[QUOTE="Ambrus, post: 3306153, member: 17691"] [COLOR=Gray]OOC: I just wanted to go over some of the details you listed. Selling the tanks and bacta at the rates you listed sounds fine. But considering that, at those values, we've got over two million credits worth of cargo, I have trouble imagining that we'll only have "enough to pay for just about everything" we wanted. I didn't imagine that any of it was all that expensive to begin with. How much did the two false identifications and trading license cost and what exactly do they include? Even if they require the work of a dedicated forger I hadn't imagined that they would cost much more than 10,000 to 20,000 credits or thereabouts. BTW, since Derek has never used his own name before there's no reason that he would have to change it to something different. If possible, he'd like his ID to simply reflect his own name. Dofina mentioned that she'd like to retain at least one or two tanks, but indicated that "a few more" might help speed things up. I have trouble imagining that we'd really need more than one fully functional bacta tank on such a small ship, but 1X will defer to her judgement and retain two of them if she insists.

Similarly, 11,000 credits seems pretty steep for a transponder; a piece of equipment not much more complicated that a comlink unit. Even with registration fees I didn't imagine it would cost much more than a few hundred credits to acquire. As is this thing would seem to increase the value of the [I]Venerable[/I] by half-again as much.
