Wow, I wasn't expecting such a detailed response.Actually, one of the questions I forgot was what was shipped where so that works out nicely.
I'd completely forgot about the WDF Wayward Son actually, I only remembered Hermes Universal Deliveries and The Masaka.The kind of ship I was thinking of was a container ship with RoRo (roll on roll off) capability (mostly because I was wandering through wikipedia after reading some fenspace stories, and when I came across the RoRo page the first thing that came to mind was hangar bay![[Image: happy.gif]](http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/happy.gif)
).
My original concept included a couple of tractor units (semi-trailer trucks) and several "company cars" for smaller deliveries, so the DHL in Space idea is really interesting, but I originally thought about a container ship because they require such a small crew that, with the level of automation I'm imagining, it could reasonably be crewed by five or six people (I don't think I could create a much bigger crew).On the other hand, that brings to mind an idea I had about the company picking up a nickname because of the ship's cat (Cabbit Express ).
I did remember one of the other questions I had (though its kind of stupid). In broad terms, what kind of money does the shipping industry in fenspace make (mostly because I'm not really sure what's considered a significant amount of money in fenspace). (I'm not really happy with the wording of that question, but I hope I got the idea across).
