It's hardly a gift if you buy something for yourself.

"Make 'ay!"
The concourse you were in was large for your smaller body. It didn't compare at all to your big sister's stealthy ship forms, let along your ship form.
And yet, the disturbance was easily spotted despite you and your big sisters being at one end of said concourse.
"Fer Prin-cess Him-me-ko!"
Quickly you climbed up a nearby bench, while allowed you to see massive green bodies festooned with an assortment of weapons and armor pushing a path for a floating palaquin surrounded by a small flotilla of drones. Your internal sensors pinged that one of your kin sat in that palanquin.
"Make 'ay!"
You could see the grumbling as a path was made for 'Princess Himeko' before you got down to where your big sisters were.
"Tch... looks like one of them showboat carriers," Jack said with a foul look at the palanquin as it made its way across the concourse with its escorts.
"Imma special little princess~" The gestures that Izuna made and the expression on her face as she replied brought a smile to yours.
There was a contemplative look on the faces of Aoi and Aki as they looked keenly at the palanquin and the sister in it. Eventually, they shrugged. "Eh... it's not like she's as big as Big Sister ChiChi."
"Indeed, Big Sister ChiChi is much more... mmmm... deliciously larger." The content looks on Aoi and Aki's faces was... well... it might be disturbing even if you're now certain you're safe from them.
As the palanquin and its escorts left the concourse, things returned to normal and you went back to contemplating what you had been looking at earlier as you licked at your ice cream in its waffle cone.
"Well, ma'am," the shopkeeper gestured at the display case of models in front of you. "The models here are all one to one thousand scale, and are more of a sample of what you'll be purchasing."
He gestured at a particular model. "This here is what we call the Monster, a mobile heavy artillery gun. Heavy firepower, but slow and requires a dedicated feed system for extended combat. It features a quad heavy railgun and a pair of heavy missile launchers."
"Then, we have the Phalanx." He smiled. "Like the Monster, it is slow and features heavy firepower. However, that firepower is in the form of missiles and thus, you get a heavy saturation of firepower that you can unleash all at once."
He continued on, pointing out the various anti-fighter types, and the energy intensive variants that used energy weapons instead of the more physical weaponry.
Still, the prices involved... it was 'only' two hundred plasma credits for the design schemata for a single Zoic Android. And that allowed you to build it, a place for it to stay on your ship as well as the assorted required components for its maintenance. For another two hundred more plasma credits, you would be provided a working version that didn't require dedicated fabrication of the parts and putting one together.
Two or four hundred credits... that was expensive. Still, this would allow you to have a pet for your ship body that would walk about and shoot stuff for you.

What's the difference in terms of 200 and 400 for space taken in terms of module slots? And the required time it takes to build our pet?

You currently have 499.5 plasma credits.
In terms of 200 plasma credits, you get the plans that you can use your own fabbers to make your pet. This will take time, approximately 5 turns. Your schematics can be used to maintain it and so on.
If you pay 400 plasma credits, you don't need to make your pet. And you get the schematics to maintain it and so on.
No actual space or resources is taken unless you go hogwild and build more than one.
Please note that the main draw of this is that you get a single pet that can be used in combat.

Huh. For some reason I'd been thinking that "pets" were equivalent to crew, but now it's sounding like they can be ships?
Or did you mean "combat" as in boarding actions?

More weapons, or at least finding out the pricetags on stuff better than what we have right now is like sounds good to me.
Looking up ways we can tinker with our personal girl-body would also be a point of interest if possible.

Honestly until it came to the last few paragraphs I thought that was what we were being offered from the shop, I'm still pretty sure it's a hull crawling turret system.

You can get a crew, you can get mecha/giant robots or even drone fighters... but not actual ship ships, unless you're hiring a crew and getting an unintelligent ship for them to crew.
Combat as in boarding actions or close up fighting.
Well... that's what the votes are for...
You can do either~ :3

Quick question, are our repair drones fully restocked or did we give the fast repair system entirely over to Big sis. It's been bugging me for the last few updates.

You gave your fast repair system to her... basically, what you did is what happens in a fight when one side is forced to give up equipment or systems and then they have to take time to repair/rebuild what was given up.
But the end result is that you have your fast repair system, and so does Big Sis ChiChi.

We gave her the supply of repair drones we had on hand and then fabbed up some more is my understanding of how it worked, and will work in the future. Kind of the same way the pet would work.

She must have Big Guns... Also primary role would be Ship Defense, we'd need to shuffle some of our insides around but, ideally she/he/hideyoshi should be able to reach any of our key spots without too much trouble.

I think getting schematics for the androids and building a couple would be a good idea- it would give us some interior defense in case an enemy manages to board us. The only other options we would have would basically amount to attacking them with our repair drones, which doesn't sound like it would work well. As tempting as just going to look at other stuff is I think covering a hole in our defenses that I for one didn't even realize was there until now is more important. Went ahead and added what to do after that as a subvote under it in case Bii doesn't have any other plans for after this update.
Also, just thought of something else- if we buy the schematics can we share them with the rest of our group too in case they want to make some of their own? If so it has even more value as a present as well.

You're basically looking at hull/external defenses... you'll be wanting the smaller mecha/robots for internal defenses.

Wait aren't we looking at human sized pets? How does Armor and Weapons affect sizes that much?

So basically mobile guns on the outside of our hull? Still sounds good to me, even if it doesn't give us any interior defenses. Going to need to look into finding something to protect us from boarding parties though, that seems important now that the possibility was brought up.

The shopkeeper was showing off with small scale "models"/"replicas" of the mecha in question....
They're ALL huge...the heavier the weapon armor systems... the bigger the mecha pet is.
Lolz.... :3

You have to think on the scale of a ship. To them a human is equal to what we would consider a pet ant. And a large weapon emplacement a pet gerbil.

We're a cruiser, so something to help with fighters would likely be the best bet. But something to pick off wounded escorts would not be remiss.

Pretty much, what you're looking at is scale... you're a spaceship. A pet Mecha or Fighter is reasonable... be it run by a Virtual Intelligence or a living creature.
