the only question left, is who to take along with her, there are three other slaves on the ship, only she knows how to pilot the ships inside, so she can only take one ship...

there are three ships:

- a small fighter ship, for two persons
- a small bomber, three people will fit in this one
- and a cargo ship, where she could put all the girls, but is weaponsless and slow...

the girls in the ship are also three:

- a catgirl in charge of the computer systems
- a small human in charge of the main ship defense systems
- and a sheepgirl medic

so the question is, what ship to take on who to save?

>>33116
I say take the cargo ship, just to save everyone.

You wouldn't want to be left behind if someone else was driving, would you?

Also find some pants!

>>33116
take the cargo ship. when you are shot out of the sky, curse your creator for making everyone cute enough to save.

Cargo. Shame on you for even asking. Always try to save everyone.

>>33116
Take the human in the fighter ship, then later, sexings.

take the bomber, dump the human girl

she looks pretty mean anyways

the pirates dont even attemp to stop jen, they want the big prize...

unfortunately for them, the engines blow them clear of the sky along with the main ship...

jen is free FREE! but know she doesnt know what to do... she has been a slave all her life...

>>33131
Get further acquainted with fellow former slaves. See if they have any plans worth going through with.

Who... did you save?

>>33131
Hey! No :3ing when you are killing people!

But... what to do? Aside from murder?

Well, you are in possession of a cargo ship. Do you have any money? Anything to sell for money? If so, buy some cargo, at a low price for the goods, and then sell them somewhere they go for more money.

Or... something else? I don't know. D:

Also, I forgot to point out, but we are already in the atmosphere of some planet the pig master came to make deals, like he used to do… (:3)… also, there is some cargo in the ship… it looks like laser weapons and assorted armor…

Do you have any? How much would the weaponry, etc sell for?

These are important things to know before you land yourself on a planet, as a bunch of escaped slaves.

Melanie finds the cargo ship logs, there says that each weapon box sells for about 1000C (there are 5 of them) and each armor box is 500C (also 5 of them)…

In non regulated planets, like these, if you have money or goods, you are ok, in regulated planets, we would be hunted and returned to a slavery institution or shoot dead on sight, depending on the government…

>>33174
7500, then....

How good are all of you with weaponry?

>>33176
No, only 6000. We should keep some weapons and armor for the girls, and I assume cracking open a crate of each would kill their total resale value.

We can safety say that we suck with weapons, none of us are military trained…

The cargo ship has a nuclear reactor, which means that it wont run out of fuel for about 20 years… but its very slow… and cannot exit planetary orbit…

Also, we could point, a little late …, that the ship cargo capacity would have allowed us to bring the fighter inside…

About money… I was bought for 100C… and this ship is probably worth 2500C new…
The weapons are banned from selling, since there are a lot of wars and the central government agency (CGA) is trying to limit the use of these in favor of other forms of conflict resolution… and that’s why they sell for a lot…

>>33184
>the ship cargo capacity would have allowed us to bring the fighter inside

Way 2 go

>>33184
sucking with weapons and having them is better than having nothing at all. besides, that's what practice is for.

>>33184
Well, if you are so cheap, would it be possible to officially buy your freedom?

You must use the proceeds of the sales to purchase a locally produced commodity and supplies sufficient to transport you and that commodity to a remote population center willing to buy those goods at a premium.

I would suggest setting some budget aside for pants, but on further consideration I really dig the uniform you guys have going there.

I would suggest selling everything and buying a spacefaring ship.

I'm sure whatever hyperdrives you have available would be very expensive, but then again for a small ship there might be an economy option...

About the freedom… I think it was quite expensive to obtain it… I had to murder (bad) people for it…
But no, I cant buy my freedom, cutebolds, halfbolds, catfolk, sheepfolk, and generally any “lesser race” becomes automatically slave, I guess Lisa could buy her freedom thought…

About the fighter ship… everything was going so fast.,.. I forgot… (you could have remembered me, voices in my head…)

Also, these clothes are my old (pig) owner fetish… and I would like to get them out as fast as I can…

Bam.

Then get out of them, already! It's all girls here, after all!
:3c

well okay, I suppose you can get some pants then. You are all adorable enough I bet you would look good in a lot of things.

You use the same word to describe your former master with such consistency, I must ask: was he in fact a literal pig, half or otherwise?

