PoppySeed45 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 As said, gearing up for a Drinax game. I figure, my players are obviously going to get into starship fights (pirates, after all) and will get their ship(s) banged up. My question is, how to figure out repair costs? I haven't seen anything (yet) explicitly calling out costs for ships (except maintenance at 1% per month/4 sessions). Am I missing something? Or do we assume it's like Hit Point cost (i.e. 5000cr per hit point lost) and cost to replace something (like 1000cr per crew stateroom if that got hit, for example)? Or some other figuring I'm missing? I feel like the answer is probably quite simple but my haphazard reading is missing it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pentallion Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 If you're playing Drinax the ship descriptions give maintenace costs in Traveller economy. So much of the campaign is in Traveller economy that you'd be better off not converting the money system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My impression was, costs in M-Space are lower, which frankly, I wanted to use (to create a feel more like Firefly for costs instead of the Traveller “for some reason you and your friends, virtual nobodies, are being given a loan for 23 million credits on the assumption your tramp freighter business will somehow generate a few hundred thousand credits a year over expenses”). Ah well, that’s the answer then. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pentallion Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 If you play Drinax they give you your starship. It spells out the repair costs, upgrade costs, etc. You don't owe anything. It's not a merchant ship. It's a pirate ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
