Wow! You people move fast in this thread. 8)
Also, are we to be using up our contacts in exchange for the connections? Or are the connections in addition to already acquired contacts? I suspect the latter and I bring it up only because it may be nice to have contacts & allies OUTSIDE of our group in case if we need the additional information or resources.
Team -
I'm strongly inclined to ditch any ship boats in exchange for more cargo space. The mortgage for this ship is 244954 per month. With all the staterooms filled (and crew at double occupancy) we're looking at 21000/month for life support. Grand total is a whopping 265954.
Income adds up to 41000 for freight and 72000 for 6 high passengers at jump 2. Double this for 2 trips a month for a total of 226000.
We'll definitely have to do some cargo speculations with the ship as is. Note, too, that I did not count maintenance or salary (i.e. cost of living) costs.
Ditching the Launch would give us an additional 40000 credits a month. Tight, but a possibility to stay afloat with our combined ship shares and an older ship.
I think we also need to ask ourselves ... do we really want (or have the character game time) to do that much speculating throughout our adventures? I'm all for trying this out but this may not appeal to some of you.
I can't see any request from supergamera regarding Bishop so I'll go ahead and nab the connection for now. Evan helped Rebecca against a bunch of street thugs and has been refining his Gun Combat (Slug Pistol) skill ever since. Supergamera, if you did claim the connection then let me know.

I have Drive 0 but I must have missed how this applies to the "Ship Boat" discussion. Drive skill only pertains to ground vehicles.
How 'bout ... The Antares Connection (hey, I tried) :?
gerzel - Sounds good. Your ship stats are different from the original CT version but you probably already knew that. Besides, we could use the extra cargo capacity. Also, does the deckplan appear somewhat like the original or totally new?

DPSteve said:Silly question, is there still room? I'd very much be interested in playing as I'm having a heck of a time finding a local game.
I'd be interested in playing a merchant of some sort, unless there's already a merchant focus present. I don't mind filling gaps either
There is still room yes, as long as you can commit to posting at least once/per day and reading other's posts.

Shouldn't be an issue, thanks
I'm in the process of rolling right now. I'm in term 3 so I should be done relatively soon.

I think they are in addition yes.
Chronus said:
The ship is very similar to the CT version (actually I was using the Gurps: Traveler version for my reference) but is of a different manufacturer. Basically it is made by people who have a slightly different view on what a safari ship and what a safari in general should be like (people who like to cook and eat their prey rather than capture and display--Thus the kitchen and no capture tanks). The deckplans are similar.

I've decided to give you guys a group skill package. I'll start off letting you guys pick who gets what skill by consensus, if that don't work I'll let you guys take picks in turns.
Red Light Skill Package
Steward 1
Pilot (any) 1
Trade: Cooking 1
Medic 1
Advocate 1
Diplomat 1
Astrogation 1
Also I can give you guys a ship patron who will contribute up to 20 shares towards the ship. The more shares you take the more demanding the patron will be (as he or she owns more of the ship). Decide how many shares you want the patron to have (0 to 20) and I'll write up two to three possibilities for that patron and let you choose which one.

hello every one I am working on a character to join the Forum game, Character name well be Cristofur Housey.
is there any particular gap in our group so far that some might like to see?
I well have Cris rolled up shortly and posted by tomorrow.
so any suggestions are welcomed.
by the way my real name is Chris too so this makes it easy!
I have been gaming for about 25 years and Traveller, for about 21 maybe 22 years. I am still not the type of fan that owned every thing. I owned the 1-6 BOOKS AND NEVER really saw a need to get more.
this is my first play by forum. so this well be real interesting.

Supergamera, asked if someone had Driver/Flyer skill. I did not think we did.
Looks like we may get to the 8 players cap? Should we dich the Launch on the Safari ship and use the 20 tons for more staterooms, as the ship is stremlined? The more passengers we have the more we need steward / cooks. Is 8 crew to many for a 200 ton Safari ship / High Liner? We can cut our cargo space way back. Just enough for a mail drum and maybe 10ish tons more?
or
Start looking at 400-600 ton ships? The ship shares are starting to add up, we could end up with a used ship for around 1/2 a new ships cost? So our limition becomes crew positions and not monthly overhead? As long as we don't get silly with non-income produceing extras.

My post was in response to the new peole asking what we still needed. If we hit your 8 person cap, most everything should be covered. The new Merchant alone could cover any of the 3 gaps I posted. So your skill package will be helpfull to just round things out a bit.

If I take the Diplomat-1 group skill, can I adjust my Event skill which gave me Diplomat-1 to Recon-1, and my connection that gave me Recon-1 to Stealth-1?
Uh oh.
We need to be mindful of our ability to carry mid and high level passengers. The new MGT rules states that 2 high passengers, or 5 mid passengers, are allowed for each Steward skill level (including 0). Of course, we can use luxuries to make up for this. So far, I can only see one Steward 0 skill amongst our characters.
Skill-wise, my character can't do a darn thing on starships, except maybe defend it. I'd be happy to take the Steward 1 skill if nobody else objects.

Do we have enough cash to buy one or two Servitor Robots or maybe get them financed as part of the ship deal? They have Steward 2 skill, but cost 120,000cr each. On the upside they do not need a Stateroom or pay 8)
Edit: Are we going to want an AutoDoc to monitor the low berths?
How abought Cargo and Repair Robots?

All crew who are working as stewards add their skills together for how many passengers they can take care of.
So we need a Head Steward, a Chef ( the full kitchen lets him add his skill levels to the steward levels ), the rest can be Robots or live crew. Plus the Safari ship has 2 tons of Luxuries, which add +2DM for steward check rolls.
