Andon's Forum Game: Bounty Hunters!

[id3nt1ty]

In that case lets find out which port it's at, and then go there straight away.

[Solarflux]

Andon, any developments on my end? Also, could you have a look at my question regarding the stats overview?

[LtSpinx]

"Thank you commissioner, we will have your supplies delivered before you know it. End transmission"

Turning to the face the bridge waveing the freshly printed contract in the air, Spinx happily announced "Lads! We have our first job. It might not be glamorous, but it's a start"

"Not glamorous!" cried Ernie "Do you even know what we are hauling? Look!" pointing to the contract, "3 Kilotons of Grade 7 manure. This job is SH.."

Interterupting Ernie with a swift but friendly punch to the shoulder, Spinx moved to his chair "At least it pays well, set a course. What do I pay you for anyway?"

[Or in short, I fly to the pickup point]

[Andon]

Updated stats in inventories. Sorry, got distracted yesterday

[Raveen]

I buy:

1 L-18 Lasers at 4350
1 Autocannon at 3300

Assuming that's 1 small and 1 medium


I will take this mission:

Issuer: Belview Security
Wanted: Patrols apprehended a smuggler a few days ago, but could not locate any cargo. We want you to re-trace the path listed from his cargo and find the containers. Active scanners will make the job easier but may draw unwanted attention.
Rewards: 6,000 Credits per Container, +1 Awareness

[Andon]

L-18, R-18, and Autocannon are small mounts. L-26, anti-missile system, and Heavy Autocannon are medium mounts. But you can put a small weapon in a medium slot

[Solarflux]

Thanks Andon. I do still miss the power per turn and max power storage. Would it be a lot of trouble to add?

[Andon]

I can add them, once I get home

[Raveen]

I'll take the heavy autocannon instead of the regular one then...

[Andon]

Alright! Here we go! Turns will last "Appropriate" lengths of (in-game) time. Some people might get their stuff done earlier and take more turns, others may take longer. I'll update as needed. Also, sometimes, "Turns" will refer to things happening between main turns - Such as combat or whatever.

[spoiler=ID3's mission]Issuer: Ido Security.
Wanted: Criminal Courier - We have intel that a courier for a smuggling ring in Ido has been dispatched to Stormlord. The ship must be intercepted and the courier aprehended. Vessel owner will likely be unaware of importance of passenger or that the passenger is a wanted fugitive.
Rewards: 13,000 credits, +0.1 Reputation, +1 Awareness

You managed to track down the courier and the ship he's scheduled to depart on. Knowing that the ship can easily outrun yours, you intercept it before it leaves port, blocking its exit and identifying yourself, demanding the courier to surrender. What are your further actions?[/spoiler]

[spoiler=D3D's Mission]Issuer: Terasie Security
Patrol: Higher amounts of illegally obtained hardware is being shipped via Ido recently. We wish for you to run cargo inspections on designated ships.
Rewards: 12,500 Credits, +0.1 Reputation, +1.5 Awareness

You've inspected a few ships, but none of them had anything. Third from last ship on your list is a Type V owned by a man named Varek. He doesn't look too happy about being inspected, but he looks like the type of person that's never happy about anything. You state you are required to inspect his cargo, and he refuses. What further actions do you take?[/spoiler]

[spoiler=NJ's Mission]Wanted (Debt): "Ramror" - Owes 50,000 in damages. Current location unknown, last known location was Meketh. Clean-up and forms for death of this captain would cause expenses far in excess of worth. This is an open mission - Whoever collects the debt and returns it will gain the reward
Rewards: 10,000 credits, +0.1 Reputation, +1 Awareness

You head to the Meketh system, where a few traces find that the ship that Ramror is listed as serving on has recently transited to Pinnacle. What is your next course of action? (Note: Pinnacle can ONLY be accessed via Meketh)

New System: Meketh[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Spinx's Mission]Issuer: Paramount Industries
Wanted: Shipment to Belview. 30 Containers, best speed possible. Success will open further possibilities for work with Paramount.
Rewards: 25,000 Credits, +0.1 Reputation (2 turns to get to Belview via Stormlord)

So far, nothing has happened. You've successfully transited to Stormlord and are en route to the jump point to Belview.

[spoiler=Flux's Mission]Issuer: Nur-Co
Investigate: We have reason to belive that there is an illicit mining operation going on in Longate, and we want to make sure they stop stealing resources that are rightfully ours. We do not wish for any sort of confrontation at this time, just information.
Reward: 13,000 Credits, Reputation +0.1

You manage to track down a ship full of unlisted ore, but the crew didn't know where the mining operation was. After waiting for Longate Security to confiscate the vessel, you head back, a few thousand credits richer.

[spoiler=Rav's Mission]Issuer: Belview Security

Rewards: 6,000 Credits per Container, +1 Awareness

You take your ship and follow the route, finding four canisters. Returning them to the security center, they pay you, telling you they'll keep you in mind if anything further comes up.

+24,000 Credits

Inventory post has been updated - I added Awareness, Reputation, and power info, along with system changes and money changes.

[Solarflux]

Can we start a new mission?

[Andon]

Yeah, I can work some up for you. I'll be a bit though, just about to do a bit of RL stuff.

[Solarflux]

There was one more mission available right?

Issuer: Private
Transport: We need some information transported quietly and swiftly to Parth. Try not to get investigated by the authorities. It's legal, but some people might ask too many questions.
Reward: 15,250 Credits

If I can take this one on, put the laser in cargo (is it possible to switch it back from cargo to mounted when needed? Like in Allegiance.). Gather information regarding possible patrols and their routes, also keep an ear open for rumours regarding border checks. Activate cloak and get under way. Keep eyes out for trouble.

I don't think my cash is up to date.

I would like to deploy my weapons and target their engines in preparation.
"Courier ship, you are carrying a fugitive wanted by Ido Security and I am under contract to apprehend them. Power down all your systems except life support and await further instructions. If you attempt to leave or power up your weapons I will not hesitate to fire on you!"

Now, do I have any information on what this fugitive looks like or what their name is?

[Andon]

You get the money afteer contract completion
