You're one of them.

You'll need GM okay, but maybe Pablo?  Pablo started as a Player but is now an NPC.  He's an ex-Carillian Space Marine.  Human, I think he may be in his late 20's.  I'm not 100%, but I think he and Vonon had a shared background of both being Belters--but don't hold me to it.

This game seems to have gone rather quiet.

It ebbs and flows, but stick with it - its been going a while like that

Yeah, Vonon just went to get a sandwich...it took a few months...

I am still here but as I am not on the bridge there isn't really anything for me to say.

I am glad I am not on the Bridge or I would be ROTFLMAO.

What?  What I say? ^_^

I propose a dance off!

In reply to Sharik Kaagira (msg # 727):

I got yer Dance Off right here… ^_^


Hey, since Sir Walter brought it up--us having cargo stored in the holds, that is--I went and checked the Cargo Manifest thread.

Is the cargo we are currently carrying the stuff listed in the last two posts of that thread, dated "Mon 30 Jan 2017" and "Mon 27 Feb 2017"?  Just curious.

The Feb 27th post is what's in the cargo hold. ,(The other post was to determine what was available.

In reply to Walter Zeller (msg # 729):

Cool.  All of that stuff should do well at Cassandra's Belt.

Also, if we actually have access to some of this money from the Scouts, I'd like to suggest we look into purchasing a Ship's Boat of some kind, when we get to Rockport (Class B Starport, Tech C (Average Imperial)).  The system as a whole may be classified as "Nonindustrial" but that's just because of a low density, dispersed population.  Rockport actually services Imperial Navy ships crossing from Imperium Space to Outpost.  We might have a good chance of lucking into a used IN Ship's Boat, or we could have one built--it'll just be expensive & take a long while.

As I look around the neighborhood, there really isn't any better place to get a Ship's Boat built in the area--even if we travel to the nearer Imperial Worlds.  Cassandra's Tech C is hard to beat--only Outpost has a higher tech (Tech D).  I suppose we could try to buy a Ship's Boat while we're there--if we think we can do it without interference from The Baroness.

We have a 20 ton launch on the ship and its hold is packed with goods. More to be covered in the ships meeting as to modifications. (But I have a few, starting with the weapons.)

In reply to Walter Zeller (msg # 731):

We have a 20 Ton launch?  When did we get that?  Dear God, just how long was I asleep for?

I had to dig into the messages. I though you had flown it out of the ship to load it but that was Pablo, you rode with me into town to get supplies.

In reply to Walter Zeller (msg # 733):

Was it originally aboard the Longshot?  I could have sworn I remembered the Longshot not having a Boat...but then, I've convinced myself that all my forgetfulness is early Onset Alzheimer's, so...what were we talking about? ^_^

Sorry, Vo.  That is definitely you, buddy... :D

The launch has been with the Longshot since the beginning...  We knew that we weren’t going to be landing a 600-ton ship dirt side every time (originally, I asked the GM about Shar’s Ship’s Boat benefit, and if it was better to take that or the ship shares; so, that may have made the presence of the launch more obvious to her, but still...).

In reply to Sharik Kaagira (msg # 735):

Huh.  I just have this really strong memory that, when we snuck aboard the Longshot that first time, the Boat Bay was empty--and we were flying a borrowed Boat...

Oh, well.  I'm not gonna look a gift launch in the mouth.  That's a few Mega-Cred we don't have to spend ^_^



So...just where does a 600-ton, thick-hulled, heavily armoured, System Defense Boat land?
Answer: On top of anything it wants to...

This may seem to be out of the blue but I have a feeling that if all we did was buy and sell cargo, it would quickly get boring for the rest of you. Since we did a fantastic job dealing with the alien vessel, the notion of performing salvage operations or things of that nature might be of interest.

I was looking at the past posts from Jan-Feb 2016 and I do not see us doing anything about forming a corporation in character. We had talked about it ooc and everyone chipped in a million. With three of them gone (30% of the company), we could close out their shares and start from scratch. Rather than being a ship hauling cargo, we could be a corporation and those that leave, they just headed off to open field offices for us.

I'll buy in.

Salvage, trade, and troubleshooting... that should keep us from getting bored.

Salvage, on the other hand, can be tricky. I was once in a game where that was the premise of the group, and the GM threw a lot of odd salvage operations at us. A rock star wanted us to salvage his career. A woman wanted us to salvage her marriage. A businessman wanted us to salvage his reputation.

Those were thinking outside the box. Are we going to take on those sorts of things?

Checking in.

Should we continue the discussion about the business on the Aboard thread or here?
(Vonons post if in my opinion a bit hard to work with)

Don't mind. I'm just checking in.

Did my conversation ever continue?
