[My Name is Immaterial]

"... Dissension amongst the crew so soon..."

"Sadly, the captain did not have their loyalty, yet. I can only hope that the captain is lenient on them, but I would not be surprised if they are persecuted to the full extent of the code."
With a sad chuckle, he finishes: "You might be able to apply to a higher position soon."

((Taricus, do we have ranged weapons? If so, do we have a personal mooring at Rickshaw? That might come in handy. The only other thing I can think of is magical sails.))

[Taricus]

((No equipment no, but the NPC crew itself is not finalised. Once that is, I can distribute it as needed.))

[My Name is Immaterial]

((What about cannons and the like?))

[Taricus]

...Please just check the relevant text file under the OP before asking questions about stuff like that :I

Oops. I was being lazy. So, magic sails or some cash towards a base.

Remuthra, could we purchase a small island from one of the empires? And by small, I mean more than a rock.

[Taricus]

I don't think we have the money for that. Same with the sails. The sails cost around 40k for a set of them.

Seven islands. Maybe once you have a few trillion gold, you could go see either the Empress or the Sultan, but these things are rather not-for-sale.

[Culise]

So, in other words, five-finger discount.  Or maybe a 40-cannon discount, but even that might be a trifle light for lifting an island from an entire Empire. 

[Taricus]

I think there needs to be more islands really

400-cannon discount might do it.  Just need about 2000 people to man and maintain the cannons.  And 1000 people to feed those 2000 people.  And 1500 people to guard those 3000 people.

[Taricus]

I don't think we'd ever get NEAR enough money to do that.

@Remuthra:
Really, only seven? There aren't any small ones with about 1000 to 5000 square feet of space, that are no more than a sea dashed spit of rock? Because I would expect those to be rather cheap.

Tis the main facet of the setting. Seven islands in the whole ocean, and that's it, unless you have some way to create your own (Or happen to discover one).

[GreatWyrmGold]

The Extra 12k we have left after everyone's contributions to the ship?

Note, this doesn't count Tahu's amount, since he's yet to finish his sheet.

((Hm.))

There are seriously no little islands? No atolls? BS.

And 1000 people to feed those 2000 people.  And 1500 people to guard those 3000 people.

750 people to feed those guards. And 375 people to guard those farmers. And 188 people to feed them. And 94 people to guard them. And 49 people to feed them. And 25 people to guard them. And 12 people to feed them. And 6 people to guard them. And 3 people to feed them. And one person to guard them. And one person to feed him.
750+375+188+94+49+25+12+6+3+1+1=1504 more people. So, 2000+1000+1500+~1500=6,000.

Or free.
Something like Pitcairn Island (or was it Henderson? Whichever one is made of coral and has the makatea) would be extravagent for our purposes.

Business plan get!

[Taricus]

How large are the islands anyway?
