Okay. I designate my vote over to the ram-ship.

>>33889
Agreed the firgite and mining ship are good, but they may attract unwanted attention from pirates and other bad guys.

>>33891

If pirates pick up a ship on their scanners, they're probably gonna raid it regardless of what it is, barring capital ships and battlecruisers.

>>33895
not if they plan to be pirates for very long. Pirates are all about the risk/reward ratio, not rampant mindless violence.

>>33885
I vote the Frigate.
It doesn't cost 3/4 of our money like the mining ship, and it has amenities, unlike the ramship.
The ship should do for a few trips and raising money; we don't need to leave the planet yet.
Once we have enough money, it should be a simple task to purchase multiple ships.

Voltron-style sheinanigans may come later.

Unrelatedly, Jen is stated to be a halfbold. What is the other half?

>>33885
Given that we have extremely limited combat experience, but require money to survive, our income will probably almost entirely consist of finding things to sell. Therefore, cargo space is a must.

After that, I would agree with the theme of choosing whichever one is likely to draw the least attention.

Mining ship.

mining ship. we're likely to be in for the long haul, so we should take the ship for long hauls. with a construction facility and lots of space, we can produce goods.
any fight we'd be getting in would be a losing fight, regardless. our goal should be leaving the CGA controlled space.

Mining ship. Don't discount the usefulness of construction capability, and mining equipment is often usable as weaponry.

Mining ship. Get rich, build warships, free slaves.

Maaan, just when the not-mining-ship options were building some support. Why do the mining ship votes have to come in large, will destroying batches... all within 15 minutes of eachother... many with little supporting argument provided... *eyes*

>>33906
Mining ship. Just to bug you.

=P

>>33906
Mining ship!

>>33885
I would say mining ship, so long as it is one of the heavy duty ones that can mine asteroids during meteor showers and shit, which I would imagine it is, since it doesn't have any unnecessary exposed parts.

A big, durable warehouse/workshop/home/mining/salvaging vessel is pretty much the most useful thing to possibly have right now.

But mining is BOOORING! *whine whine whine*

Don't you guys wanna have an ADVENTURE?

>>33906
we want mining ships because we just played homeworld.

though why don't we keep a ramship in the mining ship one day?

>>33911
But we will! Especially if we can use the mining tools in close ship combat.

>>33913
>>33911
well, actually, I suppose a ramship would be good too, and I would enjoy the quest either way. so my vote goes to whoever has less votes at the moment, currently being the ramship.

The Mining Ship it is!
[1280C remaining]
After you buy it and the engines arrive you have a new ship to call home, according to the ex-owner, there are some space spores inside, but nothing of a problem, the computer on the construction area has these schematics ready for building when you have the material:

[miner drone, combat drone, guard robot, long range scout]

The living quarters are huge and can carry up to 100 people, the ship has sub-space travel, but you cannot use that inside the asteroids here…

The only warning that he gives you is to not try to mine asteroids that are being already mined… unless you have a clocking device… which by casualty he also sells [700C]

There are also schematics for sale for different types of things you can build…

Now, what should we buy?

>>33916
Lets see which schematics are for sale and for how much first.

>>33916
Buy cloaking device.

Start buying slaves. We'll save as many of them as possible now that we have room.

>>33916
I think we should get the clocking device (but try to bargian him to a lower price) because being able to earn money mining will give us a return on our investment.

so... I say we use this mining ship for large scale gunrunning. anybody agree?

>>33916
Blast! if only I had not done such a good job giving haggling advice earlier.

>>33916
Lets see what kind of schematics are offered before deciding on the cloaking device.

We are looking for both external ship armaments and internal sentry turret style defensive measures (flamethrower ones might be fairly easy to make, and could be mounted around all the doors as a strong first line of defense[could even rig them to draw from ship fuel to make them more autonomous]). Lets also ask if they have designs for superior/wider application fabrication devices, with promises to sell a large deal of new constructs to him at low rates? Guaranteed good deals are always a plus to a merchant.

There are various fighters and escort ships, both manned and unmanned, ranging form [50C] the most basic to [1000C] a medium fighter
There are various ship weapons small lasers [300C] missile [500C] and cannon [400C]
Remember that these are just the schemes, we need material to build them…

Slaves are cheap… and mostly depend on what they can do… but what is most important now is to get food!

We can either buy a hydrofarm, for [100C], but we will need lots of people running it…
Or a automated farm, for [300C]

I got the price of the cloak device down to [400C] because the ship has to be almost stopped for it to work and any military ship sensors will see us as clear as day… :/

>>33957
What do space spores do? Kill things?

You should probably destroy them all with your "sticks" before they become a problem.

Also buying slaves means that they will be treated much more nicely by you than whoever they would otherwise have been purchased by, so it's not a bad idea entirely.

Lets buy a regular farm, then get 200C worth of slaves to operate it. We'll find slaves who are the most abused and mistreated and we shall buy them and they shall become members of our crew.

If this means they're all super-cute girls, then so be it.

>>33957
Get the cloaking device and automated hydro farm, its not like we are going to be starting a war or anything, and besides right now we can get weapons after we have earned money from mining.

Assumming we got the schematics for weapons, could we add them to this ship? If so i'd say grab lasers of the best kind you can afford, i'd guess they'll have less ammo problems than the rest.

get the automanted one, I say. maybe some slaves, to make it an even 500.

>>33973
get the slaves, but don't treat them as such offer them pay and tell them they can leave if they want too.

Space spores just rest in places until they find some food, then they use it to create more space spores, and repeat… they are not harmful…

This ship has several weapon mount points, and automated robots can install weapons if we have them, they are controlled from the bridge, and we have a weapon system operator :3

So, we buy the cloak device, the auto-farm and 200C worth of slaves…

We still have 380C

Ice cream all around!

>>33980
even for the slaves we might want to save whatever left over credits we have for later.

Become smugglers
Join the Rebellion and become best friends with a Jedi

Laser schematic for ship.

Then leave with remaining 80C

The Ship is ready, the ex-slaves are inside and briefed, thought they don’t believe they aren’t slaves anymore…

With a change of clothing and the hope of a new beginning, the group readies for a new adventure, in outer space!

Jen Quest: chapter 1 – END~

>>33991
ADVENTURE!!!!!

GODDAMNIT






DID WE BUY GAS

Jen needs to paint the mining ship so it looks like a Bullet Bill.

The mining ship reminds me of the Bentusi cargo barge.

>>34002
the ship runs on 4 nuclear generators, they will last for 20 years more or less...

>>33988
We can't be Han Solo, we bought the wrong ship ;_;

we would need a medium freighter and plenty of money for engines.

Or hybrid?

Teeth. If it ends up having arms at some point it will be because Jen attaches a pair to the spaceship.

Because tractor beams are for pussies.

>>34078
We are going to end up Orking the shit out of that mining ship, aren't we?
