IV. [CoI] Supply Upgrades

Day 1,717, 15:09 • Published in USA Serbia • by Dereck Ryan


Good day Captains and potential Captains!

As some of you already know, Captains of Industry now has the ability to produce a limited number of Q7 weapons. We took advantage of the recent sale to upgrade 1 of our weapons companies to Q7 and will start adding them to the supply package very soon. You may be wondering why we only upgraded 1 company, and that's a legitimate question. My answer is this: not only do they require a considerable amount of gold to upgrade - 252 on sale! - but they also require 40k WRM to produce 200 weapons. As of right now, that is a cost of $8,800.

For us to fully convert to Q7s would require spending about $27,000 per day on WRM. That's a crazy high number, especially when you consider that our only source of income - the subsidy provided by the government of eCanada - is $7,800 per day. We have built a reputation as the most fiscally stable military unit in the country, able to turn our funding into an excellent source of supplies for our members. To quote Max Maher from our most recent congressional audit:

"In fact, although the govt funded each soldier for about 105 CAD per day last month, CoI was able, with their slave pit system to supply each member daily with a supply worth about 600 CAD. So when the gov't invest CAD in CoI, the MU increased the funding by 6 and gives it to their soldiers."

Nonetheless, we understand the desire for the high-powered Q7s and so we will be supplying them in the following way:

For those members who are employed in a Captains of Industry slave pit, you will be supplied 5 Q7s and 5 Q6s on Monday and Thursday. This will allow you to use them the following day in the Fight Night competitions.

For everyone else in the MU, a number of Q7s will be awarded randomly as a part of your DO Reward. That number will be determined in the coming weeks as we tweak our production capabilities, and the financial commitments they require.

As for what the future holds for Captains of Industry, stay tuned! A full conversion to Q7s isn't entirely out of the question, particularly if the price of WRM continues to drop. In any event we will continue to do our best to provide you with high quality supplies, while remaining fiscally responsible.

See you on the battlefield!
