Astex wishes to purchase at these prices:
5 bulk frieghters- 1,000,000 credits
1 Frigate, 2 patrol ships- 1,500,000 credits
Is this acceptable?
Remember this: Astex is the main pipeline through which you recieve metal to build your ships, stations, and factories.

The light freighter being upgraded at Liberty Starport is completed. I now have...
(trumpet fanfare) A mobile mining platform!
I can harvest 200 tons of metal per post. It has abot 1.5 x the shielding of a light frieghter, 4 laser turrets, and a flat top for ship docking.
I'm deploying it to the Asteroid belt to the galactic west, where it hould harvest about 250,000 credits worth of metal per post.
The USS Farragut has captured a Pirate Argosy, which is being scrapped at Liberty Starport.
I probably won't be posting for a few days, (not that it matters.)
