Asides and Public Discussion about the game (Part 1)

[Stirling]

I think that Rigsby & Sood are the official legal team for the shareholders. They arranged the first hotel meeting.

The Sood of R&S is not the same Sood who owns shares in the Queen.

I felt initially the award was fine but then being charged for 'salvage and storage' which took all but 1,000cr was another legal challenge that should be initiated.

[The Bindoner]

Yes, charging a fee for storage in which the vessel was damaged by a series of unrestricted criminal activities is open to challenge I would think.

[BackworldTraveller]

Reven, holds Mr Soods proxy and recieved updates from him during the hearing at court.

[Stirling]

Rigsby and Sood are attorneys that brought the case that has forced the Navy to capitulate

Marcus is the owner of the shares...His Uncle is a Lawyer!

Think any action taken against the police conduct at the Queen and furthering legal claims for damages to the ship and loss of stock should be something we do as a collective of shareholders and not just a personal claim from those on board at the time of inspection.

Can R&S also confirm the unfreezing of QoTB accounts and assets by the time of the next shareholders meeting so that we can budget effectively prior to any ongoing award challenges.

XO's on it, we have north of 125K in the bank designated for the Queen.

Assuming crew staterooms are...

• Captains, Crew 1, Crew 2
• Crew 5, Crew 4, Crew 3

per floorplan in the Queen of the Belt Thread

Which rooms have Pranit and Reven set up in?

And has someone bought some clean bed-linen?

So I will just randomly pick room 5, and I though of it, but Pranit will just turn the heat up a hair and change into clean unders and pull a coat over him for the first night, which is suppose to be rough, right.

[BackworldTraveller]

Definitely not going to get much of a competition for that one...ex Dead body and no door!

[cybersavant]

Reven Stiilpahth room 4

are the rooms double bunks?

[BackworldTraveller]

All crew rooms could sleep 2.

[joertexas]

All crew rooms could sleep 2.

In indrani's case, they'd have to be on friendly terms...

[The Bindoner]

Just spotted the new "chapter 4.5" thread.

Nālani seems to be operating in two timelines at present. She has arrived at the ship with Arnwulf in time for the meeting, and she is talking with Assana in the restaurant before leaving.

I'm happy to continue posting in the two times , or I can wait until we finish the Assana conversation.

Just thought I ought to check before jumping into the new thread.

I think it'd be good to wrap up the other threads before we start the meeting.

[cybersavant]

The crew regulations are simple - You must have a registered Captain, a qualified Pilot, a qualified Astrogator and a qualified Engineer. They could all be the same person.

One person should be the designated Bridge Officer at all times the ship is in free space - but there is no regulation that says they have to be awake - just on call to respond within 60 seconds of an alarm being sounded!

The ship, however, must be insured for injury to passengers should it carry any, and if it has employees must have insurance against claims by them too.

So, any minimum skills ranks to qualify? Or choose who has the highest in each specialty?

[Stirling]

In my private forum discussions I raised this as a question or scenario which probably relates to any financial planning.

Great. Certainly think sorting out finances and budgeting, investing, trading will be big issues.

I was trying to think what would be a reasonable investors expectation. So I figured my 25% share 12/48th would normally be valued at $12Mcr.

So in a trading year, that investment should dividend around 5% value, so $600,000cr, equivalent to $50k cr per share.

So to (give or take a %), one would expect the ship to make annualised profits of upward $2.4 million in dividend payments to share holders and generate another $2M to compensate for yearly costs on the Queen such as insurance, fuel, security and armaments, mechanical, engineering and sensor updates, crew wages and crew incentive bonus.

That is equal to trading a weekly profit of circa $100kcr.

Of course much easier if all the shares are held by the crew who live and work on the ship. So the 'demand for substantial profit' could be less.

It would also be the duty of the shareholders to raise finances and purchase, amend the capital assets on the ship.

[The Bindoner]

Is the Life Support system on the Queen running well enough to recharge a Vac Suit with clean air?

[BackworldTraveller]

Air and Heat are fine...No fresh water, sullage or sewerage until Reven finishes his clean up and checks.

Power is fine if using the starboard power distribution system; dead if using the port. Major systems use both/either. Domestic uses one or the other. So all the port side cabins have no power (lights, sockets).

You still have no fuel so you are dead if you have to undock. But then again, no one has checked the fuel tankage yet either. Or the Laser Turret (from inside). Or the inside of the workshop (for obvious reasons).

[cybersavant]

I don't mind 'hand waving' Arnwulf to stay on the ship and address issues in turn as we are able. It seems the craft won't be 'shipshape' and ready to fly for a week. So as a suggestion he says why don't we take one level each day and tackle the major concerns on that level. So engineering and manoeuvre one day, hangar next, cargo, etc.

Reven needs to be in meetings, and see the workshop

[BackworldTraveller]

Pranit will pay the bill off the Queens account, and help finish up the check and revamp of the water, silage and sewer lines, contact port for services and test them before knock off at 6pm.

I nominate this for "Best Typo to date".

When will the animals be coming aboard?

Thank you, thank you. <Bow>
