Ah I love the smell of missile spam in the morning
Mind you between the sale of Mechs, components for Warhammers and Thuds to Olvetti, and of course sales from refit kits be they lostech or reasonably sized engines for the Cicada, argent maple sales, and of course various other lostech and regular material sales with more facilities coming online as time goes on and oh boy does the CAC have a good fiscal futureOnly so much money to go around, and as Knowledge suggested, they’ve picked up a few, but Weber only recently got his license to mint Kroner. Technically speaking, he’s only actually sold two Phoenix BattleMechs thus far, and all the money to build the line came out of CAC’s coffers. They were just about broke, which is why they took the Sevren job.
Also it occurs to me that the Commonwealth will probably pick up the tab for a fair few of the needed turrets once they get their garrison units and presumably some specialists in military fortifications there and evaluate what's needed to properly defend the holdfast. Although its going to take time for them to arrive, evaluate things, then spend their reports out,and then get the needed materials and equipment shipped to Catachan and then finally install them.
