Percy. Not exactly that kind of name that a pirate of famous proportions would have. However, he made due. Not that he IS a pirate of epic proportions, but ‘Iron Rodger’ will attest to everything. Up to and including being the Gingerbread Man.
May haps a bit of history is in order. But we’ll skip to the good part. He joined up with a merchant marine crew, and 16 days to Shangi, was boarded by a gang of thieves. According to his accounts, he ‘narrowly escaped with his life’ along with 3 cases of sake, and a rubber raft. And 9 days later, he was picked up, totally off his rocker with thirst, exposure, and alcohol poisoning. By that same ‘gang of thieves’. Things where not looking good for Percy. It also turns out that a half mad dwarf with a hangover is wondrous entertainment for people who have not had good dirty fun in too long. Thusly Percy and his ‘iron liver’ became part of the crew. Sadly, some years later off the north cost of South America, his ship was sunk during a running gun battle with the Aztlan Navy. He was more fortunate this time, having good weeks worth of food and water, a few books, a flare gun, and four cases of black market vodka, in a covered life raft. However, he was lost at sea for 28 days, the books where all badly written romance novel knock offs of Pirates of the Caribbean, the flare gun had no flares, and it was cheap vodka. Somehow, the UCAS coast guard picked him up. Having been listed as dead for several years tends to discredit all but the best stories. Thusly, he was now broke, sober, and a ‘little’ off in the head. So he stole a boat. And promptly had no idea what to do with it, other then try to flag down passing yachts so he could attempt to rob them. It didn’t work all that well. But with time (and we mean a lotta time) he figured out the method to correctly boarding and looting a ship. Starting with NOT calling yourself Percy. Hence, with a waterlogged copy of Dr Spock's baby book, he became ‘Iron Rodger’. A steady diet of fishing trawlers off the North east coast, spring break tours off the south east coast, and smuggling everything everywhere, eventually earned him enough money to upgrade. Multiple back room body mods, a small arsenal of weapons and one slightly used race boat later, he realized that his new craft wasn’t as sea worthy as his last. Sounds like time to find work…
Im still all for a yacht. Big, fast, sleeps 10. Comes with a fully stocked mini bar...

| There is the Vulcan Mini sub, pp 188-189 in Rigger 3. It can hold up to 8 people, in patrol mode, 'only' costs 1.2 mil. We could beef one up if RangerJoe comes up with a good discount. This would keep us closer to shore, maybe operate from a secret base, YARR!!!!, but it would be doable. And kinda fun, go more for a 20,000 leagues under the sea instead of the Black Pearl. Just a thought. Probably a dumb one. YARR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
good Idea, but change the sub.
Ranger Joe, can we get an old soviet-bloc attack or missle submarine?
(missle sub would be better. Quieter, and take out the missles and use the space for cargo and maybe a summoning circle.)
I would suggest either a
George Washington Class SSBN,
Maybe a soviet Victor III, or Tango-class Diesel boat. (I'd rather have a GW.)
If we have two riggers, we should be able to reduce the compliment to a decent amount. It's not like we'll be sailing combat conditions constantly, so you really only need half the crew. (maybe 3 riggers, (one the captain) a magi or two. 4-5 other crewmen, includingcooks, maintenance, and combat peeps)
magi and shamans might go a little nutso, and don't anyone DARE take a shark shaman. We'll all be dead in a week.

You, want a nuke sub? Your kidding.... right?
Assuming a H5, your talking 36 crew MIN before we have to make a check every day to have a break down in the middle of the ocean. (R3r 54) Never mind the pirates with the atomic powered sub...
RangerJoe

A nuclear sub? In a word, no. Think more along the lines of
the Minnow. (Well, maybe slightly larger, but the flash is worth it, no?)

Hey Lindt, R3 specifically says
| QUOTE |
| the delphin can hold up to eight people with suitable accommodations. |
You have us switch our ship skills to sub skills, and that is more than a couple of people with a decent B/R, enough to trick out the subs. If we could somehow get a hold of two (still a bunch cheaper at 1.2 mil a pop than a nuclear sub), we could comfort them up, hang out in malaysia or the philipines where there are a ton of unknown islands, and not really worry too much about getting SUB madness. You know, do some decker or contact legwork, find the kind of ship we want, send out the two subs, hit it, and then come back. It's not the Life at Sea pirate we were looking at in the begining, but with no crew and only 4-6 (maybe 8, I don't know how RangerJoe is going to whittle down the group, but I know I could only raise the max to a couple more people in a campaign without having to completely rework everything.)(disclaimer: I am not attempting to speak for RangerJoe), this might be the most feasible method of Piracy

I'd like to say that I am with Lindt, I think a Yacht is so much better than a sub. Hate to say it, but a Sub would have a more military feel, I'm more looking forward to the winds in our faces, pirate feel. I would not be even slightly interested in a sub.
Sphynx
Tarantula
Jan 13 2005, 07:38 PM
I agree with Lindt and Sphynx, that a ship/boat/thing is the way to go, not a sub. The only reason I even mentioned the sea-sled was its a way for my guy to get help moving along. And a better way for him to help out in boat to boat combat (underwater gyrojet rounds count as AV). The sled was originally only for him to be able to say, load some sunken cargo on, and have it send it back up while he works on finding the rest. More of a sits in the cargo bay until it needs to be uses kinda thing. Or if people are trying to board, since I got it rigger adaptation, and a water carbine, it could cruise around our ship and help pick off straggler enemy swimmers.
I MUCHLY prefer the idea of a boat, as thats what I first thought of.
Jaruen
Jan 13 2005, 08:05 PM
As a total landlubber who has never been on a boat in his life, I guess I need some visualization. Will a yacht really be able to hold all the loot we are trying to grab? Can we stay out at sea for a long time in a yacht? I was under the impression that a yacht was like a weekend-away from shore, not really useable for long distance. I know I have been arguing for a sub, but I would personally prefer a ship too (kinda hard to snipe from on top of the periscope
) So if someone could kinda fill me in on what a yacht really entails... thanks.
Tarantula
Jan 13 2005, 08:16 PM
From R3R: Yachts are large boats with an overall length greater than 20 meters, but less than 40 meters. Most of them are the toys of the very well-to-do. All yachts come with basic living amenities.
What you're thinking of seems to be their definition of a sports cruiser:
Sport cruisers are medium-sized boats, generaly used as pleasure boats by the wealthy. Sport cruisers generally measure between 10 and 20 meters long.
As far as carrying and such.... the max for yachts is 1,500 CF, and 3,000load for a gas powered one. Pretty big.

Unless I missed something from pages 28 and 66 of M&M, there's nothing stating that you can't have both. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Edit: Is that a RagerJoe rule? You posted on page 3 of this thead that you were thinking of a guy with both of those mods. Is there a post here I skipped over?

I was, checked, and you can't. Its on page 76 or so in M&M under bioware restrictions. Same place that says you can't have orthoskin & dermal sheathing, or 3+ cyberlimbs makes you lose your enhanced articulation.
