Why do I have to buy precision bombers on the space station?

Once again, a stupid, arbitrary obstacle I run into in the course of trying to play this game. Why on god's green earth would the process though which I purchase precision bombers be ANY different than that which I purchase all the other weapons through? It even says there's a surplus of these precision bombers, and yet I have to go through the space station. I got an email from the Gamemaster saying "improvements" had been made, which was why I returned. From what I can tell, Simcountry has gotten WAY worse from the last time I played a little over a year ago.

Welcome to my world

Not that it does anything about the utility of the space program...

I have many PBs if you care to msg me for trade.

Hey Crafty I sent you a message. Thanks a bunch for the help.

Just out of curiosity, why do they set it up so you can't buy them the way you buy all the other weapons? Is it just to 'encourage' people to actually use the space station? Because from what I can tell, it'd be quite expensive to purchase them via the space station. Doesn't that entail buying or leasing space on the station? Because if so, that's expensive as hell.

Because they want you to spend gold coins and in turn purchase more gold coins from the GMs

Something along those lines I reckon. Space has yet to be made attractive to most it seems. There's quite a few untraded offers on carina. I wouldn't mind the GC scenario seeing as how they are so cheap in SC$ now.

Got you covered Chunty.
