:So what do you think a couple of hours, days a week perhaps?"

"A few days to a week most likely. Maybe quicker, maybe longer."

"The most important thing is to eat something that can be proven to have been alive. Not disrespecting the food on board ship but I haven't tasted blood since I pinched my thumb with a spanner just out from Roup."

"..and maybe one of those human taverns where they are into Lion Dancing!"

"A thick steak and a cold beer. Lion dancing is optional."

In reply to Harry McStubbin (msg # 31):

"I agree with Harry, nice steak and several cold brews.  Lion dancing not so much, Vargar opera now that more like it."

"I prefer human opera if any, not so much for it either. Lion dancing is better."

"If you try it you will love it. The Galactic Slide, The Cuspid Shuffle. I do not know why the humans call it Lion Dancing but my mates simply love it."

In reply to Exler Grahl (msg # 34):

" Ah well I guess to each his own.  lets let Harry get on with the business of buying and selling cargo while the rest of us find someplace to enjoy whatever shore leave we have ubtil we off again into the starry starry night"

"I better go to the Broker's Guild to check on cargo first, where do I meet you all after?"

In reply to Harry McStubbin (msg # 36):

" Find the bar with the most obnoxious noise and that's where I'll be.  Since we don't know any of the fine drinking establisments on this planet you will just have to make the rounds until you find us.  If there is a bar fight in progress I would start there first."e

"I'll start with the bar closest to the guild hall, spacers ALL drink!" Harry goes to the guild hall to look for a cargo, whether they just haul it, or potentially buy a cargo to speculate on.

OOC - what roll do you need StarMaster?

Harry would need to make a Broker roll... one for each of the categories he's interested in:

Mail (depends on where the ship goes next)
Passengers (may determine where the ship goes next)
Freight (hauling it for someone else; may also determine where the ship goes next)
Cargo (speculative cargo; you buy it outright and hope to sell for a profit)


Expenses for the ship are 500Cr for a week's berthing and 86,400Cr for fuel.


Arc, Exler, Joe and Oen-kek find themselves at a Spacer's bar called Holy Klono's Bells. Joe can probably get any information on planetary rules and regulations from the spacers in there as well as check the internet for it.

Steve joins you a few minutes later.

There are five possible destinations that passengers could want to go to that the Frumious Bandersnatch: Uakye, Efate, Boughene, Pixie and Enope. There are other worlds within reach, but they aren't particularly desirable destinations.

PASSENGERS

There's an archaeological group of 6 wanting to go to Enope (Jump-2). Interested only in Middle Passage, so that would be 54,000Cr.

There are 5 passengers looking for passage to Efate (Jump-3), middle passage, for 75,000Cr.

There are 8 passengers going to Boughene (Jump-2), middle passage, for 72,000Cr.

And there are 2 passengers wanting to go to Pixie (Jump-3), high passage, for 40,000Cr.

MAIL

There's almost always mail going to significant planets; Efate, Boughene and Pixie all fall into that category. Although the ship doesn't have a history yet, the crew does have a positive reputation, so the ship will be trusted to handle mail.

6 containers for Efate for 150,000Cr.
3 containers for Boughene for 75,000Cr.
4 containers for Pixie for 100,000Cr.

FREIGHT

There are 29 major freight lots.
1,2,5 lots going to Efate.
3,5,5 lots going to Boughene.
3,2,3 lots going to Pixie.

There are 39 incidental freight lots.
5,6,1,5 lots going to Efate.
2,6,5,6 lots going to Boughene
1,2 lots going to Pixie.

SPECULATIVE CARGO

Harry finds a supplier in FTI (Feri Trans Industrials).

Basic Electronics, 70 tons @ 20,000Cr per ton.
Basic Machine Parts, 90 tons @ 10,000Cr per ton.
Basic Manufactured Goods, 40 tons @ 20,000Cr per ton.
Basic Raw Materials, 120 tons @ 5,000Cr per ton.
Basic Vehicles, 160 tons @ 500Cr per ton.
Basic Ore, 180 tons @ 1,000Cr per ton.

Robots, 25 tons @ 400,000Cr per ton.
Petrochemicals, 60 tons @ 10,000Cr per ton.
Uncommon Raw Materials, 30 tons @ 20,000Cr per ton.
Advanced Vehicles, 20 tons @ 180,000Cr per ton.
Medical Supplies, 20 tons @ 50,000Cr per ton.

Efate is looking good. Passengers, mail, and freight!

What do you want to do? Efate and a regular cargo, or speculate to make some coin?" Harry asks the others at the bar. "I have a few hours to set it up."

In reply to Harry McStubbin (msg # 43):

Why can't we do both?  Buy mostly regular cargo and fillup whatever is left with Spec?

"We can carry 125.5 tons, I need to find out how much the mail weighs and how much we have in the kitty to buy a cargo."

"Mail is always 5 tons per container. Its kept standard to ease shipping. Blessed few things are more profitable than mail. Cr5000 per ton for 0 cost".

"Thanks Ex, I never hauled mail before. That's thirty tons of mail, that leave 95.5 tons for cargo."

In reply to Harry McStubbin (msg # 47):

First I think you should find out the trade codes for where we are going.  Take the mail and whatever cargo best fits our destination.  Any left over space can be used for spec cargo.y

"That's the idea, 30 tons of mail, 95 tons of spec cargo."

08:46, Today: Harry McStubbin rolled 13 using 2d6+5 with rolls of 4,4. machine parts.

08:43, Today: Harry McStubbin rolled 10 using 2d6+5 with rolls of 3,2. robots.


OOC What would our cost be, I don't know where the chart is.

Harry negotiates for the following purchase prices:

08:46, Today: Harry McStubbin rolled 13 using 2d6+5 with rolls of 4,4. machine parts. 85% DM at Efate will be +3.
08:45, Today: Harry McStubbin rolled 15 using 2d6+5 with rolls of 4,6. basic electronics. 70% DM at Efate will be +2.
08:44, Today: Harry McStubbin rolled 13 using 2d6+5 with rolls of 5,3. medicine supplies. 85%
08:44, Today: Harry McStubbin rolled 10 using 2d6+5 with rolls of 3,2. advanced vehicles. 100%
08:43, Today: Harry McStubbin rolled 17 using 2d6+5 with rolls of 6,6. uncommon raw materials. 65%
08:43, Today: Harry McStubbin rolled 13 using 2d6+5 with rolls of 5,3. petrochemicals. 85%
08:43, Today: Harry McStubbin rolled 10 using 2d6+5 with rolls of 3,2. robots. 100%

None of the others will get a DM.

30 tons of uncommon raw materials - 390kcr
65 tons of Basic Electronics - 910kcr +2 on Efate

They'll give us the best margins.

1.3Mcr. mail and 5 passengers.
