Final version of the post is up.

[Nirur Torir]

-Ж15,000: Research Cloaking.
-Ж10,000: Improve the mining lasers.

Fire the useless engineers that kept the passenger compartment in the Lamprey, drop the TV, and figure out/fix whatever's wrong with the ship.

Offer a Lamprey or Minnow to Spacewood Movie Studios. Ensure the Lamprey is fixed first. Donate a Salmon as a movie prop, for the PR.

Win that race! Enter Unity employees both a Lamprey and Minnow, if possible. If not, use the Lamprey if it seems fixed, otherwise the Minnow. A winning Unity employee gets to keep 25% of the prize money.
Also sponsor someone for the race, holding a simple Internet application process with a video of themselves being impressive in the most realistic flightsim video game. Give them a Lamprey (or Minnow if the Lamprey isn't fixed), with me getting half their reward money should they win. They keep the ship regardless.

Continue selling Minnows to independents, reduced to Ж4500 each.

-250Ж: Internet ads showing off the new mining lasers and comparing them to the old ones.

With regard to Brood, I changed the names of your ships to the 2A and 1B, like I should have earlier. Also, the price of the old Wraithrider-2 is now Ж7,000- making that the current lowest bid for the Swadian and Promian contracts both. You can also consider yourself the winner of the Hewett contract already- presumably with the older, cheaper ship, since there's no competition.

Also, as our friendly red text has been informing you, we're getting into the backstabby world of Corporate Espionage! In addition to theft and sabotage, guards and counterspies are now available! PM me if you wish to beef up your security, or take advantage of those who don't.

[Brood]

Sweet, thats a profit of 20,000 right off the bat. Let's see how much more I can rack up in one turn.
One thing, the more powerful engine research was for both liquid and Ion.
What happened to the Ion?

[Sensei]

Sorry, that'd normally be two projects. I went for liquid because it was listed first.

[Brood]

Ahh ok.

Desperately rush to fix the ships weapon problems, and then attempt to fulfill the Swadian's contract.

If you're intent on fulfilling the Swadian contract, you have to state a bid price as well. The current low bid is Ж7,000 per ship.

[Brood]

(( Yeah I stand no chance on that contract,  my ship is by far the toughest but it costs more . ))

[scapheap]

Someone charged unauthorized billing to your account! You stop the charges, but not before losing Ж25,000.

Brood, stop it.

Market the Raven-2 to the Swadian Empire for 4,500 per ship

Improve bank account defenses somehow

[Brood]

(( Ain't me, I didn't have enough money to hire anybody at all last turn. I only avoided going bankrupt because a lucky roll got me some public donations. ))

Well you did say yesterday that you would steal my customers.

[Brood]

(( Yea because I can do it by selling a better ship then you, I can't pay for spies, anyway you got hacked, you didn't lose customers. ))

6000 then.
