H 746 Share Posted July 29, 2015 [!] An advertisement is found placed in most major cities, in coastal settlements, and in the Cloud Temple. Sailing is one of the most rewarding experiences a person can have. It allows one freedom of movement, creates lasting bonds among crew, and allows one to face - or escape from - any obstacle or challenge in their way. At Eastin Dia, we strive to make loads of cash better society by making these experiences available to as many people as possible. Together, we as a society can sail into the future. That's why we're proud to announce our new subsidiary company, Eastin Dia Seafaring Solutions. Headed by Shipwrights Alugor and Beltran, and supported by our R&D and Applied Sciences divisions, we'll work tirelessly to ensure that each new vessel is the speediest, roomiest, or most dangerous in its class. Eastin Dia's Seafaring Solutions has decided to make our vessels available to the general public. Our first set of offerings includes ships new and old; both tried and tested models, and advanced ones fresh from prototyping. -= The Predator Line =- Eastin Dia is proud to unveil the Predator class interceptor vessels. Attractive, sleek, and with two available ballista hardpoints, this mid-range model sits high in the water to minimize resistance, and is well suited to closing the distance fast. Basic models start at two thousand, two hundred fifty mina.As with all mid-range models, additional ballista, luxury furniture, and an onboard jukebox are available as add-ons. Due to the nature of this craft, lighter weapons platforms such as harpoon launchers or mounted crossbows are available, suitable for coastal anti-infantry strafing runs or hunting fast sea and air beasts. Oh, and it looks like a shark. -= The Frigate Class =- One of our most competitively priced seafaring solutions, Eastin Dia Trading Co. is now offering our frigate class ships, outfitted with a staggering eight ballista hardpoints and standing room for a group of soldiers. Small, resource-efficient, and built for combat, these vessels are an excellent choice for one looking to spare their wallet - but not their enemies.Frigates start at one thousand, five hundred minas each.Add-ons besides weapons systems are unavailable for this model. -= The Clipper Class =- The Clipper Class, first of the Eastin Dia vessels, is now available to the public. This high-end model serves a variety of roles with four ballista hardpoints, a medical bay, crew quarters, mess hall, and cargo bay with onboard crane, making it well suited for both speed and long voyages. A spacious officer's quarters makes captaining one of these vessels a dream, and the option of a detainment center on the lowest deck allows easy management of stowaways or troublesome passengers. In a pinch, it can serve as a mobile headquarters for a small group. Base model starts at six thousand, five hundred mina. Add-ons are available with interior furnishing, captain's quarters furnishing, ballista or other siege weapons, a jukebox, and even a piano. Due to the size and versatility of the craft, options are also available to mount prototype weapons platforms aboard this class of ship, including thanium or quicklime depth charge launchers, oil slick dispensers, or mounted light crossbows. -= The Freighter =- Eastin Dia's new Freighter class is the ideal solution for merchants looking to transport goods /fast/. This ship features just one hardpoint, but a sizeable cargo hold. With a highly streamlined hull and all additional weight shaved off, this vessel will leave business competitors and pirates alike in the dust. Basic model starts at two thousand, five hundred mina. Add-ons are available for merchants to travel in the comfort they are accustomed to. A ballista, fine upholstery, a stylized hull or prow, and a jukebox are available as add-ons. -= The Stallion Line =- At Eastin Dia, we realize that not every consumer will have the available mina or resources to commission a high end ship. However, making sure that the average customer will still have a safe and reliable vessel is our top priority. That's why we at Eastin Dia are proud to present the Stallion line, developed directly in response to the poorly-constructed and potentially customer-endangering "O.V. Economy Class Ship". Affordable, sea-worthy and outfitted with three ballista hardpoints, this low-range model is the perfect vessel to test your sailing abilities without testing your bank account. With deck space unparalleled for its size, it easily serves as a trading ship. Basic models start at 700 mina. Add-ons are available for merchants to travel in the comfort they are accustomed to. Fine upholstery, a stylized hull or prow, and a jukebox are available as add-ons. -=~=- For those who truly want to invest in the best possible sailing experience, in addition to these competitively priced offerings, Eastin Dia's highly skilled shipwrights are willing to take on truly custom requests. Prices will vary depending on the resources required, size of the ship, and time spent designing and prototyping. Each Eastin Dia ship is tailored to the needs of its future owner - as such, each individual ship is built from scratch upon reception of the contract. Construction may take up to an elven week or more. Need a ship repaired or refitted? With a set of blueprints, we can restore your ship to its former glory. We'll have your burned out husk or pirate-damaged vessel up and running in no time. Our premium offering, available for a limited time, allows discounts of up to 50% if a client supplies necessary materials for a vessel. Seize control of your future today.
