Acquiring a Ship

[Venris Helion]

I am thinking of having my character acquire a ship, either through purchase, theft, spoils of war, etc.

Would this count as a Development Thread? And if so how many posts would this require depending on how he acquires said vessel?

Do I make a bio for my ship in the Technology section of the forum first?

Are there certain types of ships that are off limits?


What I do know (if any of this affects the process)...

-The vessel will be small, around the size of the average small freighter, built more for speed and avoiding a fight than fighting a full scale battle.

-It can be manned by as few as one or two people but carry around a dozen people comfortably.

-It will just have some basic weapons (main guns, couple turrets, torpedoes, etc)

-No fighters or shuttles (nor any hangars for them)

-Basically your token Millenium Falcon/Ebon Hawk/Normandy type vessel that's one part living space, one part work space, one part space ship.

You… Don't need any work for that, unless it's a totally custom model. Pretty vanilla thing, there.

In short, just sub it. Probably get approved in a few hours.

You would do the dev thread first, and then submit a full submission to the factory. I'm no expert, so I don't even know if it would require a dev thread. They're pretty fun, though.

I'd love to help you with it, too!

If you do something like that, Dev thread and all, you can submit it to the factory and customize it anyway you want, within reasons and rules of course. Then it will officially be yours and one of a kind. But if it's just a basic ship...just put it in your bio.

I did that on an alt of mine, made a pretty fast corvette. What you might want to do is take any ship that's open-market or cannon (within reason), do a thread where you acquire one and then use it for a dev thread in getting a unique and modified version

Or if you want a ship that's already part living space, and a freighter ... http://starwarsrp.net/topic/45555-gaillard-nova-one/

...You could go to the Marketplace and buy one there. Silk Holdings has some excellent stuff, and my own Company, Heofon Industries, has a ship called the Holepunch that should fulfill all of your needs.

If the ship has nothing special you don't need a development thread. Simply sub a ship or purchase one if you're uncertain about it. The marketplace is a great place to start.

Okay then...so say if I go for this http://starwarsrp.net/topic/45555-gaillard-nova-one/and just put it in my bio and describe the basics, it'd be mine without any trouble? Or are there different processes and circumstances for different starship models?

If that ship isn't owned by one of your Alts...you will have to get permission from the owner to use it.

That is incorrect.

You can opt to either A) Purchase from the applicable marketplace thread, or B ) Decide that you've stolen/purchased/etc the ship in some way.

Either end in the same result you've mentioned. Simply post a link to the factory submission in your bio and you're good to go. The only time you can't do this is if the Affiliation of the submission is not Open Market.
