not just that, every chum's favorite corp at that! I'll let the release speak
for itself....
+++++ Include News Release
Hello there and good morning! I'm Charlie Fingers and I'm here in Denver to
send, direct to your trid screen, the latest and greatest news in the FRFZ.
This morning, that news relates to Maxim Arms, who has been conspicously
absent from the news as of late.
Last night, with all the fanfare of the opening of a new corporate headquarters,
Maxim Arms revealed to the world the opening of a new line of products, both
commercial and military, that will supposedly revolutionize the world of
personal armor, vehicle body manufacturing, and metalurgy. Apparently, through
the use of orbital fabrication, Maxim Aerotech, with Maxim Armament Research
scientists, have discovered a method of creating ultra-lightweight metal foams
and microcellular tetrahedral titanium structures that have more than triple
the tensile strengh of a similarly designed terrestrial member. What this
means, in terms that we all can understand, is that by using orbital
manufacturing and fabrication, Maxim has been able to make metals that are
lighter and stronger than thier ground based counterparts.
The display that Maxim put together are all prototypes of weapons, armors,
and displayed with actual test data and demonstrations of the strength of the
various metal and polymer structures that their new materials will allow.

Based on this news alone, Maxim stock shot up 56.78 Y, and is expected to
rise further in the next few days on the rumor that Maxim has already begun
limited production of some of the armor and the vehicle frames. If this proves
to be true, then Maxim will have at least a full year head start on all of the
Big 8 except for Ares Macrotech. After Maxim's buyout of the combined Fuchi/
Saeder-Krupp manufacturing facilities last year, Maxim and Ares are the only
two corporations to maintain manufacturing and fabrication presences in orbit,
and only Maxim has the ability to produce a reasonable amount of product in a
short amount of time.
Further, Maxim has also announced that they have already begun the construction
of a robotic lunar mining facility using the recently purchased Ecuadorian
mass driver. They have already soft-landed 14 preliminary probes on the lunar
surface, Maxim reps say, and some 230 more, including all the necessary systems
to operate a lunar mine remotely, are planned. The Corp Court and numerous
environmental organizations have already lodged complaints with Maxim Arms
President and CEO Nicole Velli, who has yet to respond, Court sources say.
However, launches from the mass driver have temporarily ceased, but this might
as well be due to the position of the moon as any intent to placate the Court.
This reporter is not equipped nor willing to speculate.
Until more information becomes available, this has been Charlie Finger, and
until next time, good day.

Well, that's that. It explains the relative lack of action on Maxim's part....
But I wonder where the tech for the foaming came from. I only know of one
vehicle that has that kind of tech on it.....]<<<<<
