After seeing how Starwind had gotten lucky buying from Benny you decided to take the strange entity up on their offer. You really didn’t understand what they meant when they were selling the meaning of “Life the Universe and Everything” but surely it must be valuable.
>Lost 5Mil Scrip

“42? <span class="mu-i">That’s</span> the meaning of Life, the Universe and Everything!? I don’t get it.”
After you paid them, Benny had transmitted an absolutely massive mathematical equation to your R&D department; a kilometres long string of numbers and symbols which made your head spin. And right at the end of it all was an equals sign followed by the number forty-two. Both you and Persica stared at it with a feeling of disappointment.
“I don’t get it either, but maybe if we studied the equation we could get better context.”
“The equation makes even less sense to me than its answer.”
“Well it’s way too complex to understand just by reading it, but there are some analytical techniques I can apply…”
>Advanced Electronics Tech researched.
>All passive and active research has been suspended while your R&D team ponders the meaning of LtUaE.
>Roll me 1d10.

Another day, another round of clients. Now that you had two capital drydocks you could snag even more jobs… ah fuck the market had dried up while you weren’t looking.
The Imperial Raihan Navy wants to commission the design of yet another ship. This time a carrier, but not the carrack. They wanted something new designed from the ground up… that pretty much the same thing. Oh and another subjugator too. Why was it that no matter how much they paid you, you couldn’t help but feel insulted by these guys?
And Margathon still needs more ships, they’re getting desperate too, willing to pay you more for both drydocks.
Marketing tells you there’s a strong demand for civilian cargo and industrial ships, but you <span class="mu-s">don’t have any in your catalogue</span>.
That was it for capital ships. Galatan Starwind was back but this time he was looking for a bespoke strikecraft for one of his ace pilots. Since you had just started to sell strikecraft you weren’t sure you could deliver, but maybe it could be an opportunity to stretch your design team.
Choose a project for your capital drydocks.
>Fill the Raihan Navy’s orders. (Get paid in materials with 140% mark up.)
>Fill Margathon’s Orders (15Mil Margathon Scrip)
>Use one dock to prototype a civilian design while holding out for a walk-in customer.
Choose a project for the factory.
>Attempt to design a new strikecraft for Starwind.
>Keep the factory ready to fill walk-in orders.
((Okay, maybe not such a big update this time but there's a few things coming... maybe))
