need More Hulls

"I really hope those dwarven Novices are competent enough." Ves said. "I can\'t guarantee any results. I can only try and do my best obtain additional first-class ships from other parties. We can\'t rely on the Vulcanites alone to fulfill our first-class ship needs. They to give us another ship after they have given up a strategic fleet carrier."

The value of first-class starships was too great. Everyone needed more of them. The more first-class hulls under their control, the s weather the ongoing storm!

Gavin had his own ideas on how to address this issue. "Our position has improved by a lot compared to before. The success of the Ft relationship with the Destroyer of Worlds and our newly obtained stake in Isthmus Manufacturing has elevated our reputation and ] level. It should be possible for us to approach major parties and trade their shipbuilding services for other major favors."

He was right. Ever since Ves got promoted to a tier 3 galactic citizen, he already had the option to cooperate with other groups on th However, his background and backing were still too thin for him to establish a stronger bargaining position. He would have to make order to obtain even a single first-class hull.

This time was different. The deal he had made with the Vulcanites might be affected by other factors, but the fact that he was able t teaching obligation for outright ownership of a first-class fleet carrier was a definite sign that people really started to take him serii Ves felt much more confident in his ability to negotiate much more lucrative deals with major players.

"I have been thinking about forming new deals with the Terrans and the Rubarthans respectively." Ves spoke. "I don\'t entirely trust but it is undeniable that he carries a certain amount of weight in the Rubarthan Pact. He can definitely arrange a shipyard to build a carrier or fleet carrier for us. The only concern is what we need to pay in exchange for this expensive deal."

Gavin grimaced when he thought about the prices of those vessels.

"The price of a proper first-class warship fluctuates widely depending on the volume, the chosen materials and the chosen modules you are fine with buying a first-class combat carrier on the cheap, you are still looking at a hull that costs at least a billion MTA crei beginning to end."

A first-class combat carrier was so much more expensive than a second-class equivalent that it wasn\'t even funny!

A billion MTA credits!

That was an unimaginable sum to Ves in the past!

It was surprising how quickly his horizons had widened. It might not be possible for the LMC to earn a billion MTA credits in profit of the Fey Fianna and Supremo Projects, but it was only a matter of time before his partnership with Isthmus Manufacturing gave V This was because Isthmus Manufacturing earned revenue from selling other mech lines, including first-class ones!

The profits of selling first-class mechs was always high, particularly if they were mainstream models that were always in demand.

This was one of the real benefits of gaining a whopping 20 percent stake in the Rubarthan mech company.

The Larkinson Clan could effectively earn a hefty share of profits from business activities that were not related to any of its living m Of course, the Rubathans weren\'t stupid. They made sure to demand that Ves continued to supply Isthmus with commercial mech d in order to retain the right to own all of those shares.

The entire deal was structured in a way that effectively turned Ves into a retainer of the Rubarthans and more specifically the Impre Ves provides his services by designing living mechs. He received a huge amount of payment and possibly other benefits for his effor Right now, Ves wondered whether he should leverage this new relationship to ask for a first-class starship.

"First-class starships should be in short supply in the Rubarthan Pact as well, right?"

"That goes without saying. It should theoretically be possible for you to order a starship from them, but the rules of supply and den replied.

"Hmmm."

"I have a suggestion."

"Please tell me your thoughts."

"Ordering the construction of a new first-class starship is a massive undertaking. The Rubarthans will be highly reluctant to spend starship production capacity to fulfill our demands. Instead of going for a new starship, we can ask them to upgrade one of our exist happen to have a very suitable hull that has recently been refurbished for this precise eventuality."

"The Spirit of Bentheim!" Ves gasped.

"Yes!" Gavin grinned. "The mechers have already reinvented it as a quasi-first-class starship. I am not an expert on all of the techn what I have heard, it only takes a relatively short time in a shipyard in order to upgrade our factory ship into a true first-class vesse The most difficult and time-consuming changes had already been made. The entire hull and internal structure had been upgraded t only reluctantly.

