That's a cool idea!

I'm wondering how we can use this as an opportunity to allow newer PCs to buy-in at a business level. I guess it depends on how much we get from pay/shares this time.

Unless...

Unless, indeed...

As a lot of running costs are being dealt with in abstract please assume the 5MCr payable for the Ticket is pure profit for SEMC.

This profit can be carved up among the officers, split as a bonus as per shares amongst the entire unit, funnelled off into Frank's secret account, re-invested, etc.

So on top of this everyone still gets paid at their going rate and all running costs are met.

I'm thinking some of that should be divvied out as extra shares to the troops.

If we've got Styx and Lethe as two of our grav vehicles maybe we should keep with the Greek theme.

I think it was more in keeping a "sexy associate" theme...

Hmm, you can chose who gets to be the Fat Trader and who's the corvette, I'm not touching that one.

Ooh, Ooh, the corvette has to be called Tourmaline, or perhaps The Morrigan, if that's not going to insult someones religion.

Wouldn't bother me.

I would strongly suggest the fat trader not be named anything close to "Miss Liv", unless you want to be surprised by that enemy assault division we "didn't have intel on".

I like this version better - sadly, the singer and two of the other cast members are gone now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEVaxtC430M

I didn't follow Glee overmuch but for a "light entertainment show" it seemed to suffer some terribly unfortunate and undeserved "the Scottish play" curse...

The show itself wasn't all that, but some of their covers were really good, IMO.

Now, The Morrigan's kinda cool - didn't see that one coming!

Just don't leave the signwriting to the sidekicks (see the Reg plates for the G Carriers)...

You never know - the lady with the apparently* horrendous anger management issues might yet see the funny side of her name on the "Tubby Trader" (oh, and it alliterates!)... or... no, wait...

DO we have an accounting of shares ownership, or are we assuming that everyone has an equal share?

Everyone does not have an equal share, I have zero.

There's a hierarchy of shares by rank in BK 4: Mercenary (pg 19) if you want to go that route - or any other system is useable!

We've used the rank based shares, but Jess and Prerna's get a bonus so they get the same as Frank.

We sorted through this after the last gig. If I have time later, I'll look it up, but Shaidar has the TL:DR of it.
