lets do 5 and then do 3 to the cargo ship.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

lets do 5 and then do 3 to the cargo ship.

Problems
1) We know nothing about the cargo ship, I doubt that it parts are better for Salvation
2) It's too early to fly to the colony anyway
3) we need to dock some port to unload pirates

BTW, I am strongly against taking the pirates in the crew, we did that once, and it's enough

I really prefer option 4, we got hired to fight pirates, we got them, we give the government some captured pirates, bodies of their comrades and their ship... Like a good cop

[Aseaheru]

can we drop off the ships and keep the pirate ship? we can dump it off if they want it.

[Big_James_B]

From the background of the rp it might not be worth doing the indpendant mining company. The fees, tarrifs and such were enough to make legitimate people turn to piracy in the first place. Having an extra ship is ok, but that'd mean eitehr splitting up PCs and/or NPCs or hiring more crew to outfit the other ship, which would cost more money. I'm tempted to agree with turning the otehr ship into an auxiliary combat ship and additional cargo hauler, but we don't know that much about it. I have a sinking suspicion that the ship is stolen or something similar.

I'll just sit here, think about what we should do with the pirates and their vessel and drum my fingers on the table as my little plot hook goes partially ignored...

Right.
Lets sell the mining debris and drop off the captives at whatever government group wants them.

The mining debris is just rocks. No more, no less.

[Aseaheru]

bah.
oh well. perhaps we can have them prossesed?

Debris, not ore, I'm afraid.

You know, a descision on which of the plans to follow might be nice. Otherwise I'll need to roll the dice.

[TopHat]

I'd go for either 1a or 4.

[Aseaheru]

4 but try to keep the ship.

You set course for the black market. A few jumps later, you again arrive in the black market system. The newly acquired shuttle gets you some weird looks in the port, but noone makes a fuss about it.
Your enquirings are resolved quickly. Repairing the Mining shuttle will cost 275 credits for armor replacements; and 45 credits in replacement circuitry. The missile rack will only net you a meager 150 credits, which is about the worth of the metal it's made from.

There's some confusion about what to do with the recently captured pirates. You could try to give them to governement and cash in on the bounty, but it appears one of the crewmembers knows one of them. Besides, if you'd do that, there's a chance they'd confiscate the mining ship. (You should settle the ownership of that anyway). However, cashing in on the bounty without evidence is rather impossible.

In the meantime, some of the crew has explored the station, and come upon some most interesting broadcasts. The plague is stil going strong, resisting several attempts to quarantaine it. Closer to here, organised Pirate squadrons have taken over yet another planet. Official sources do not confirm this message.

An NGO wants you to bring humanitary aid towards the pirate controlled sectors in the libertitas system. Technically, the pirates are supposed to be quarantained and bereft of supplies, but the governement doesn't posses the force to maintain the blockade.

A Mining compagny is looking to hire people to find out what happened to it's mining outpost, which was located in one of the sectors taken over by the pirates. They also have security enforcement options for several other mining installations.

Some civilians are having problem with their spacestation. It was recently hit by a micrometeroid, and they need to gather a lot of spare parts for repairs.

You can probably gather more jobs near the black market, or somewhere else.

A large Alliance Cruiser, dating back to the war. Modified and refitted by the crew. The ship's painted in light blue, with several spots and stripes added to aid in visual deception. There are several fake spots on the wings, and stripes to make the ship appear longer. The Engines are painted in a blue/white combination, matching the color of the engine exhaust(in space, in the air it's quite obvious if the engines are on or not). The top bridge is flanked by 2 stars, painted in orange and black. On the sides, the name of the ship is painted in big friendly letters.

You might or might not have noticed, but I decided to overhaul the entire roll system behind this game. This should add some variation in the mix.

As such, all players get 16 points to divide over 3 different skills

Spoiler: On RP (click to show/hide)

Frankly, I don't care. Just make sure the action is legible and understandable. If you want some rules, have them.

1. Be nice, respectfull, whatever ... (Obligatory common sense rule)
2. RP is encouraged, but not required/
3. Try to keep IC and OOC seperate. Don't answer OOC to IC questions. (The reverse is fine, but confusing, so maybe better not)
4. Make sure people can tell the stuff apart.

Spoiler: A Note (click to show/hide)

Recently noticed that interest is a bit low, both on my side, as well as player initiative.

I wonder if reinforcing the overarching plot would help a bit.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

I am very surprised that this game is not very popular among players...
It's my all-time favorite

_______________
So, question remains, what to do with the mining ship? This is a major turning point, do we go multi ship route or keep the vessel? I'd rather turn in the pirates and try to negotiate our bounty in form of the vessel and proper licenses for both of our ships, without bureaucratic delays. Or just credits if we fail. Win\Win. Good reputation is useful
Also, I think that government may be very glad to get chance to pay bounty with mining company property, right?
Another thing we should consider asking government for: experienced crew as we need more, but that may tie us to the government to much and limit our shady actions...

Also, I suggest to sell all hand made missiles to Salvation and load fighters with it

Also, we should sell the mining scanner, should government ask about it - it was looted by pirates

[TopHat]

I agree with the above. We could also ask around at the black market to see if they have any interesting jobs.
