Nicely done with the size restriction! Approved

Just to be on the safe side, lets just wait to transfer until the license total has been met. Just 5DBs short but Ska should have a build coming soon... Anyone have the ability to open a seven person PM?

Nice texturing!

This is a really nice build!

Nice! The framework looks good too!

Coyle Shipping Company Arlinsport, Tiberia

Nice!

Corrington has the tech, Eslandola has the gold I see the future of a great partnership between the two Empires.

It is basically how a wall or walls slides out to show the interior.

Thank you! Thanks! Thanks! I agree that the stern is a little high. However I could find no other way to fit the extra cabin in... Thanks! Thanks! I knew I was forgetting something... The stock option write up was written mostly by Bregir. Looking forward to your builds. The bounty redemption office sounds intriguing!

Thanks everyone for the comments! I added some more pics to initial post....

So this is what Kaliphlin looks like in a few hundred years! Nice house and furniture!

Haha, my attempts at saving the second post for the investment prospect failed due to the auto addition feature...

The log of Captain Aiden Coyle. January 22: I have arrived back in Belson and met up with my wife and son. It has been just over two years since I had last seen them, but... I almost didn't recognize them. Two years on the run has changed them... us all. I can't put the changes into words exactly, but we are no longer the pampered aristocracy we once were. My son is hardly a boy now. He has been accepted into the service of the queen. It is not a choice I would have chosen for him, but he is his own man now. I just worry for his safety but I suppose that there is danger wherever one is. The "Sulky Harlequin" is now ready for voyage. There are still some changes I would like to make to her, but we have no time as the Royal Society of Navigation and Discovery wishes us to sail within the week. I must now attend to her licensing which will require me to find some additional investors into our enterprise. END OF ENTRY This is my third free-build this month. If you are of another faction and give me an approval, please let me know in your comment if you have any builds you would like me to give you an approval for and I will return the favor. Investment prospect "The Sulky Harlequin" Are you looking for an investment opportunity with promises of great profits and insignificant risks? Do you too want to take your part in the rush for New Terra, and in the proceeds it may yield? Do you too want to support the glory and greatness of the Corrington empire, and the progress of our scientific achievements? Then read on, as here may be an offer you cannot refuse. Vessel: Salvaged from confiscation from fundamentalist Oleander radicals, the "Sulky Harlequin" is being refitted for a scientific and mercantile expedition towards New Terra for the glory of Queen Anetta. A mighty Carrack (rated 4T2 in accordance with the Royal Navy classification), she is perfectly balanced to meet the challenges and opportunities posed by the new lands. Rigged with a combination of square and lateen sails, she is fast and agile at all points of the wind, and able to outrun many an enemy. However, should push come to shove, she is armed with eight long 12-pounders, and able to hold her own in any fight, making her a safer investment than most alternatives. Her large cargo capacity ensures the potential for great economic gains, and the seaworthy construction of a carrack minimizes the risk of damage to ship or cargo. All in all, the "Sulky Harlequin" is a sound investment for the astute businessman, the educated entrepreneur, or the adventurous scientist. Shares: The venture has been divided in 10 shares, 3 of which will belong to the captain, Captain Aiden Coyle. Further, the three initiators (Mr. Aiden Coyle, Don Isaac Montoya, and Sir Thomas Smaugton) have each invested 45 doubloons in the venture, thus leaving 4 shares in open offering. Each share is offered at 45 doubloons, giving total proceeds of 315 (7x45), against the 300 required for licensing the vessel. The additional 15 doubloons will be included in the first profit calculations of the venture. Shares will be offered to citizens of all empires. However we caution citizens of Oleon that because of tensions between our empires, our interests may be conflict. Furthermore, these shares are only offered for a limited time. Should we not raise enough funds to license this ship this month, this offer will either be amended or withdrawn. Profit shares: Each share will entitle the holder to 10 % of the venture's profit, payable each month, unless otherwise decided by the general assembly. (See below) As such, all investors will achieve break-even the moment the enterprise has brought in a total profit of no more than 450 doubloons! Voting rights: Each share holds 1 vote, for a total of 10 votes in the general assembly. As the captain maintains 4 votes, 5 shareholders in concert will have the ability to overrule his dispositions. In the event of 5 vs. 4 (Captains vote) + 1, the five shareholders will be considered the majority. Special rights of shareholders: Each shareholder will be eligible for items of special scientific interest collected during the voyages of the Sulky Harlequin. These will be distributed by a principle of significant interest, allowing shareholders to request specific types of items, be it of anthropological, cultural or biological interest. (In-character condition, with no impact on the EGS!) Transferability of shares: Shares are transferable at market prices on the Corrington Stock Exchange. However, all transfers must be approved by the Captain and two shareholders. Risk profile: The risk profile will be decided by the general assembly by way of common vote. However, to protect the investors in the still uncertain environments of New Terra, initial missions are expected to be low risk trading missions under Royal Navy escort. However, neither captain, company, nor any investor can be held liable for losses incurred outside of their initial investment. The risk of total loss of the ship due to force majeure, pirates or similar must be taken into consideration by any potential investor. Solicitation: Any contractual conflicts will be handled under the common judiciary systems of Corrington. OOC: Thanks to Bregir for the stock option write up!

Looks like King Fernando is going to have some work on his hands keeping his realm from getting torn into a civil war. Not sure if Corrington will want to do business with Eslandola if our merchants have to bribe each of the three trading companies in order to have safe trading there....

He thought he discovered an island but lo and behold it was a continent! I wish... Anyway nicely done with the Lego you had on hand. I'm more of a hot and humid kind of guy, so tropic builds tend to pique my interest a bit more, but nicely done nonetheless

This should be interesting!

Is there a DB transfer form? I'll be asking for a DB investment for the license of my next ship. Hope to be posting it tonight.

Some really witty stuff... well done!

Can your intro count as both a free build with which to collect DBs and the intro that gives you 25DBs?

From the tropical vibe to the mini ship, this is a great entry! Might be my favorite so far!

Awesome intro and welcome to Corrington!

Thanks guys!

Excellent build! Glad you were able to join the collab!

How long do we have to license a ship for this months MRCA run?
