You tell them that you'll take the stealth one, and it'll be painted blue, with red stripes and white stars. One of the engineers looks up at you and says "Uh.... You mean, an American flag...?" You tell them whatever, as long as it's done. They say the painting will take 3 hours. As you walk away, you see an army of drones be released from the wall, and they start spraypainting the whole thing. You then walk into the tavern to recruit people. A small group of 8 people are sitting at a table nearby- you decide they would be the most likely recruits. You walk over to them and prepare a speech...
Five minutes later, everyone at the table is staring at you, their mouths dropped. Then they all leap up and say yes, in many different ways, ranging from a quiet "Yes", to a screaming "HELLLLL YEAAAAH". They all follow you out, and for a few minutes you just stare at the drones as they paint the stealth-Interceptor. Your crew looks a bit bored after a minute, so you tell them to do whatever the hell they want to do, and they all head off to the shops. After a moment, you follow.
There are 5 shops here. One has an image of a missile on it. Another has an image of a plus sign. The third has an image of a computer. On the other side, there is one massive shop that has an image of a space-ship on it. And then there's another shop at the very end with a sign that shows an ion rifle and an electric saber.
Your crew fans out to different shops, each eager to spend their 1000$ on equipment for the coming journeys.
Now, simply post an action stating where you want to go. Everyone can go to the same place, or a different place. In about 4 turns, the ship will be ready.
