May 616 - Eslandola's Escorted Trade Runs

[Kai NRG]

To the Worthy Citizens of Eslandola,

This month the Secretary of State has drafted two routes. These are open first of all to any Eslandian citizen. If after the 25th of March there is still room available, citizens of the other nations may apply as well. Sea Rats will need a note of legitimacy from a respected authority. (How do you get that? I have no idea. If you're interested, you might want to get the letter ready before the 25th, so you can be first in line.)

Slots are granted on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Dragon's Teeth: High Risk. Escorted by the Dread Treasure, Gallant, and El Toro Bravo (@Faladrin). For two (2) speed ships. Ten slots available.

• La Transferrata, @TitusV - Flotilla A
  
• Fenix Rising, @Phadeout - Flotilla A
  
• Banana Boat, @Captain Braunsfeld - Flotilla A
  
• Aurei Lacerta, @Umbra-Manis - Flotilla B
  
• Cotton Lady, @Elostirion - Flotilla B
  
• The Golden Snake, @Kai NRG - Flotilla B
  
• Arkady, @TitusV - Flotilla C
  
• Winds Beauty, @Legostone - Flotilla C
  

Double Duty: Medium Risk. Escorted by the Dark Lightning, Blessed Angel, and Dragon's Revenge (@TitusV). For three (3) speed ships. Ten slots available.

• Prince Fernando, MCTC - Flotilla A
  
• Wringe II, @Legostone - Flotilla A
  
• Far Horizon, @Capt Wolf - Flotilla A
  
• Silver Scythe, @Sir Stig - Flotilla B
  
• Raenette, @Faladrin - Flotilla B
  
• Prince of Stedor, @Maxim I - Flotilla B
  
• Pride of Elysabethtown, @Legostone - Flotilla C

> How do I participate? Sign up in this thread for a slot on the run of your choice. Post a link to your build and be sure to specify what type of license you have. If you haven't done it already, fill out the ship license form.

Then just follow the directions on the MRCA form and you'll be ready to go!

Important! Eslandola provides escorts but does not guarantee safety!

The Dark Narwhal (a Class 2A) wishes to join the Clouding Blues route. Dearji the Windsong won't be along on this trip, but High Priestess Ylsbeth the Starcatcher is willing to bless all ships for this run.

[TitusV]

The Arkady (2F) signs up for the double duty

Can La Transferata (1T) join the dragon's teeth?

[Phadeout]

Fenix rising will sign up for the dragon's teeth again.

[Captain Braunsfeld]

The Banana Boat will sign up for the Dragon's Teeth!

[Umbra-Manis]

The Aurei Lacerta will join the dragon's teeth again!

[Elostirion]

The Cotton Lady for Dragon's Teeth once more.

[Legostone]

The Wringe II joins Double Duty.

The Winds Beauty joins Clouding Blues.

@Titus: Isn't the Arkady a 2WR? It is only a speed 2, so it would fit better into one of the speed 2 convoys. The Transferata (1T) would fit well into both of those too.

[Kai NRG]

...Can La Transferata (1T) join the dragon's teeth?

As long as it is capable of visiting 2 ports (which I think it should be?).

The Dark Narwhal (a Class 2A) wishes to join the Clouding Blues route. Dearji the Windsong won't be along on this trip, but High Priestess Ylsbeth the Starcatcher is willing to bless all ships for this run.

Is the Dark Narwhal a warship? If so, there's no point sending it on a trading run; it doesn't have cargo space. Send me a PM and I'll let you know what sort of potentially profitable options the crown suggests for warships, if you're interested.

...@Titus: Isn't the Arkady a 2WR? It is only a speed 2, so it would fit better into one of the speed 2 convoys. The Transferata (1T) would fit well into both of those too.

If that's the case, Titus, it certainly needs to be switched.

The Golden Snake will sail on Dragon's Teeth.

The Prince Fernando (MCTC) will sail on Double Duty.

[TitusV]

The Wringe II joins Double Duty.

The Winds Beauty joins Clouding Blues.

@Titus: Isn't the Arkady a 2WR? It is only a speed 2, so it would fit better into one of the speed 2 convoys. The Transferata (1T) would fit well into both of those too.

Ow, your rigth! I'm sorry, my bad.

In that case, I'll sent her on the Dragon's Teeth

[gedren_y]

I have been convinced to withdraw the Dark Narwhal from the Clouding Blues trade run. High Priestess Ylsbeth the Starcatcher is still willing to offer her blessings.

[Capt Wolf]

The Far Horizon (4T2) will sign up for the Double Duty run.

[Captain Braunsfeld]

Help! The MRCA form is closed/not working!

[Kai NRG]

Help! The MRCA form is closed/not working!

It needs a few tweaks, but we hope to see it up again in a couple of days.

[Sir Stig]

The Silver Scythe will do Double Duty this month.

[Maxim I]

Double Duty run:

• Prince of Stedor (by Maxim I) - Class 5T - Owner Maxim I & shareholders - Captain Willem Zwartbaard
  

[Tezclatipoca]

Hello !

Is the crown interested in warships to help for this MRCA run ? I've got the Toro Bravo, class 2A and the Pineapple Revenge, class 3A ready for duty.

And the Raenette is joining the double duty run this month.

Just double checking - the Raenette has a speed of 3, right?

We're always glad to have more warship protection! You're welcome to sign your ships up as escorts for whichever convoy you prefer. I'll PM you with more details/suggestions.

Yes the Raenette is speed 3, it's a Class 2F vessel.

I am happy to see Eslandola is welcoming my help.

I thought using El Toro Bravo to escort the Dragon teeth convoy.

[Legostone]

Winds Beauty is switching from Clouding Blues to Dragons Teeth! I'm sorry for the inconvenience!

We can't very well send out an escort flotilla without escorting anything, but unfortunately I've already filled out all the forms... are you sure you want to make this change?

Send the escorts pirate hunting!

[Kai NRG]

Send the escorts pirate hunting!

You bet I would, if I hadn't already filled all the forms out!

Learn from me: Always procrastinate! ;)