Learn to use the weapons. Form a militant lesbian biker gang.

After a while of armor choosing and weapon practice, everyone picks what they want and hide the rest on the ships bridge, we made some holes in the hull too, but nothing too serious…

When we were close to the town, we received a transmition, a hooded figure in the monitor,…

He asks us: “welcome travelers, are you here to shop or to sell?”

"...Yes?"

“of course it can be both, but we need to know to tell you where to land, don’t we? Hehehe…

So, lets take care of the selling first, what do you want to sell little one?”

Can we get a quick estimate on just how "banned" selling weapons is on a world such as this one?

>>33396
officially, selling weapons is banned everywhere, and the sole suspicion of selling results in immediate death sentence, the CGA is zealous about that…

…on the other hand this planet is not totally under the control of the CGA… and laws here are not enforced much… unless you see a CGA ship around… then you better behave…

(and there are not ships around apparently…)

>>33396
Eh, this guy looks appropriately shady that he really shouldn't care about the weapons being banned unless they are 'THESE ITEMS ARE BANNED PAY WITH YOUR LIFE'

So lets tell him we are willing to sell the ship and the armaments/gear that we haven't appropriated for ourself.

Then for buy, we need some sort of reasonably fast and well-armed vessel that could house the four of us with room for cargo (not as much as the cargo shuttle had though).

Yeh, we want to downgrade our ship for a profit.

>>33408
Well, downgrade the SIZE, sure.

But we have been running around in a cargo ship. If we can, we should really get a replacement ship that can make things explode, one way or another.

“STICKS! Yes, yes we buy and sell STICKS!... damn kid… land in the landing pad 34, I’m sending the coordinates to your ship…”

OKAY.

STICKS = BANNED ARMAMENTS

Lets remember that, and act accordingly.

>>33396
...you know, the whole point of this question was to determine how roundabout we needed to be when approaching the topic of selling this stuff off. But if that approach works, so be it.

I don't think selling off the ship is going to be such a great idea if we are planning to buy another one. Dealers need to make a profit off of customers, so anything we buy is going to have lower net worth. We would probably be better off adding some defenses and/or better engines to what we have now, at least in the short term.

The landing was fine, even when this was my first time landing a ship this size…

The smuggler, merchant, rat person was waiting with two robots by in each side… after some far away greetings, they checked the ammo while the girls waited patiently behind me, with the guns, for if we have to defend ourselves…

After the check was complete, the rat person spoke again: “good, all the cargo checks up, we had to make sure, now lets talk about money little one… lets see… I’ll give you 250C for each crate of weapons and 150C for the armor ones… and if you still wanna sell the ship, I’ll take this, old, but functional beauty for 500C, what a good deal, isn’t it? ehehe”

>>33452
Well, selling the weaponry at all is a good thing, so I'd accet these prices. After all, nothing but profit.

What is the general price of living?

Better to haggle a bit. If the suggested price is 4 times that let's at least try to get near it.

>>33455
>Well, selling the weaponry at all is a good thing,
How exactly?

>>33458
Because it's hot merchandise! The further from our hands it is, the better.

>>33452
At least put in an attempt to bargain him up, I mean they are worth significantly more than that. Don't try too hard, just enough that you establish you know full well what kind of deal he is getting. And only sell the cargo ship if he has (or knows someone who has) a four person live in vessel with room for limited cargo and some defensive capabilities. Ideally, we get one of those, then with a mechanic, gunner, medic and tech officer on board, we just go about pillaging shit and making money while doing what we are all good at.

>>33452
"250? 150? You're busting my balls, bro. You're busting my balls.
How about <INSERT BETTER PRICES HERE>?"

Don't sell the ship.
>>You must use the proceeds of the sales to purchase a locally produced commodity and supplies sufficient to transport you and that commodity to a remote population center willing to buy those goods at a premium.
We have a job now.

Tell the guy we know damn well how much he is trying to rip us off. We can always hold onto the stuff until he is more reasonable. Tear off the labels from the crates and beat the shit out of them to make them look old. Nothing suspicious about a few old boxes in the back of a cargo ship.

What are prosthesis like nowadays? We may eventually be able to replace Lisa's eye and tongue.

You know this is a cargo ship, right? We can make good money transporting goods in this thing. Forget selling it. Lets become rogue traders.

