Title: GCA Build Requests
Post by: Publius on April 27, 2018, 12:51:49 PM
We now have the means to trade, without being permanent members of the same corp  :wow:  
cf. http://forum.astro-galaxy.com/index.php/topic,9969

Who wants what built?  

For this first run, anything up to mk-300.  Per GCA Charter, military mods can't be more than 5% of your current power.
Markup is 15% - 10% to me, 5% to GCA Manager for handling all the fiddly stuff..

(fellow builders - by all means undercut my prices  :)) am trying to "get the ball rolling"..

Let's give it a try!

I'd like to order 96 ACB Mk CC.

Do you accept payment in QPs?

How much will it cost me?

I guess there will be no need for me to join the corp because I will donate them. :)

Sorry, been away a few days..

Adv Cargo Bay    ACB   200   2,200   Cabriite     3,800   Mercury   7,200   Tanenite   = $1,692,400 each (base cost to produce)
96-mods x $1,692,400-each x 1.1-markup x 1.05-GCA_fee = $187,653,312 / 1750-$/m3_diamond = 107,230.464-m3 diamonds
107,230m3-diamonds will be due as 102,124m3-diamonds to me, 5106m3-diamonds to GCA Manager

(ed.) Starting your order now.  Will be 300-hours = 12.5-days.
Depending on a purchaser's rep with SPQNR (my home team - other GCA merchants will have their own standards) I might ask payment in advance for an order that size, but your credit's known good :)
QP are fine.

Perhaps it is something I'm doing wrong, however, I think there may be an issue w/ the GCA corp.

I joined the GCA corp to send some diamonds to Consul Publius so he could optimize the GCA ships for cargo and to give a bunch of ACB's to Cliff to install on the ships.  I then left the GCA corp and re-joined the SOL corp.  I just left SOL and tried to 'rejoin' the GCA corp for another deal.  When I try to rejoin I get the following error message:

 You already have a pending request to join this corp...
 Please wait until it is approved or declined.

Cliff - are you seeing my 'join corp' request?

I would like 10 AES Mk. C.

How much will this cost?

I would like 10 AES Mk. C.

How much will this cost?

Base cost for AES-100 is $3,268,800 and 150-hours (6.25-days)
x10 = $32,688,000
+ 10% markup = $35,956,800
+ Cliff's 5% transfer fee = $37,754,640 (Cliff gets $1,797,840)

Should I start them?


If anyone else wants to build these, please undercut me by as little as a $1m - as soon as we have an active market going, I'll withdraw from the contract building biz..

I have 2 x Laser Cannon (LCN) mark 30 for sale (i.e. LCN-30).  Build cost is 2515 diamonds, I want 2800 diamonds for the pair and I will pay the GCA manager 125 diamond commission from my profits to broker the deal.

How much would it cost to get an Advanced Cargo Bay mark 1000?  I've saved up about $400million now and want to start adding shields to my ships so I can pick up/discard SOS COM missions too.  However to do that I'll need a big cargo space/module for that.  Alternately an ACB 600 would do too, I suppose.

I know it takes over 2 months to build an ACB mark 1000, so I'd much prefer to buy them that are already made.

Odlid – I can spare an ACB-M. I have one at Earth you can have at cost (4836 diamonds).


Title: Re: GCA Build Requests
Post by: Odlid on May 13, 2018, 02:59:01 PM
Sold!  Let's do the transfer through the GCA - I'll put that much diamonds into the GCA today.

Actually, I just looked and there are no wholesale cost diamonds available at the Luna NoBrain station...and I'm going out for mother's day for most of the evening.  Perhaps tomorrow there will be some diamonds there for sale and we can do the transaction then?

Done  

my alt is awaiting admission to GCA with your order.
96-ACB-CC x $1,692,400-each x 1.1-markup = $178,717,440 + Cliff's fee that you're paying separately as QP.  Since you prefer QP(?) 179QP  due - please send to my main account - "Publius"

Thank you :)

Raphael's Donation gives GCA well over 300 Storage mods (and GCA only has 3-ships)   :))

Won't be getting Freighter-X for it yet - let's see if there's any demand..

Looking back through the Forum archives, what we've done with GCA was a hot topic 3-5 years ago.  Appears you have to have people to have demand!  Who knew ?-)

I’ve made an attempt to get friends to join in the past, but I’ve given up. Only a select few have the patience for this game, and even I admit, it is pretty boring since no one declares war anymore...

Sometimes, I’m almost tempted to move for a declaration of war in the PT council just to spice things up a little. :pistols:

Yes, we do seem to be leaking a bit. We were at 693 active captains 16 days ago, but it quickly dropped to the 680s, then the 670s, and it's down to 667 today.
