"Diverting Power.. Prepare to Jump in 3...2...1" The lights dim to a minimun, all non-essental are turned off. You hear a Slow, Humming sound that start to get louder and louder untill you see a Flash, then the lights return to normal, all teh systems boot back up, and you are travelling along in Jump Space
"Course Ploted, Please Divert Power to the Jump Drive, and Engage on my mark.
The Beam Vixen rumbles as it struggles to free itself from the Planet's Grasp. A few minutes later, she is victorious, Clearing the Spaceport and heading into the Open Sky. 30 more minutes pass, as the ship finally breaks the Atmosphere, and into Orbit. It is yet another hour before you are far enough away from the gravity of the planet to prepare for a Jump ”please plot us a course to Saki.”
J-drive:
Crispin Also Checks a few Systems; J-Drive, and M-Drive. All Systems Check out, as Tara Gives the Thumps up for Launch. "Mr. Qadar, Take us into Orbit, and Clear of the Planet.. I want to take this time to Thank every for giving me a chance to make us all alot of Money!"
"so Tractors and Art Supplies it is.. They will be loaded within the Hour. Lets get our Cabins Picked out, and store our Gear. Then lets Head to the Bridge, take out stations, and do a Systems Shake down, and prepare for Launch. I'll take the Cabin up top, by the Passenger Quarters, so I can be Closer to Serve them."
"well, we didn't Pass clearence for mail this Jump, but I've Got Lined up some Passengers who are travelling to Saki, here is the List" 11 Low berth - 11k cr 3 Mid berth - 9kcr Banis, a Local Adventurer
3 High Berth - 18kcr Tomas, Dilentante
"Please make them Feel welcome aboard the Ship, be better reputation we have, the More High berths will want to travel with us"
"Excellent.. I'll have the papers Signed, and the Beam Vixen Will be Waiting on Dock 34, Getting Fueled up, and also a Fresh paint Job, I didn't Choose anything Flashy, just Standard White job w/ a red Stripe. It will Take a 2-3Hours to get the Fuel loaded, So Make any transactions you need to make, and report to the Ship. We'll Discuess cargo there, and get everyone Situated." A Few Hours goes By, and everyone meets at the Beam Vixen, Tara is Standing in the Cargo bay "Welcome aboard out new home! Here is the Cargo Shipping out today to Saki, the Next Closest Planet, We have 87 Tons of Free Cargo Space for this Trip, so lets get as much as we can Carry." 5T, Cows, 6kcr
"Due to the External nature of the fuel pod, it will not take up any cargo space. Typically pods are rented on a per Jump basis. Not without removing current tonnage from the Ship. IE cargo, low berths, or staterooms."
"The Beam Vixen has J1, Drive, so we can travel one parsec in about 1 week. Then we'd need to refuel for another jump. We could rent an external Fuel pod if we have to make two jumps with out a planet inbetween. Those run about 8k, 3k for the rental, and 5k for the fuel."
"The Last thing we need to look at is Weapons for the Ship, The Beam Vixen has 2 hard points for weapons. here is the Weapon Cost breakdown." Turrets
Weapon TL Tons Cost (MCr.)
TURRET WEAPONS
"the Standard array is 2 Triple Turrets, each with a Beam, Sandcaster, and Missle turret. This would run us 6 mill credits. So over all, after discounts, ship shares, and weapons, we're looking at 36.5 Mil Cr for the Beam Vixen With mantiance, Life support, and morage, we are looking at 177k Credits a month. We can pull that much Credits in about 1-2 hauls easy.. What say you gentlemen?"
"Greetings fellas' I know Alexandre has a Scout Ship. But its not really cut out for trading. So i stopped by the local Used shipyard, and they have four Used Free traders avab, although some are pretty beat-up. She hands over a Data pad with the ships listed..
"The Morgage on these Ships will Range between 115k-145k a Month +Life support and mantaince. Which would be about a weeks or so worth of work. If you want me to look for something Larger let me know."
