The regular salary is 4,000Cr for an Engineer, I made it 4,500Cr because you are cross trained into other jobs as well.

There is a ships boat already.

Ah, check, thanks!

I think a pinnace takes up space that could be used for trading or extra fuel.

Realistically, we won't have a situation where half the team sits on board waiting for the people on the away team to come back (because that means no action for months of real time on end).

On the other hand, we could sell the pinnace (10MCr) and then stock expensive goods for trading.

If that is possible, even if we don't get the full price, that would be perfect.

  You don't generally get to outright sell a benefit like that. If you don't want to have the pinnacle then the 'Ships With Benefits' segment applies: it's out there doing work somewhere and you get 25,000/year of income.

It would have been a bit too much perhaps ;).

Then lets see what we can do with the ships shares.

In reply to Tal Atvar (msg # 157):

I believe you can buy collapsible fuel tanks at 500 per ton. When not in use they can collapsed to 1 percent of their full size. This would allow us the option for multiple jumps with permently commiting the tonnages.

Or we just sell it again after using it and buy a new one if we need one. Whatever goes through my characters hands is likely to generate a profit.

edit: it=collapsible fuel tank

Nefarious Thought: We sell the ships boat with the ship, and use mine :P.

I thought I read somewhere that you could exchange boats for one or two ships shares when you mustered out.

Edit: I was wrong. My bad

We can't really sell the boat that it comes with since the whole package is owned by whatever company subsidizes it. They probably won't object to improvements, but disposing of major assets is another matter!

Just to be clear Are we limited to TL 10 gear to start?

If so I am going have to redo my equipment then.

If it's bought on Aramis, yes.

Unless you'd have access to higher TL while there for some reason (contacts in an appropriate corporation/military).

Muster-out gear ignores this and can be whatever TL the muster-out option allows for.

If it's something that they would have reasonably obtained before Aramis, it's probably negotiable as long as it isn't something crazy and/or extreme TL. (Coming in with a higher-tech custom vacc suit is probably fine. Coming in with a matter disintegrator is pushing your luck. ;) )

Funny you should  mention custom Vac suit. I better go and  seek approval for that and one other item. No disintegration devices though.

Is the whole crew staying in the same hotel in the downport? For the sake of the planet side RP, should we assume that they all at least met each other in the recruitment?

I found on the internet a neat calculator for the MgT 2E spaceships. Here is the Subsidized Merchant configuration:

(The total costs do not match because totals in the rulebooks include costs for carried craft, 20 dt Launch in this case. Also Mongoose are known for they make a lot of mistakes in the ships' statistics).
You can make a copy, remove the filtering and use it as a template for the ship building.

You can, I don't know how.

Open the link, go to "file", "make a copy", save it to your Google Drive, then you can edit the file. Or, you can save it as Excel but there are some conflicting issues between the online Google spreadsheets and MS Excel.

PS.
Or, if nothing helps, here is a link which anyone can edit:

I posted your link in its own thread, thanks for the help.

Something is wrong with that ship, it seems.

In reply to Leroy Ogambe (msg # 180):

The ship and its floor plan are under 'maps'

Leroy, want to help me get some new electronics, I need a new Comm Dot and a new Database.

In reply to Tal Atvar (msg # 182):

I'm just an astrogator. Besides, a commdot costs 10 cr.

I still don't understand why Mongoose has such trouble with basic math when it comes to making its ship stats add up, but then their editing often leaves a lot of other things to be desired.
