Yes please, if you are able. Hotaru's Zesuaium production facilities took a devastating blow in the Battle of Jiyuu, and we are unable to produce the material any longer. I know it is unlikely, but I would like components for the Zesuaium production section of an Iori.
(OOC: Please check with Andrew on this first. If he plans to stick with the plans to not use Zesuaium, then feel free to ICly deny this.)
Another note of interest...I have heard of a Plumeria-class Light Gunship built that was partially based on the SIP's research on the Sakura. I am interested in integrating these into my fleet if at all possible, or at least having the schematics so as to upgrade our existing Sakura.
I also put in a formal request to update the 3rd XF's technology to a more combat-ready level--their fleet manifest looks straight out of YE 25. I have sent some of our older ships over already as a stop-gap measure, and will likely send out some more modern vessels once I engage in deeper communications with the 3rd. I do not think they even have a single Nozomi or Sakura at this time.
It is my opinion that if they are expected to fight, their fleet configuration will have to undergo radical changes, which I feel Valaad was a demonstration of. I am doing my best to ensure this occurs, should Command be unable to do so at this time due to stretched resources.
I understand that other fleets should technically not be my concern, but we've already lost too many fleets in this war...and we risk losing the 3rd XF if no intervention is made.
