You didnt read that right. If we devlop a blaster cannon then outsource production then we risk our methods leaking.
Not to mention that the "standard" market designs are said to be both better and cheaper than our own early systems, since they benefit from more years of design/refinement and mass production to bring the costs down.
It shouldn't matter if we personally buy in bulk or not from the market, as mass production to bring down costs is already happening on the supply side. A significant portion of the cost to produce new systems is going to be setting up the production lines, buying machinery and tooling. If we buy stock mass produced for other small shipyards or aftermarket additions, it should not matter whether we buy 5 or 50 systems, since the cost to support that is going to be spread among the 500,000 or so systems produced.
We may not need shields, but that doesn't mean we can dismiss them out of hand. They are a viable alternative to the special armor, that also may reduce long term costs and make our ship more attractive to buyers.
Drop the cargo bay for a 5 sc sheild Gen and take advantage of the cheap cost and roomy hull to pack in the guns.
What year is it again? We can slap that out fast after naboo.
We are so under budget I bet we could keep the combat model price under 40.

So I found a pair of pics for our ship
First one would we would have to say its the military version
This one is a bit more star wars in look and I can see easy ways to convert it into a gunboat/heavy torpedo bomber.

Sounds like a cool idea to set up a astromech/droid R&D group. The big Competition is the R series
No bonus for the rolls, but for the narrative.
You could go around and ask for that via a Production Department action. Simply add a Write-In next turn.
A good chance, but not with the first blaster. That one is shit, if it is leaked it will be more embarrassing than anything. Your blaster and shield at the moment are very basic.
In-house has the problem that you would need to built a production line. Stock might cost for example 5 as would in-house BUT you need to establish before a production line - which will cost Budget. The same goes for an outsourcing partner. Frankly, your blaster in development won't be good enough at the moment to justify the effort.
Next turn Episode 1 begins.
I like that design, the others look good too. I actually was looking trough the Hardspace: Shipbreaker wiki for some inspiration.Edit: here is another look

I love player contribution. Go for it!
The one you quoted is becoming my favorite because the desgin makes it feel like it's fast and maneuverable.
The part itself would cost around the same amount in a design. But you will need to set up everything from the ground. That will take a number of turns, just to add a part that isn't performing in the same category then what the market offers. At the moment the market is the better option. In the future that might change, it's just a question if you wish to build everything yourself and set up the needed industries behind it. As you're fairly small on the grand scale of thinks it is a high risk.
