| With profits readily available, I would like to see Blackfire sell off their pair of CR90 corvettes in favor of a pair of Marauder-class corvettes, complete with one squadron each of Ikiyen-class fighters and a total of four Lambda-class shuttles.

| So, this is, you're aware, a serious trade-up in firepower. If it was a straight ship-to-ship swap I'd APPROVE of trading the 2 CR90's for 1 Marauder-class corvette. That we're also including heavily-armed fighters in this swap is almost a dealbreaker. The Lambda-class shuttles certainly are, for me. I don't think I can approve of Lambda-class shuttles for anything other than government use. So while I vote to DENY those, I think I can bring myself to APPROVE of 12 Ixiyen-class fast attack craft (not actually "fighters").

| I am aware that it is a trade-up in firepower, but granted, it seems pointless to swap a pair of corvettes for one corvette, guns not withstanding. Overall, it keeps them with three capitol ships total, while allowing to be able to take on a bit heavier targets. It's hard to expand when the heaviest you have to threaten anyone with is a CR90, honestly. The Lambda-class shuttles I can do away with in exchange for an equal number of Flarestar-class shuttles, decidedly less governmental.
The one squadron of fast-attack craft by themselves is honestly rather pointless.

| 1 Marauder-class corvette
2 Barloz-class freighters (Lady Sunfire configuration)
2 KR-TB Doomtreader transports
6 SS-54 Assault ship
12 Ixiyen-class fast attack craft
12 MorningStar-B starfighters
12 MorningStar-A starfighters
4 Flarestar-class shuttles
A squadron of Ixiyen-class fast attack craft in this context is not at all pointless in my view. It represents the addition of 24 laser cannons and 60 concussion missiles to an already sizable fleet. As for the Marauder, it has the firepower of 2 CR90s so it doesn't seem unreasonable to me that the "trade" should be 2 CR90s for 1 Marauder.

| Fair enough. I'll go with that. As long as you're open in the future to some expansion. I'm trying to grow Blackfire after all and they aren't doing too badly on income.
