Re: OOC Discussions
Normally, a share represents 1/10th of the total value of the ship, but you can divide it up any way you want. It just needs a bank autorization, usually just a formality. The bank doesn't usually want to deal with payments smaller than 1/10th, so the caveat if you do subdivide is that you still have to pay them off in 1/10th increments, whether that's 20 shares now or 100 shares.
Yes, those shares are in addition to the ones she already has. It's a standard investor's clause that the survivor gets the other's shares, unless some other arrangement is made (such as the shares going to an inheritor).
According to the engineering diagnostics, there's nothing wrong with the Jump drive. It just doesn't work.
You might ask Shamus about it, since he was the engineer.
