Question about crews

So yeah, I'm not entirely sure how many crew members I should have on my ship. I have the MTR-82 Spacehawk, so how many other crew members would my character need to have on the ship to pilot it safely/effectively? Sorry if I missed something and am being an ignorant fool right now Smile. Peace all.

RE: Question about crews

There I go again thinking I wrote something on the site and I didn't. XD

The MTR-82 can be easily piloted and maintained by one person, but the crew quarters supports up to four. It's basically a box truck, with cab up front and a big box in the back to put stuff in.

RE: Question about crews

Hey, another question about ships and stuff; How much do the ships cost? And how would I go about eventually getting a bigger/better ship? Oh, and to those who are in the know, how do we calculate distance from planet to planet? I.e., how long would it take to get from Perranor to Wist for example? Smile Thanks for your time all and sorry if I'm asking too many questions Blink

RE: Question about crews

Don't worry, you're not asking too many questions. This is all stuff I should have on the site anyway.

Eventually I'll get around to putting prices on the ships. I'll make a sticky post about it when I do. To get a ship, you can either make an RP post in which you go to a dealership, or just send me a PM with what you want.

Travel time between planets is a bigger problem that I never even thought of. Whenever I wrote about it I just guesstimated. XD
I should definitely make a map of the galaxy. For now, I'll just say that the travel time from Perrenor to Wist in an MTR-82 Spacehawk with stock hyperdrive would take about 18 hours, give or take.

RE: Question about crews

Ahhh, well okie-day then. So I suppose I'll need to write into my thread that whoever put my ship in motion was an idiot and didn't use the hyperdrive... Considering that I said it was forty seven hours into the trip when I started it Blah. A'ight man thanks alot!

RE: Question about crews

To keep the RP in motion, even lower-end hyperdrives are incredibly fast. However, every few hours, a ship needs to drop out of hyperspace so the hyperdrive can cool down, which would add a few more hours to the trip. Wist is about six lightyears away from Perrenor. You'd have a heck of a long trip ahead of you without a hyperdrive. XD

RE: Question about crews

Hey there Alex, good to meet ya. For purchasing new ships and such, I would suppose in RP you would go to a dealership. You could make up your own NPC-run dealership, or go to any player-run dealership. The only player-run one though is mine I think. And since ships would obviously be outrageously expensive, think of it as buying a car. You can trade-in an old one, do financing, etc. And you could make up your own ship if you wanted, you don't have to follow by the pre-made ships.

RE: Question about crews

Good to meet you as well Sam, thanks for the advice Smile. I think I'll do some more quests and missions for now, and buy a nicer ship later though. Where's your dealership located? Peace man later.

RE: Question about crews

It's on Flistna. And don't worry, I won't actually be getting your money if you choose to buy one. Since ships cost a lot, it'd be kind of unfair if I gain tons of money over a sale. Instead, in an RP fashion, the money made goes towards bills, employee pay, and restock.
