Re: OOC Chatter (1)

My character rolled a trader and a yacht, which were converted into 1 ship share each. I think I'm going to buy the ship a double turret and twin beam lasers.

Anyone else with ship shares?

How much of this ship do we own?

Re: OOC Chatter (1)

Also, for the package: What is your character's skill dot total.

Mine has 9 skills (2+2+1+1+1+1+1+some zeros).

Edit: I have 1 connection so far. Still looking for a second character to connect to. I haven't included connection points, so atm, the total is 10.

Re: OOC Chatter (1)

I have either 2 ship shares, or a pinnace. At the moment I am thinking of going for the pinnace.

At the moment I have 8 skills points (2+1+1+1+1+1+1), including 1 connection point.

21.

I think that the GM is going with 'just pick any one skill from the package' rather than the rotation method though.

Re: OOC Chatter (1)

I've found this. I love it. It will make trading so much easier. Can we have a resource thread, we can add stuff to. I bet there are lots of other cool things out there!

Re: OOC Chatter (1)

How much in cash reserves does the ship have to buy cargo with - as the broker, I'd like to buy cargo for the ship, but I'd need to know how much money I can use, plus a destination (if one is known).

It's something I can deal with before the game proper starts.

How many ship shares does the crew have to invest? 2 or 3 MCR? More? Less? Destination could depend on the cargo you find too.

Re: OOC Chatter (1)

Carver: 2 shares
Heike: 4 shares
Leroy: 2 shares
Tal: 2 shares
Danila: 0 shares
Copeland: ???
Khue: ???

So I can use Leroy's shares to buy 2 MCr worth of cargo?

Re: OOC Chatter (1)

In reply to Leroy Ogambe (msg # 148):

They aren't cash, but they can be used for some things. 10 shares, the ship, as I posted, is actually owned by a blind trust, buy into the trust is possible, upgrades to the ship are possible too. To get out of the Aramis Trace you need external fuel tanks or jump 2.

I'll take anyone's two cents worth of 'advice'.

We can assign a number to buy trade goods with randomly.

That'll work, perhaps.

Re: OOC Chatter (1)

So what good does buying 2 shares of the ship do?

This is confusing!

Gets you a bigger share of the profits. If you aren't part owner, you get your salary.

Gvoudzon has two shares and Teddy two as well. I'll let you guys figure the rest of it out. Half of everything goes to the Blind Trust who are the owners, so I'm guessing you'll have to be part of the Blind Trust, how does that work out? I don't know, Khue, got a suggestion?

In reply to Gvoudzon (msg # 156):

Here's a suggestion from someone not a Vargr, take the shares and look into how much it costs to buy fuel tanks and if we don't have enough we put it in a bank or investment house until we have enough and maybe by then we can have decided how all this works.

Re: OOC Chatter (1)

@Leroy: I also have cr40k to invest in cargo.

@Nerull:
quote:
Theodore looks over the resume and nods, 4,500Cr a month, we need an engineer


Either this is wrong, or the number in the crew thread is wrong, which is it ;).

Finally, I am still debating about my choice of either 2 ship shares or a ships boat. Do we have any practical use for a pinnace?