“no, no, that Price is not good at all…”

I try to look like I have done this many times… but I don’t know… really, how much should I ask?

Double? [500/250]
The original price? [1000/500]
Twice the original? [2000/1000]

About the ship, and becoming traders… one, this ship cannot travel to another planets, we could not be able to sell on regulated planets, and if a big CGA ship find us and they scan the ship, it wont matter how we disguise the weapons, they will still know…
Medicine on unregulated planets is bad at best, they could put a robotic eye on her I guess… but it will look awful…

>>33557
I'd ask for 2/3rds the actual value.

[750/300]

This way you are assured to haggle down to at least half, or slightly below.

>>33557
Twice their suggestion.

As for the eye? Ask her first. It might not be worth it to her, and, besides, she looks good with a 'patch.

250? What kind of new-born bold you take me for?! I can assure you, these are the best sticks this side of the ionosphere... and they wheren't easy to get here either.

Normally I'd sell 'em for 2000, but you know, I like you. You remind me of me. 1000 for the sticks, 500 for the clothes... as low as I'll go, I've got crew to feed.

>>33557
If you are unskilled at haggling, you are not going to be able to get a great price out of this guy no matter what you say. It's the man's(?) job, after all. Assuming the "original price" is what it would cost to buy these things for personal use, (i.e. not the wholesale value) it's not a bad place to start. Let him know that YOU know what they are worth on the market, and he is going to have to do better than that if he wants them.

Our goal here is going to be wholesale price. Start with 1000/500. Settle for no less than half the open market value, 75% of open market is a pretty good deal.

Ask for the original price. Haggle to around 750/375 each. The original price assumed a ready buyer. Just trying to fence goods never works out like that. Sell four boxes of each and keep the rest tucked away somewhere for emergencies.

Also put on some pants and a coat. No one will ever take you seriously like this. Ever.

>>33573
> keep the rest tucked away somewhere for emergencies.

Part of the idea behind selling this stuff off is so we don't get CAUGHT with boxes contraband while we lack the ability to fight or run.

In fact, you know what? I'm not even in that big of a hurry. If you're not going to play seriously, you can just forget it, ok?

800/400 You know that stuff like this can be sold to the right buyer for GREAT profits for you. You may have to tighten the belt a bit to afford them, but you will make it back se veral times over in the near future.

Ask him how much a new ship will cost.
Then buy him for 20C.

Its more cost effective to keep our current ship, i believe. As long as we have a good enough engineer to keep us flying. How you feeling Jen? Think you can do it, or should we swap out for something easier?

Lets definitely buy that shopbot and a workshop. That closet as well. It could be usefull for disguises and things.

Ask about other slaves. Maybe we can free some more people while we're here.

and um. parts. We'll need a variety of parts to assemble/fix just about anything we may ever need.

Good gravy buy the robot and fix his vocal processors. Just not having to parse through what he is trying to say for the rest of this conversation is worth 20C.

I too like the sound of the closet. Reserving judgment on ships till we can see some prices and what is available.

“but if <new master::comment::wise and pretty > allows this poor shopbot01221s*d-sad, bot to make a suggestion… there is a hull of a imperial MNCROME ramship for sell for 1000C it lacks the two generators it needs and its empty inside… you could… sid dis dsi disband <your ship> to use its engine…and boy the other engine for 500C… ” *clang* “there are morrrrre ship hulls being sold… if you li like the ideeeeaaa”

As long as it has room for trading and living in, we like the sound of it.

And Now, a little Story…

Before the great war, the CGA (Central Government Agency), was just a little empire in the center of the galaxy, it was pacific and for this, all the other empires used it as neutral ground to discuss and pact…
… war was a common and in the borders of each empire skirmishes were fought everyday, until one of these conflicts escalated to a full scale war between the MNCROME empire and the SPECTRUM empire, the MNCROME had the upper hand due to rich metal deposit and superior spaceships, so the SPECTRUM decided to use a terrible invention… in a coordinated strike, massively armored ships gated in each of the systems controlled by the MNCROME and collided with the stars that sustained each of them, bombs installed inside each ship were designed to destabilize the stars and make them explode, the strike was a success and the once powerful MNCROME empire was reduced to lifeless asteroid fields…

It was then when the CGA pushed to stop war and to form a regulator army that could interfere in these conflicts, each empire sent veteran warriors to form this CGA army, and so the Veteran Government Agency (VGA) was born, what the other empires didn’t expected was the total brainwash of the people they sent, the CGA grew in power and became the only ruling empire in the galaxy, they expanded the are a they controlled and created the EGA (External Government Agency) out of the rest of the empires (Adlib, Gravis, Spectrum, and a multitude of smaller ones)

How would Spectrum or Gravis treat escaped slaves?

