GALNET - 29 DEC 3306 - Lakon Spaceways Faces Financial Collapse

Economic instability has caused the value of shares in Lakon Spaceways to drop to unprecedented lows, placing the company’s future in doubt.

A hostile takeover bid by Federal corporation Core Dynamics has raised concerns in the Alliance over the loss of a major defence contractor. The Independent Commission for Market Equality has also reported irregularities in the recent transfer of share ownership, which may lead to criminal investigations.

As a result, although Lakon Spaceways continues to manufacture and sell ships, its lack of reserves and a loss of confidence among investors may lead to insolvency and dissolution.

Trent Delaney, the newly appointed chairperson of Lakon’s board of directors, announced:

“Financial mismanagement and a litany of poor business decisions have led to this situation. Rest assured that once formal negotiations with our new parent company are complete, Lakon’s stock will rise to new heights.”

According to Federal business analysts, there are indications of displeasure among Core Dynamics senior directors regarding this takeover. An anonymous source from within the corporation told Vox Galactica:

“The Lakon merger is entirely Jupiter Rochester’s project. Frankly, it’s sheer greed. Our income has soared recently with new commissions from the Navy, but Rochester’s grabbing hands are always reaching for something. He runs the departments that are loyal to him like they’re his personal kingdom.”

Figured as much ever since the first takeover bid... and totally not surprised about the suspected irregularities here.

Aren't we a bit premature here, Delaney? It's never wise to count your chickens before they hatched...

And that's the Fednecks for you...
 
I wasn't sure what to expect, so I am not all that surprised. Even with my limited funds I made 2 Lakon ship (0 Core Dynamics ship) purchases while the ships were 'on sale', just to protect from a lack of supply in the future.
 
I predict Lakon will go bust and their ships will be withdrawn from sale prior to Odyssey's launch. Get your Asps in gear before they're forever gone. ;)

No way. Some people (not me) are constantly crying for new ships. Frontier won't just remove 12 ships from the game.
