SkaForHire Posted March 4, 2016 Why should one work, but not the other? From a logical perspective, that is. Wouldn't it be equally 'hard to follow' that a ship suddenly has a different trade/fighting value when applied with a higher license? We separate the physical MOC from the role it is allowed to play within the game (=license). We allow a larger ship to sail with a smaller license, even to 'upgrade' when possible, which means you have to buy a full new license and get back the old one, when done with the paperwork. So why not allowing to make use of a big license to the limit of ones ship MOC? I mean in 'reality', if the trader comes to the port authorities and says 'Hey, I'm entitled to go on a trade mission, I have this charter here granting me huge trade values (=big license), so yeah, let's get it on!' But the official responds that his ship was to small to leave port at all. And that he should try again once he has a bigger ship. Where's the logical sense? A different question is of course, if such a procedure should be allowed in the game. But from a logical perspective I don't see any trouble. Oh, and congrats on hauling in the riches, Bregir! Your MCRA build could be you mimicking Scrooge McDuck diving into his gold But doesn't it seem odd to anyone that so many ships of the 'Merry Lyric' convoy, among them a 'Class 2F', ended up with a 256DB haul? *X-Files theme starts playing, suspicion intensifies* Really quick, because I don't have a lot of time: 7 zones, so 7 rolls to A)sink B)Hit a "golden voyage" which doubles your yield. You are going to see a lot of similar numbers as there are more ships because we start with the same base value of the trade centers added together in a convoy. Hm, I did 2 free builds and just have 35 DBs even though I just signed up in February. I registered both of them(well, one of the ships got captured though... Was their a free build form filled out for both? Yup indeed :p you know we had an 351 db income this month in total :D and we have right now 55 db in our coffins :) so not that bad at all! But ofourse, it could have been better if we didn't lose two ships (again) :p I knew you guys could take the joke, that's why the article was in there :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Legostone Posted March 4, 2016 Was their a free build form filled out for both? I remember doing so, there should be 2 free build forms on my name for last month. Btw, this months free build form is not yet available, I am guessing that'll change in the next few days? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt Wolf Posted March 4, 2016 I've got a question about the BoBs Scorecard. From my numbers, it looks to me like the "total feb yield" is the sum of my cash at the end of January and my February income (excluding the challenge awards) but does not reflect my February expenditures on licenses and such. Is this a correct reading? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vedauwoo Posted March 4, 2016 Has "Adjudication" from January missed freebuild filings been applied to these numbers? Seems I should have a monthly income of 37 if so (1 Lg Factory, 3 Sm Artisan, 1 Sm Artisan, 1 SM Residence) ...but I am listed as 22...also, does this Feb info also include "Jan MCRA Results" build rewards?

Kai NRG Posted March 4, 2016 Evidently my runs keep getting really low rolls! 7 zones and only 60 DBs... well, maybe we'll strike it rich next time, and I didn't sink at least, so I'm not complaining! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike S Posted March 4, 2016 I'm guessing that the Coyle Shipping Co. is grateful that Dearji the Windsong, Wandering Acolyte of the Triuri, insisted on doing a formal blessing on all ships in the Quick Wing trade run before they got underway. All the other captains of the Quick Wing must be having quite a debate on whether Dearji's blessing was the reason for the fair winds or if it was just simply good luck. Coyle Shipping Company sends its thanks to Dearji for the blessing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are no large licenses in any of the forms for anyone -- you registered a small factory, 3 small artisans, and a small residence over the two months, that is 22. Also, as long as you marked MCRA result in the form, it counted as a MRCA result and not a 3rd free build. On another note, these types of inquiries are probably best for the general thread, since they are not about the MRCA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tezclatipoca Posted March 5, 2016 Thank you Ska for the great work ! "To the Kings Port Advertiser editors, I am strongly protesting against all that infamy you are spreading over MAESTRO trade company reputation. Pretending that loosing ships is the end of our estimed company is showing your total lack of knowledge on how a company is working. I will add that some ships made good money entry in our coffins and a loss of a ship is not frightening our captains and crews ! So MAESTRO is still alive ! Felipe de la Manzana." Good article Ska ! That's giving us some fun and good story mater. Great job ! And I am happy that my ship is not destroyed this run ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Stig Posted March 5, 2016 I want to join the SkaForHire fan club. I appreciate all the soul ska put into the gazette. Giving it a flair of tabloid, and retaining the flavour of the era. I salute you, Ska for spicing up the stew that is the brethren seas. *tips hat* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bregir Posted March 12, 2016 On a second reading it occurs to me that it says that Garvey also claimed an island! I haven't seen anything about that elsewhere - is it a rumour, and if not, which one? Ps. I think this presentation was easier to follow than last months. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Sarge Posted March 24, 2016 Was re-reading the gazette (lovely presentation), and noticed in the tips it mentions the Queen 'o the Corries has a bun in the oven! Isn't that rather scandalous to be printing? After all, the young woman is unwed! Tsk, tsk! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
