Ice smirked at RC. "You see those Firewalker and Mirage suits? Those things may only look like exotic looking medium armor. But they can hold up to energy weapons like blasters, particle beams, plasma grenades, lightsabers, and anything else of the like as well as almost the best powered armor suits....or just as well as the tin can suits you're mentioning. Yet still maintain, high flexibility and light weight. Against slugthrowers, it is still rated as medium armor. But then, we won't be facing to many slugthrowers. So it's not much bother. As for big karking guns. All the weapons I'll be providing are particle beam weapons. In addition to the normal damage, they inflict secondary low yield explosive damage against the target. m It's practically like firing little mini grenades every time you pull the trigger."
"Granted, in the long run, we will need something bigger. I do have a design for a small, mobile, yet lethal short range artillary piece. I think you will be most pleased with it. But until then, this is what we got. We'll have to go get a contract with some outside companies for heavier items for the time being. As for payment, pay me what you can. We'll call the equipment an advancement. We can also take part of the cost off the top of what our troops are getting paid. If they want top of line gear upfront without having to shell out anything, they can afford to pay their fair share. Once our resources and income is more stabilized, then we can shift to a cash for equipment policy. When we do, I'll give the Valhalla Federation a 15% discount on all future items."
He took another sip as he waited to see if these terms are acceptable. Fortunately, he was still government funded from Shadow Empire. So he had a little wiggle room to do this sort of thing.
