[META] Proposal for Season 2: The Great Age of Exploration

[Dakota]

(Aside: Who gets the fleet made up of the Sophie, Polycrest, Surprise, Boadicea, and Leopard? They aren't Artemis, Starfleet, Republic, or VVS ships and we don't seem to have any Age of Sail Fen in Fenspace other than the Space Pirates - who wouldn't be caught dead flying navy ships - but the set's too good to not have somewhere...)

Actually the navy types could be a sub-faction of the Space Pirates, they do need someone to party... er.. fight with.

I'm tempted to say "That's what the Ninja are for."

I'd toss the Sabre's Tyger Tyger in for a trip around 2018 or so, maybe helping setup a long term research base in a solar system. With the Tyger's cargo capacity to carry a pre-built modular star base and supplies.

Oh, good - by that point, StellviaCorp will be looking to hire a heavy hauler for a few months. Zeta Tucanae should be ready by then to host a "forward base" to support the exploration of Beta Hydri...

That's a given, but they can't be the only rivals.

I'm up for it, on top of Sabre being a engineer himself and having part of the Tyger setup as a large workshop.

Blue Midget Fifteen will have been rebuilt by then, and Sparky is raring for some excitement in terms of carrying some cargo a really, really long way. JMC can spare that, and at least one more Blue Midget for a trip like that.

All the ships can be fitted out for a proper FTL journey, although it will slightly limit the mass they can haul.

Could work it out as the Tyger carrying the modules for the station and providing modile shipyard/workshop space. While the Midgets carry most of the supplies. The Tyger acting as a temporary station until the proper one is built and up to speed.