The tech level is very advanced, personal shields are common, laser and plasma weapons are the most used, warfare is mostly done in space with large capital ships, planet defense forces are allowed to have weapons, warp gates and jump technology is available for armies, while normal ships have sub-light and sub-space engines.

Humans are the most extended race, followed by Adlib’s elves and Gravis Dwarves, by CGA orders, anything else is a slave…

Repair finished, we don’t have enough materials to add arms yet, but maybe later…

Should we buy the ship hull and engine? Or look for something else? Maybe another hull?

>>33838

Buy some ultra clothes.

I would think looking into hull prices, armaments to add to your new rig, and some more armor if possible. Never hurts to stay safe.

>>33838

D'awww, the bot is smiling. <3

Weld some Kamina shades on that robot.

How about paying for some surgery for Lisa to replace the eye and tongue? Otherwise, I recommend going with the robot's suggestion about the ramship hull.

Lets worry about finding a ship first…
According to happybot, there are 3 hulls that doesn’t require too much work to be up and running
Ram ship (MNCROME) [1000C + 500C extra engine]
A Combat Frigate(ADLIB)[3000C + 1500C extra engines], this ship is build around a low firing speed high energy laser, almost no cargo space…
And a Miner Ship (GRAVIS)[2000C + 1500C extra engines], lots of cargo space + small construction facility

>>33838
reiterate previous statements about the desirability of anything called a ramship. You don't GET better armor in a small package.

I would choose the Gravis Miner.

Because I am a freak for Mining and also constructing of things.

>>33849

I think we should take the miner ship. Anyone who has played EVE Online knows that the trick to success is in commerce.

Alright, never mind the ramship. Get the mining craft, find an asteroid field, get rich. Additionally, the construction facility will give Jen something to do when the ship itself does not require maintenance.

>>33852
>>33853
>>33856
guys guys guys guys

mining ships get RAIDED. we'll need an escort if we want to do that- I suggest if we get the mining ship, we also attempt to either A. hire someone or B. arm it.

>>33858

With the right weapons, raiders can go from dangerous to a lovely source of salvageable resources.

Regarding Raiders - If the crew dislikes fighting, I bet Jen could whip up some kind of automated sentry guns with the weaponry they kept and some spare parts.

>>33865
combine this with this
>>33862

and I support the mining ship 100%. however, if she CAN'T make sentries, we got a problem I think

What are you guys? Stupid?
We are designated as a race of slaves in the whole chartered galaxy and the only person wich is not does not want to be our holder!
Get the frigate and become mercenarys! Mercs at least do not get pressed into slave labor!

But.. but... starting a mining operation is not how you have an exciting game of Traveler. You have to like, go places and see stuff. Sitting around waiting for excitement to come find your asteroid mining operation out in space is an exercise in defend-the-castle and one-mistake-and-we-all-die adventuring.

I'd prefer the ramship, but mostly I vote anything BUT the mining hull.

I think the idea is to use mining as a temporary measure until Jen and company figure out what they want to do. Flying around at random doesn't earn credits or put food on the table, after all.

And it's safer than going mercenary. These ladies have given no indication that they possess military training

>>33877
Not flying around randomly, flying around delivering trade goods, passengers, possibly smuggling, possibly doing side quests when we land. Adventure!

I suppose one of the reasons I like the ramship is that it was described as an empty hull we could build up into anything we needed. If this is also true of the mining ship, I maybe don't hate it so much, but it is STILL less armored and a much bigger dent in our funds.

Ship comparation drawn by eri… (>_>;)

I assume the order is current, ram, mining, frigate? (labels are nice)

>>33886
yes yes... silly eri... *she* forgot...

>>33871

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.

File 125115165541.jpg - (35.85KB , 403x325 , jenquest_029.jpg )

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!
