We are ready to fly. Let’s talk about movement. Each “unit” has
a movement rate and each area has a movement distance between two
places. I want to get to the Spaceport, which has a dotted line with
a 10 connecting it to the Ruins. There are dotted lines to Industrial
area marked 4 and the Colony marked 3.
If we walked, it would take one hour times the number labeled on the
dotted line. It would take 10 hours to walk to the Spaceport, 3 to
the colony or 4 to the Industrial area. Thankfully, ships, boats and
skimmers are faster. A skimmer will move from one area to another in
1 hour. A boat or a ship takes 1/10 of an hour.
There is an
economy to movement. A boat burns 1 FU per hour of operation. A
skimmer burns one FU a day. A ship doesn’t use any fuel, why really
isn’t clear in the rules. Additionally skimmers, are not sealed, so
you could be burning Life Support Units, too. The boat is sealed but
also burns LU in space.
Yesterday, I made another accounting mistake. It turns out that loading a boat into the ship requires no energy or effort, so I marked off a Fuel Unit for nothing. I'm not going to fix it now.

We spend an hour moving to the Spaceport and I have no problem
entering the area as we are detected but nothing comes of it. I want
to hire more crew and sell off the found boat.
When buying and selling things, you have to roll the appropriate
event. In the Spaceport, each roll or transaction takes an hour. In
this case, I want a 5 to sell these boats. I didn’t get that today.
I do hire two ships gunners. Each one has a salary of 15 and a sign
on bonus of 10. This move makes me nervous, because I need to pay 300
on the ship by the end of the week.
Our assets are:
1 Antelope starship,
2 Hopper with 14 units of fuel between
them
1 Stasis pod 2 CU,
20 Repair units.
1 U-bot.
and the ship is fully fueled with 6
hypercharges.
I have 220 secs. in my pocket.
In the cache in the Ruins of Regari
are:
3 Skimmers,
4 Repair Units,
100 secs.
