Good call on the vehicles.

I think we might need two or three: grav bikes/belts for surveillance and mobility, a (vacc proofed???) air/raft "runabout" and a "van" / paramilitary G Carrier for raids and prisoner escort/extraction.

That might make a hole in our 25 MCr...

...but not if we get Roscoe to load up Broker 7 and play the stock markets on our behalf... ;)

3. Vacc suits all around, exercise equipment, skill/characteristic packages purchased. Weapons I'll leave to the more gun-bunny-ish of our team. ;)

4. "No ship vehicles?" I ask with much greed and entitlement! We need an air/raft or ATV to get around with.

5. Did I hear we have also have CR25,000,000 in our bank account? And maintenance costs are CR95,000 a month? That means we could sit around and do next to nothing for 20 years and then turn over the ship back over to the Navy...not that any of us would want to do that. :)
Aw, and I was going to vote for you as the leader. ;)

I agree about the vehicles. Trading is also a good cover and a cover we should cultivate, I think. It's better to not be too open about this ship and it's occupants (not crew after all) being in the Bounty game, better to let that come as a surprise to any Marks we go after.

BTW, Spicoli really does want a private word with Walter, Silencer and Jaelah and by private he is going to mean somewhere well away from the ship. :)

The grav bikes in the Bounty Hunter book look pretty cool.

You guys will have to start scouring the core rulebook, the supply catalog, the Specialist Forces book, and the Bounty Hunter book, and the others I have in the google drive. That might eat into the cash reserve. ;)

Roscoe has been the one setting up contacts to purchase things for the ship. He might know more about the process and even have some places already set up to work with the ship that could provide some or all of what you are looking for.

Not to completely change the subject, but...

Just what year is this, and what Traveller Timeline are we playing in? Is Stephron the Emperor? Has Duke Dulinor arrived on Capital for the conference yet? What is Prince Lucan doing these days? Has anyone visited Cymbeline recently?

It is 1105-001. Holiday! Stephron is the emperor. I'm sure none of that civil war/virus nonsense will happen. Just be happy!

Joking aside, I was never a fan of the virus events. They will not be happening in my timeline. Civil war? Well, who knows but you've got some time before that might happen.
