Ships are quite expensive, did you mean obtaining in game, or at generation?
To start with a decent ship at generation, first talk to the GM. If this is not a pirate game, then he or she might allow you to pay "rent" or lease a ship using the Lifestyle rules of the SSG or simply calling it High lifestyle. This is attractive if the ship will have no real purpose in the game, though it has uses if the ship is the primary platform of adventure as well. Otherwise, if the ship is not primary or feasible, get a boat. Some yachts (especially used) are "almost" affordable. To obtain a ship in game... you can steal it, buy it, rent it, hijack, ect. However, I suggest, if the ship is not primary to the game, cultivating a smuggler contact (you could also start with one as a Buddy) who has such a craft. Then convince the GM to send the contact to jail while your PC looks after the ship or boat and pays the docking costs, maintainance, and so on (basically a lifestyle). |
