No you can't pay for it, and there's a perfectly good forum hosted by the NS bunch.

Funny, a consensus on II said that I COULD.

Are the nations on II taking this monstrous list of previous purchases into account when determining whether you can afford these things or are you writing off each purchase and starting over when you are ready to buy something else?

It would be good if you could maintain a list of what you currently have... but yeah I agree on this forum it's abit hard.

This is how it generally works on II... First you purchase the product (either paying the full cost up front, or by working out some sort of repayment agreement... and it doesn't have to be in cash either, if you have something that the selling nation wants... but this is rare.

Then, they deliver the product... using a guesstimate of the amount of time that it would take the selling nation to build/deliver the product.

After that, the purchasing nation is responsible for all maintenance costs.

To answer Vil's question; yes, they are. And yes, i've worked out payment plans with all of them, since I obviously couldn't afford to pay the full amount all at once (as i've repeatedly told Falc, who seems to fail to listen to me).

I should also mention that all of the II storefronts that are worth anything also use NS economic calculators to see if the nation buying the weapons system can afford the purchase. The two most popular calculators for this role are NSEconomy and NSTracker.

I use NSTracker because it works more often than NSEconomy. Sorry about that, CH.
