[QUOTE="Dagger75, post: 2589096, member: 539"] I was wondering if I could get some interesting ideas on how a 1st level character got there ship. I actually have no problem with the players having one at low levels in a Sci-Fi game I am just wanting some ideas on how they got it. Loan Shark- I have done this to death. Salvaged- Not a very big fan of Won in a <insert gambling game> -- Nah Inherited -- Doesn't seem that fun I do have few ideas I would like to share and get some constructive critism or ideas. Idea 1- One of the party members is hired by an unsavory sort to go to a government auction and get some cargo that was from a shipment that was impounded. The crew was caught and the contents are being auctioned off. There is something valuable in the cargo. The NPC can't waltz into a government run facility hiself so hires one of the party to buy Lot CG-107. The PC bids on it no problem when he goes to fill out the paper work Lot CG-107 was not just the cargo but due to a clerical error it is the ship it was on also. The bueracrats don't care, there is a line forming, its all legal and congrats to the luck man. Sign here the ship and the cargo are yours. Now the PC needs a crew for his new ship, the other PC's. Now some wrinkles: The NPC wants his ship back, it is his after all. Leagally its the players bought with the NPC's money. I would hope the PC would deliver the cargo and run but you never can tell. Also the former crew might want the ship back. After all the proceeds were menat to pay for the trial, lawyers, and other such stuff. Now they had spend some time in prison. [/QUOTE]
