The Economic Guide to the Seas
Issue 1, Vol 1

Moving forwards
After a Disastrous Month in which one in seven ships were lost, all members of the Brick Seas are looking for better, calmer seas. But it was not just ship losses that were disastrous, the cost of launching ships kept the average profit low, leading to massive losses. But this Economic Journal will keep you up to date with strategies to make a profit on the Brick Seas. 

Upkeep Costs
The cost of launching a ship onto the Brick Seas is already expensive. But operating them is the real danger. Fortunately, the first 100 Dbs Spent can be written off. Therefore, we recommend you do your best to keep upkeep low. 

Why not simply go to high value ports?
 High value ports have taxes, and are swarmed by people looking to make a profit. And pirates love targeting the zones around these ports. Why stake your fortune on factors you cannot control?

Fleet Design
The Arlinsport Advisor recommends you craft a small fleet, one that will pay little to nothing in upkeep. Here are our designs.

Class	Class	Class	Class	Class	Cost	Total Points
2	2	4			5	42
2	2	4	0	0	17	54
2	2	4	1	1	35	60
2	4	4			50	48
2	2	2	2		0	48
2	1	1	1	1	0	48
2	0	0	0	0	0	36
2	4	5			80	51
2	5	5			115	54
2	7				75	39
2	2	2	2	2	20	60

And, as the Arlinsport proudly presents, the data in a graph

As you can see, A fleet with 60 Stat points can easily be obtained at a low cost. Larger ships, while individually providing a large amount of stat points, are not as useful as a fleet of small ships. Additionally, Large fleets of small ships have the benefit of Strength in numbers.

It strikes me as though WTC would fit better with, "We're Totally Crooks"...

Indeed, there is no "N" in "WTC".

Perhaps he should have presented it as “We’re Totally not Crooks”.
