INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO


* = NOTE: This is, essentially, a non-voting partnership since there is no person that represents the ship... although it could be an extra vote given to the Captain (who, at this time, is Vonon). This money was deposited into the ship account at the dissolution of the previous company, which was done because a number of PCs bowed out.

CURRENT SHIP VALUE: 87,110,000Cr.
That's the 100-year depreciated value of the Long Shot. There's no such thing as a Blue Book value for it because no one has ever merged a System Defense Boat AND a Jump Shuttle together into a single non-separable ship before. Plus, it has a boatload of changes and upgrades to it.

If everyone buys into the Longshot Ship Company, the equity would then be 101,110,000Cr. Each crewmember's equity share would be 7.2MCr. Such a deal! Pay 1, get 7!

If you don't buy into the Ship Company, you'll just be hired on as crew, collect your monthly pay, and you won't have a vote in what the ship does or where it goes.


Even I am starting to get confused. So, while I think everyone is saying the same thing, I'm just going to declare a GM fiat and say that this is the way it is.

You forgot to write me in (1 MCr to ship and 0.5 MCr to trade).

Cargo Balance 7,167,625
Ship expenses balance 13,611,625

In reply to Walter Zeller (msg # 4):

I always get confused with these terms with my own bank Account....

So, "Ship expenses balance", that means the balance of expenses owed, right?  We owe 13 Mil?!

Might use a better term but it is how much we have for ship expenses.

How about "Running costs balance"?

In reply to Walter Zeller (msg # 6):

While I do like that turn of phrase, in my old-fossil mind, it still makes me think of out-going monies.

Just keep it simple for my Old Fogey mind--could we just call it "The Ship's Account".  To me that just means "The Ship's Money".

Will do.

What luxuries we pay all that money for Sir Walter? For staterooms and lounge?
This message was last edited by the player at 13:28, Sat 28 Aug 2021.

Buying home theater systems for each of the staterooms and a feature that you can have the rooms lighting, humidity and temperature resemble home.

In reply to Walter Zeller (msg # 15):

Sweet!

And an autobar (drink mixer) for the lounge/dining room.

In reply to Walter Zeller (msg # 17):

Keep everyone happy and drunk? ;-)

That doesn't actually stock the bar. If it did, that would be a really cheap bar and really cheap alcohol. If you want a truly comprehensive selection of drinks, 1,500Cr should give you a good choice. If you plan on doing a LOT of drinking, double that to include a reserve.

In reply to StarMaster (msg # 19):

For 3,000Cr Sylvester will stock the bar.

That would get you good quality liquors, and about 10 cases of beer and 40 bottles of wine. Veronika can make the selections for you. She has the sommelier program.

In reply to StarMaster (msg # 21):

He will also bring on a few cases of his favorite Napoleon Brandy too, and cigars!

Remember we also restocked the one ton of luxuries for 100k.  Presumably, that has some consumables.  But, Sharik would also pay additional consumables (and not just alcohol) as necessary.  I presume with Carouse/3 and a decent INT/EDU modifier that she potentially has a decent knowledge of various libations as well.   Admittedly, she doesn't have any Steward skill (but does have JoAT/3).

In reply to Sharik Kaagira (msg # 23):

JoaT 3 is AWESOME! I don't have it or Steward, I just know how to pamper myself! We are a pampered crew, should be NO turnover. Except Vonon's FLEAS! Maybe a Flea Collar?

     I would remind y'all that Vonon is not the only Fabulously Furry member of this Crew.  He isn't even the most Carnivorous--but he comes close!  ^_^
