[SWd20]Off on the Rim OOC(Full)

If we all know each other shouldn't we just pool are money together?

We could pay off some master crafted tools pretty quick that way.

That's fine by me. Just give me the extra 130 credits that I need for my mastercraft weaponsmithing tools, and I'll be more than happy to make you weapons at cost. You were talking about getting them for me, right? Because given that we seem to have agreed on being seedy, I'll be damned before I pay to let some wannabe techie get the better of me in gunsmithing. I'll be glad to let you work on the engines, but Lance views the armoury as his personal domain.

Between this comment and mine, I can tell that intercharacter relations are going to be a blast.

What makes this all even funnier for me, is that no one's actually a REAL techie.

Here's some free character interaction then!

Maybe you should read the book and realize the advantages of paying 1500 for the "big" one, but sure we can waste 130 credits just so you can feel good about your own feeble skills.

You were talking about getting them for me, right?

Not hardly... My choice in making my own weapons and not using yours isn't a shot at your skills, wait yeah it is...

I'll be glad to let you work on the engines, but Lance views the armoury as his personal domain.

That's fine I'll feel safer anyway, and I'm sure their will be a spare footlocker on the ship...

Well except for some higher level stuff, the scoundrel has all the skill points you do need.

You do realize that no hand weapon requires tools of that complexity, and that the "ideal tools for the job" are item-specific, right? Unless you want me to turn out enough of one gun to equip an army, those tools are unneccessary, and only add +2, where the mastercraft tools of high complexity, adding +1, are only 20% of the price, which means that while mastercraft tools are cheaper than buying off the shelf, the "ideal tools" are more expensive for any less than four items of the same kind, and require more starting capital. If you want power armor, then yes, we'll need the extra 850 to bring my toolset up to par, but since none of us can wear the stuff yet, it's not a problem.

Actually, though you may not have realized it, it does make sense to make them yourself; personalization is better than customization, but no one can personalize an item for someone else. Despite your insulting intent, you actually made an intelligent decision. I'm impressed; like monkeys on typewriters, even you can occasionally make sense. It's a good thing you have piloting instincts, because it's a certainty you can't read the dials. "Altitude" has too many syllables.

Yeah it's not a problem if you don't want to plan ahead. We have the money I would say we get the stuff that will carry us the farthest...

I figure we are going to need or want a ship, right?

Though to be honest, a mastercrafted set no more complex than for weapons and another one for ships and what not could be a good idea.

Unlike you...

And your mother is a gundark. And an ugly one, at that.

On a more serious note, if we've known each other long enough, Daos will lend you that 130 credits. Consider it a loan with interest to be paid back by upgrading his stuff. Daos knows a smart investment when he sees one.

When I get home from work and have the chance to look what I think we really "need" we will be in better shoes to determine how much money we need to pool.

Thank you, and you'll have your weapons customized within a week of getting the raw materials.

Shatterstone: there's planning ahead, and there's wasting cash on tools that can't possibly be necessary so soon that I won't be able to pick up the cash for them in between then and now. I agree that we need a ship, and you should have the tools for repairing it, but there's no way in hell we can afford even the 1/3 you need for the materials. Our best bet is to steal one.
