Technically.

However, I think the upgrade would make you an "Interstellar Capable PMC" which is much scarier than a Starmerc per se which I understand to be merely a sort of "privateer for hire" and would surely involve lace and a tricorn hat.

So you are really something much more militarily desirable like mounted longbowmen (paid top dollar) or the Australian Light Horse - capable of charging defences and then getting off and bayoneting the occupants.

And a bustier and high leather boots, too? Imagine Prerna in that :shock:

I figure we will be just tough enough to get dropped in some really deep... errr... stuff.

The idea is to separate (off-screen) the merchanting from the shooting bad people; never mix business with pleasure.

Eventually. For now, just a prize crew to Jump them to Collace. Pilot/Navigator, Engineer, a PC and a few troopers for security....

We might need to offer deals to "ex"-pirates

Well, I surely didn't demand any and therefore if any should "happen" I must surely remain (primly) blameless... ;) :D

As it goes Erica's appearance is based on a character/actress from the Black Sails pirate show which I would recommend to all but I do also advise watching whilst wearing an eye patch - both to get into character... and to save the sight in at least one eye... :oops: ;) :SAN:

Huey, Duey and Louie?

Chico, Harpo, Groucho?

Oh - Serious suggestions only...Never mind

Yes, they are the "very basic" Dragonfly type armed with missiles (three on a rack) and are perhaps better "scouts/piquets" than they are "fighters". Another use for them is as a "flying battery" / ortillery.

I'll declare you have "salvaged" a flight of three.

NB This is an "aggragated" number as although there may have been more you might have to sell one to generate a few MCr and/or use one for spares. If you recall one was being worked on when captured.

This will expand the SEMC flotilla to: Corvette (with Launch), 400t Trader with Three Fighters plus the Gunship.
