Try messaging... last best hope. He might be able to help.
Hell, you could start a thread here and ask him to move it.
I know I would like to see the sub-sector. Do you have a map?
 
Well its on paper. I was going to use it in a previous game but it didnt happen. I could put it through a scanner but its in a box under other boxes which I can't be arsed to move. If I get a sub forum rolling, I was going to have a thread dedicateed to the map.

I could just tell you the system on this but i will need it sent top every player.
 
Well tell us a little about it :)
Are there any incredibly high tech worlds?
Any barbaric ones (very low tech)
Very large?
Very small?
Very high pop?
Starports run by families? (i once had a world which had 8 people on it)
 
Well I am not going to put it detailed as I need to sort out things on the sun forum branch.

its on the rim of the imperium and is quite new as well. It was funded my the MegaTech corporations. the main systems mainly are trading or supplying food for the Imperium.

theres also a penal planet, and in the middle of empty space, warring families in two systems.

Corruption is rife in many parts of the Gaths XII. Piracy is not so much a problem in some parts of it.

Sounds like a fun seting.

I rechecked the new Mongoose rules. My ship shares should be 5 and not 3. My retierment pay should be 10,000cr. That would be mostly spent to maintain my liveing standard, right?

Not that I don't mind, if someone else picks up the tab. :D
 
Right, that's nine ship shares between us two. That makes me happy.
Make friends with me before trying to get me too pay...
 
From Cirocco's back history:

Cirocco was born to a well educated family with some ties to the Imperial Navy. Her Uncle was in service, but stationed elsewhere. Her family business centered around a winery and shipped to many of the higher class establishments on many of the richer worlds in the Regina subsector.


I was thinking she might have some investment cash from the family business to help out with the deposit on the ship in place of shares. I don't see her as nobility but more upper class citizen.

Ok then. If everything is in order and I can make it, we can start tomorrow. I will try and send a scan of the map. if i do, sorry for the handwriting. I will type in the infomation.

I have also threw away the basic world creation rules. I have just used it as guidelines. I will send you all this probably tomorrow. please feel free discuss other things that we need to get out of the way.

Is that ok with everyone?
Are we going to try to get an old one for more shares?
Or are we buying fresh of the lines?
 
nine percent... otherwise known as 9,953,550 credits.
A 10 year old ship could get us another 1 to 6% of the full price (10-15%). but it can get us a bad thing as well...
 
I say get a nice new ship. That new ship smell only comes around once!

I like the name allso.

The ship is great! But I think we should pay to have 2 built in hardpoints and pay for the Hardened computer model/2bis. It adds little cost and if we get weapons later. The computer will not need upgradeing, hopefully.
 
I don't think you have to pay for hardpoints. They're just there. Ok, what about this:

Stretched far trader
400 tons, streamlined: 17.6 Mcr
Crystaliron armour (4 points): 20 tons, 3.2 Mcr
Jump D (2): 25 tons, 40Mcr
Manouvre B (1): 3 tons, 8Mcr
Plant D: 13 tons, 32Mcr
Fuel: 1 jump-2 and two weeks: 88 tons
Bridge: 20 tons, 4Mcr
Model 1/bis,fib computer with jump control/2 software: 0.26Mcr
Basic civilian: 1 ton, 0.05 Mcr
2 Hardpoints
4 crew staterooms: 16 tons, 2 Mcr
6 passenger staterooms: 24 tons, 3Mcr
6 low berths: 3 tons, 0.3Mcr
fuel processors: 4 tons, 0.2Mcr
Cargo: 166 tons

Total cost: 110,610,000 credits
Life support: 20,600
Maintenance: 9,218

maintenance cost went up by 2 credits per month :D
Hard-points are free. So we have mountings for if we make it big
 
O ok, in the old rules you had to pay for your hardpoints. When you built the ship. Did not know it had changed.

The ship looks great. Nice basic Jump-2 tramp freighter. With a small passenger deck. Should be able to make some money.

Geting a mail or other long term cargo contract would be nice. But that would be more of a GM plot hook, than needed cash flow.
 
It certainly would be nice. Ensured cash flow with the ability to do some speculative trading on the side. One can dream cant one.
 
Well, since I didn't get any shares, am I just a paid employee??

Or is Dez agreeable to have Cirocco's family pop in say 3MCR investment to be paid back out of her profits, giving her 3 shares?
 
Well, you can still just be a crew-member who takes gets a split of the profits... a partner as it were... Or we can pay you pilots wages, but I warn you, it's not much.
 
I don't know about the family investment. I think I would be giving you too much of an advantage in this.

You also have a new engineer. I told him to contact you at some point.

I introduced myself I'm Maximilian Bishop (Dressed in formal business suit for imperial court) you can call me Max gentle smile, at one of the many events to The Lady Elena. and asked if shes enjoying the party and start in with the formal small talk. The Lady Elena has the impression that this gentlemen is somewhat sweet-talking and not overly aggressive persona he dose seem to have an adventurous spirit to explore the universe tho. And ends the conversation with a question "I hear your gathering crew for and adventure?" after a formal bow.
