Message | 1. Cancel shelters: they are expensive to build and maintain and do not work anyway! 2. Increase the efficeincy of our defence sales by opening them up to competition and while doing so allow us to by the best weapons availaible anywhere in Terra at the most competitive prices. Give ourt military the best tools for the job! 3. Having made our defence industry competitive in article 2 allow them to make money by exporting their expertise. |
