Re: Colony Ship Request
Hello,
Thank you for contacting Conclave Ship Works, Ms. Sursilvan. It's always a pleasure to work with another Duskerian guild. While it was an unusual request, we have recieved permission from the Duskerian goverment to produce these ships for you. However, we cannot do so for free, I'm afraid. These colony ships, even as simple as they are, each represent a month's worth of work from a shipyard and as this request is urgent, we will need to stop other production.
As I'm told that the contingent of the Mining Guild being sent on this venture will be acting, at least in part, on the Conclave's behalf, we are prepared to offer you a discounted rate for these colony ships, but be aware that this will be a significant investment on your part, as each ship costs 320,000,000 DS to produce normally. I've been authorized to offer up to 20% off for this order, from guild to guild, but that total will still come to 640,000,000 DS, or 160,000,000 KS.
If we start now, we expect to have the order finished at the end of the year, as we must wait for the ships that our shipyards are currently working on to be completed and leave the docks before beginning your order.
Thank you again for contacting us, and we hope to fulfill your needs.