Completing the first-class upgrade process was as simple as replacing the remaining second-class systems with first-class equivale Bentheim was highly modular, the replacement process should not pose too many hindrances.

The biggest concern was whether the Spirit of Bentheim remained safe and reliable after acquiring a lot of really powerful modules 1 performance difference was so high that a lot of new problems were bound to emerge!

Even so, it was still worth it for the Larkinson Clan to upgrade its factory ship!

"There is no need to hurry." Ves quickly said as a few other thoughts crossed his mind. "The rise of hyper technology is revolutions industry as well. It is best to wait a few years for the rapid pace of innovation to slow. By then, the shipbuilding sector should be abl powerful upgrade solutions than before."

"The more elaborate the upgrades, the longer it takes to complete all of the upgrades." Gavin frowned. "If you have a need of the Sp best to start its refit process sooner rather than later."

His personal assistant made a good point. Ves had great plans for the next decade.

Once the greater beyonder gate opened up, the era of warlords would begin in truth!

That was the time where many different human powers would compete against each other for supremacy!

It would be a lot more convenient if the Spirit of Bentheim became available for the riskiest and most lucrative missions.

"I\'ll think about it." Ves eventually said. "It may be possible for us to apply certain upgrades ourselves. The Diligent Ovenbird grant shipbuilding capabilities. As long as we implement all of the simpler upgrades ourselves, it will take a lot less time and effort for a n to implement the remaining upgrades."

He even thought about applying this approach to other Larkinson ships, but he quickly dismissed this option.

Ships such as the Vivacious Wai and the Dragon\'s Den were second-class starships from top to bottom. Upgrading them to first-clai require a complete rebuild.

A shipyard might as well construct a brand-new first-class capital ship if that was the case!

Ves and Gavin talked about other possible opportunities to acquire additional first-class starships.

"Don\'t forget about the Terrans." Gavin reminded Ves. "Now that we have formed strong relationships with the Rubarthans, the Te anxious about deepening their own relationship with you. You should take advantage of their desperation and see if you can add a fi two in your negotiations with them. The Devos Ancient Clan is currently in a tight spot, but there are several larger Terran clans the to build a starship for our clan."

That was certainly a viable option, but it was questionable whether the Larkinsons could gain more than one or two first-class hulk "This is too slow." Ves voiced his dissatisfaction. "What about second-hand starships? It should be much easier and faster for us to previously owned hulls."

"Don\'t get your hopes up, Ves. We are far from the only ones who have this idea. The best starships tend to be traded directly betwe organizations. The remaining second-hand starships in good condition are actually being put on auction as of late. The seller wants amount of profit possible, and auctions are always effective at driving up the price."

Ves immediately lost his mood when he heard that. The Larkinson Clan should be able meet the requirements to attend these exclus whether it could win a bid was another matter!

"I see. Please pay attention to these auctions and tell me if one is starting in the near future. I might want to take a look and see hox willing to pay for a used first-class starship. I take it that lots of other goods get sold during these auctions as well."

"I presume that is the case. Alexa Streon can probably tell you more about them. I don\'t advise you to participate in an auction too s to build a warchest first. If you attend one too soon, you might get distracted and depressed by how much money you need to earn i anything good."

Ves did not quite agree with this argument. He felt it was better to gather intelligence in advance so that he knew what to expect wh earnest next time.

He suddenly came up with another idea. "If these high-level auctions center around putting rare and highly desirable goods up for 1 be able to earn at least a part of the necessary funds!"

Of course, this was easier said than done. Ves was sure that he could earn a lot of MTA credits from selling the opportunity to obtair but the Red Association restricted him from handing out this reward to outsiders.

Without this obvious solution, it would take a lot more effort for Ves to come up with goods that could sell for hundreds of millions Gavin was clearly skeptical about this idea. "It will take more than a masterwork mech or art piece to raise the necessary funds. The in these auctions are not stupid. They are not willing to squander exorbitant amounts of money on second-class luxury products. W so the most desired goods are those that can directly increase people\'s chances of surviving the Red War."
